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!

STV-LC1515WD Specifications
SUPRA STV-LC1515WD
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Diagnostics of malfunctions and repair of SUPRA with CVMV26L-A-20 chassis, like other electronic devices, is recommended to begin with an external examination of external and internal elements. Based on visible changes in the state of components, it is usually possible to determine the further direction of troubleshooting and localization of the defect before taking the necessary measurements. Elements with visible damage, for example, capacitors swollen after the electrolyte boils, charred resistors in certain nodes of the circuit, as well as ring cracks in the solders, will help the master guess about the causes and possible consequences of the malfunction.
If SUPRA STV-LC1515WD does not turn on, no indicator lamps on the front panel will light up or blink, therefore, there is a very high probability of a power module malfunction. In some cases, only the processor power regulator may be faulty. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, first of all, you should replace the swollen capacitors of the secondary rectifier filter and check the fuse and, if it is broken, you must identify the cause. Often in such cases an avalanche (thermal) breakdown is detected in the power semiconductor elements of the module - rectifier diodes and transistors in the primary circuit.
The reasons for the breakdown of the power switch in switching power supplies (SMPS) can be different, for example, a malfunction of semiconductor elements or electrolytic capacitors in the stabilization circuits of the primary circuit, as well as a failure in the operation of a PWM regulator microcircuit or breaks in resistors in its strapping.
If, when SUPRA STV-LC1515WD is turned on, there is no image, or it appears for a second and disappears altogether, but there is sound, most likely either the backlight lamps or their power converter (inverter) are faulty. It is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers in the common power supply. It should be remembered that when the protection is disabled in order to diagnose a malfunction, there is always a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter. After repairs, it is imperative to restore all standard converter protection circuits.
Repair or diagnostics of the CVMV26L-A-20 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. If necessary, you should update the software (software). Complicated MB (SSB) repair is possible only in the conditions of a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing CPU TSUMV26KE-LF, Flash EON EN25F40 TV, EON EN25T80 DVD elements requires the necessary training and professional skills in repairing modules at the component level. Problems associated with BGA soldering technologies can be diagnosed by the warm-up method.

 The SUPRA STV-LC1515WD has no picture when there is a signal, and it is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) TMS156WX1-01TB, 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 TMS156WX1-01TB 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 often the main board MainBoard CVMV26L-A-20 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 should track the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard CVMV26L-A-20, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.



Attention to the owners! Attempts to repair the SUPRA STV-LC1515WD TV yourself are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

 The appearance of the MainBoard CVMV26L-A-20 is shown in the figure below:
CVMV26L-A-20

The CVMV26L-A-20 motherboard uses a TSUMV26KE-LF (TSUMV36KE-LF) processor combined with a scaler, SPI FLASH 520Kb ROM 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.
