General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions
- SAMSUNG UE43RU7100U TV does not turn on at all. Control lamps do not light up or blink. The TV on the remote control and control panel buttons does not respond.
In some of these cases, the main switching power supply, the BN44-00947J module, is faulty. Its output voltages should be measured and, in their absence, the power switches (TO-252) and rectifier diodes should be checked for the probability of a short circuit in the converters.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits of the converter, it can usually work in an emergency mode in a short-circuit mode, and with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or current sensor in the source of the key most often breaks off.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements, which can disable it in key mode, or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage values. These can be circuits supplying a PWM controller, damper or frequency setting circuits, or OOS (negative feedback) elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers (PWM) PFC, PWM, in the absence of external damage and a short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with known good ones.
- There is no picture, but there is sound and reaction to commands from the remote control. Or the image appears immediately after switching on and disappears.
The most likely problem in these cases is a malfunction of the LED backlight. The reason can be found in the malfunction of the LEDs, in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips, or in the provision of their power supply (LED driver).
It should be remembered that it is not possible to determine an open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panels using a tester or multimeter without an additional device, for example, a current source. To open all PN junctions connected in series at once, a voltage of several tens of volts may be required. Then you need to open the panel and check each LED separately with a multimeter. If the capabilities of your multimeter do not allow opening the LED in the forward direction or dual LEds are used, then the PN transition of the emergency zener diode can indirectly serve as an indicator of serviceability. In the event of a malfunction of the LED-a, the PN-junction of the zener diode will either be cut off or broken into the K / Z.
- The indicator on the front panel blinks, the TV does not turn on in operating mode, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the BN41-02703A motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters required to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the serviceability of its elements - CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC / DC which may need to be replaced with new ones. If a BGA processor is installed, there is a possibility of a violation of the soldering of the contacts of its pins with the board (detected by warming up).
If you suspect a malfunction of the BN40-00331B tuner, first of all, you need to make sure that the software is correct, as well as the presence of the necessary levels of supply voltages and pulses of data exchange with the processor via the I2C bus on the corresponding terminals of the tuner.
Remember! Attempts to self-repair the SAMSUNG UE43RU7100U TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!

Main features of the SAMSUNG UE43RU7100U device:
The matrix (LED-panel) CY-NN043HGAB1V is installed.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter combined with a power supply is used, controlled by the SOP-16 PWM controller. TO-220F switches are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG UE43RU7100U TV is carried out by the BN44-00947J power module, or its analogs using PFC, PWM microcircuits and power switches of the TO-252 type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a BN41-02703A module using CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC / DC and others.
Tuner BN40-00331B provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

Attention! Panel CY-NN043HGAB1V LED TV SAMSUNG UE43RU7100U is an expensive and unreliable element.
Do not allow any impact on the glass and pressure on the screen surface to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe for liquid to spill onto the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it drips down the glass onto the cables to make the TV unrepairable.
