In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

SAMSUNG UE32M5500AU
General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions
- SAMSUNG UE32M5500AU does not turn on, does not respond to buttons and the remote control, indicators on the front panel do not light or flash.
In some of these cases, the fault is detected in the BN44-00869B power module. Then we recommend measuring its output voltages and, if they are absent, you should check the serviceability of the power switches (TO-252) and rectifier diodes of the converters for a possible short circuit.
In case of any breakdown of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually operate normally in an emergency short-circuit mode. There are no output voltages. And with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, as a rule, the mains fuse breaks and, less often, the current sensor in the source of the key.
Mos-Fet power switches used in switching power supplies sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can disable it in the key mode, or create an excess of the maximum permissible key parameters. These can be elements supplying a PWM regulator, frequency setting or damper circuits, or elements of negative feedback in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers PFC (so-8), PWM (so-16), in the absence of visible damage or outright short circuits between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with new ones, or known to be in good working order.
- There is no picture, but there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image appears when turned on and disappears immediately
The malfunction in most of these cases is found in the nodes and elements of the LED panel backlight. Often the reason is a malfunction of the LEDs (open circuit, short circuit ...), or the connectors of the strips (strings), less often the LED driver turns out to be faulty.
To check the health of the LED circuit, it is better to use a current source with a maximum voltage of 200V. We do not recommend using any voltage sources for this purpose. You can check each LED separately with a simple Chinese multimeter (powered by 9 volts) in the P-N transition test mode. If you connect the red probe of the multimeter to the anode of the LED, and the black one to its cathode, then the 3-volt LED will light up slightly, and in the opposite direction you can detect the transition of the emergency zener diode. The serviceability of the PN junction of the Zener diode indirectly indicates the serviceability of the LED-a
- The TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator blinks or signals the standby mode.
Repair or diagnostics of the BN41-02575B motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Sometimes it is necessary to check or replace (if necessary) elements of the MainBoard - CPU: SDP1604, eMMC: THGBMDG5D1LBAIT, SPI Flash: 25Q40, EEPROM: 25C512. In cases where a BGA processor is used, its malfunction is usually detected by the local warm-up method.
If the TV operates normally from external devices, but does not tune to TV channels, the N40-00331B tuner may be faulty. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus. Sometimes the reason for the inoperability of the tuner may be a software failure.
Users and owners of TVs should remember that attempts to self-repair a SAMSUNG UE32M5500AU TV without the appropriate qualifications and necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

Main features of the SAMSUNG UE32M5500AU device:
Installed matrix (LED panel) CY-KK032BGAV1V.
Matrix control uses the T550HVN08.3 Timing Controller (T-CON).
A converter combined with a power supply is used to power the backlight LEDs, it is controlled by an 8 pin PWM controller. TO-252 switches are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG UE32M5500AU TV is carried out by the BN44-00869B power module, or its analogs using PFC (so-8), PWM (so-16) chips and TO-252 power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a BN41-02575B module, using CPU chips: SDP1604, eMMC: THGBMDG5D1LBAIT, SPI Flash: 25Q40, EEPROM: 25C512 and others.
Tuner N40-00331B provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

 The Samsung website has a firmware (software update) for the UE32M5500AUXRU, version 1280.5 from 11/14/2019.

TV SAMSUNG UE32M5500AU with LCD CY-KK032BGAV3V, diagonal size 31.5 "(80 cm) 16: 9. This model uses a panel with edge LED backlighting - Edge LED.

Attention! Panel CY-KK032BGAV3V of LED TV SAMSUNG UE32M5500AU 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.
