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!

SUPRA STV-LC1917W
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
It is advisable to start repairing all electronic devices, including the SUPRA TV based on the V1K09 chassis, with an external examination of its external and internal elements. According to some external signs of a change in the state of some elements, it sometimes becomes possible to make assumptions about the nature of the defect, as well as to determine the further direction of troubleshooting. Experienced repairmen often guess about the causes of the defect and the possible consequences, for example, by ring cracks in the soldering of the element terminals, as well as by swollen capacitors or resistors burnt out to coal dust and other external indirect signs.
Sometimes SUPRA STV-LC1917W TV just won't turn on. No control lamps on the front panel are on or blinking, the TV does not respond to the remote control and does not emit any sounds or any signs of life when turned on. The most likely cause of a malfunction is the failure of the common power module. If it works, check the processor batteries on the SSB (Main Board). Diagnostics and repair of the common power supply should always begin with checking the mains fuse and the condition of the electrolytic capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters. Defective and swollen capacitors should be replaced with new ones. If the fuse breaks, it is advisable to check for breakdown, first of all, all the power semiconductor elements of the converter and the diode bridge of the mains rectifier, as well as the large electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter.
It should be borne in mind that in the practice of repair, it is extremely rare for key transistors in switching power supplies (SMPS) to fail without reasons that should be looked for by checking other components, for example, a key breakdown can provoke faulty elements of damper circuits, or dried electrolytic capacitors or broken primary resistors power supply circuits involved in the stabilization process. In this case, all semiconductor elements of the strapping of the PWM regulator microcircuit are subject to verification, which it is advisable to check by replacement.
If SUPRA STV-LC1917W has no picture, but there is sound, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the backlight lamps or their power converter. You should also make sure that the electrolytic capacitors of the secondary rectifiers of the common power supply are in good condition. All necessary precautions must be taken when disabling the inverter protection during diagnostics and do not leave it disabled after repair is completed.
On the CVMV26L-G motherboard, in case of a malfunction, you should first check the operability of all stabilizers or power converters of microcircuits and, if necessary, update the software (software). In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the serviceability of its elements - CPU: TSUMV26KE-LF, SPI FLASH: EN25F40 which may require replacement with new ones. If a BGA processor is installed, there is a possibility that the soldering of the contacts of its pins with the board is broken (detected by warming up).

 The SUPRA STV-LC1917W has no picture when there is a signal, it is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) HK185WLCM-BH01H, for example, a malfunction of CCFL (EEFL) lamps, and outside in their power source - an inverter.
Without backlighting, sometimes you can see a barely noticeable image with a certain successful hit of external light on the screen.

Often, to repair the backlight, disassembly of the HK185WLCM-BH01H LCD panel is required - a painstaking process that requires increased attention and accuracy from the master. In such cases, there is a possibility, with the slightest negligence, to damage the glass or loops and the TV may become unrepairable.
We strongly do not recommend doing such work to owners of TVs and craftsmen who do not have experience in repairing LCD panels! Moreover, at home (at the owner's home).

If there is no image in the presence of backlight, the screen becomes slightly lighter when turned on, and if the TV is open, the light from the lamps can be seen through the holes in the panel case.
In this case, there may be a malfunction inside the panel, damage to strips, loops, the T-CON board (Timing Controller) may be defective. But the main board MainBoard CVMV26L-G often turns out to be faulty, a software failure is also possible.
In such cases, the master first of all needs to check the main supply voltage of the panel at the LVDS connector, the fuses on the T-CON board or the panel brackets, as well as the supply and reference voltages for the line and column drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If all of the above measurements are within the normal range, then the oscilloscope must track the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard CVMV26L-G, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.


Owners and users of the SUPRA STV-LC1917W TV need to remember that self-repair without special knowledge, skills and qualifications can be fraught with negative consequences that can lead to complete non-repairability of the device!

The CVMV26L-G motherboard uses a TSUMV26KE-LF (TSUMV36KE-LF) processor, combined with a scaler, SPI FLASH 520Kb and EEPROM 24C02C.
It is advisable to start repairing the MainBoard with checking the voltage converters and linear stabilizers, which are necessary to provide power in operating and standby modes. Check the power supply of the LCD panel 5V or 12V, depending on the type of panel used, it is necessary to measure directly at the LVDS connector. If, with the necessary supply voltages, the TV does not come out of Stand-by mode, does not respond to the remote control and control buttons, you should update the SPI Flash software.
