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-LC1914WD
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Repairing a SUPRA TV with a V2K11 chassis should begin with a fault diagnosis, which involves a careful examination of the external and internal elements of the device. Visible damage to elements can sometimes indicate the direction of searching for a defect even before the necessary measurements are taken. 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 the power supply module fails, external manifestations may be different, for example, SUPRA STV-LC1914WD does not turn on at all and there is no indication of the control lamps on the front panel. With the same symptoms, the regulator (converter) of the control processor power supply may be faulty. In general, first of all, it is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the filters of the secondary rectifiers and the fuse at the mains input. If it is cut off, then the diodes of the rectifier bridge and the key transistor of the converter, which can be located either on a separate radiator or integrated with a PWM controller into a common microcircuit, should be checked for PN-transitions breakdown. Options are possible.
In most cases, key breakdowns in switching power supplies (SMPS) do not occur without reason and you should look for other faulty circuit elements that could provoke a defect. This can be dried electrolytic capacitors in the primary circuit, and faulty damper elements, as well as broken resistors or punctured semiconductor elements in the stabilization circuits. Possible defect of the PWM chip from the manufacturer.
In cases where the SUPRA STV-LC1914WD TV has lost the image, but there is sound and all other functions are operational, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the inverter (converter for powering the backlight lamps). When you turn on the TV, the image may appear briefly and immediately disappear. It should be borne in mind that with such manifestations, the lamps themselves fail, the malfunction of which can be detected by replacing, connecting for diagnostics to the connectors that are known to be serviceable and suitable in power. It must be borne in mind that in the event of a disconnection of the inverter protection (for the purpose of diagnostics) there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter and take special care. After carrying out repair work, the protection circuits must be restored for the further safe operation of the TV.

 The SUPRA STV-LC1914WD has no picture when a signal is present, often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) HT185WX1-501, 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, repairing the backlight requires disassembling the HT185WX1-501 LCD panel - a painstaking process that requires special 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 JUG7.820.699-4 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 should track the passage of LVDS signals from MainBoard JUG7.820.699-4, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.


In cases of an attempt to repair the JUG7.820.699-4 motherboard, it is necessary to check the performance of the stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits and, if possible, update the software (software). BGA chips can in most cases be diagnosed by local heating. Board repair and replacement of CPU chips: TSUMV26KE-LF, SPI FLASH: GD25Q40, EEPROM: 24C32. DVD - CPU: MT1389DE (JDAL), SPI FLASH: EN25F16, Pick: SOH-DL6. produced with the necessary equipment and the corresponding element base. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can be localized by the warm-up method.


Remember! Attempts to self-repair the SUPRA STV-LC1914WD TV by users without appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

 In case of malfunctions in the SPI FLASH software manufactured by Winbond, sometimes they can temporarily restore their performance after temperature exposure, for example, warming up with a soldering station or a lighter. This is often enough to be able to read the standard software content. The microcircuit after that must be replaced with a new one.
