General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible malfunctions
- PANASONIC TX-26LE60P TV does not turn on at all. No response to the remote control and front panel control buttons. Indicator lamps do not light up or flash.
In some of these cases, the main switching power supply, the TNP8EPL50 module, is faulty. It is necessary to measure its secondary output voltages, and if they are absent, check the power switches (2SK3767) and rectifier diodes in the converters for a short circuit.
In case of any breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in an emergency mode of a short circuit, and in the event of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or the current sensor in the source of the key is often cut off.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in switching sources is sometimes caused by malfunctions of other circuit elements, for example, in the circuits supplying the PWM controller, frequency setting or damper, as well as in the circuits of Negative Feedback (OOS) stabilization. PWM controllers (PWM) F9222L, if they do not have visible damage to the case and an outright short circuit between the terminals, are usually checked by replacing.
- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image may appear for a second when turned on and immediately disappear.
These manifestations can be triggered by the power module, or by defects in the inverter, as well as by skewed currents in the lamps due to their uneven wear. If all the electrolytic capacitors of the filter for the power supply of the inverter are in good working order, you should make sure that the lamps are in good condition, then you need to check the converter keys and the secondary windings of the transformers.
Sometimes, for diagnostic purposes, it is necessary to disable the inverter protection. In such cases, special care must be taken during work, and the protective circuits must be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- The indicator blinks or is on constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the TNP8EAL40 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters required to power the microcircuits and the matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Often the MB (SSB) board needs to be replaced in the event of complex malfunctions that are difficult to detect. When trying to repair, you should check its elements - VCT 6973G B2 000, 24C32AN, TDA8931T and replace the failed chips with new ones. Some malfunctions can be associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies in modern Main Board. Typically, such defects are detected by local heating of the chip.
The TXN / BL50AFPS tuner malfunction is established after checking the software and all supply voltages at its outputs. The data exchange of the tuner with the processor via the I2C bus can be monitored with an oscilloscope.
We remind users again! Attempts to repair the PANASONIC TX-26LE60P TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

Main features of the PANASONIC TX-26LE60P device:
The matrix (LCD-panel) T260XW02 V.8 is installed.
Matrix control uses Timing Controller (T-CON) 05A09-1E.
The VIT71014.52 inverter is used to power the backlight lamps. The keys of the AOD606 type are used as the power elements of the inverter.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PANASONIC TX-26LE60P TV is carried out by the TNP8EPL50 power module, or its analogs using F9222L microcircuits and 2SK3767 power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a TNP8EAL40 module, using the VCT 6973G B2 000, 24C32AN, TDA8931T and others.
The TXN / BL50AFPS tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
