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!

THOMSON 15A08F50
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible malfunctions
- THOMSON 15A08F50 TV does not turn on. There are no signs of operability. The indicators on the front panel do not light or blink, the TV does not respond to the remote control and control buttons.
Often in such cases, the AD048S110-220-12 power supply module is faulty.
This TV model is equipped with an external power supply unit such as AD048S110-220-12 Adapter 12V 4.2A, which the owner can purchase independently, and its repair may not always be advisable, however, sometimes it makes sense to open it and eliminate simple typical defects. typical for SMPS. It is necessary to measure its secondary output voltages, and if they are absent, check the power switches and rectifier diodes in the converters for a short circuit.
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually work in an emergency in the short-circuit mode, and with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse often breaks.
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, in the absence of visible damage or outright short circuits between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with new ones, or knowingly working properly.
- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control, the channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when turned on and disappears immediately.
These manifestations can be triggered by the power module, or by defects in the inverter, as well as by skewed currents in the lamps due to their uneven wear. After checking all the electrolytic capacitors of the filters that are involved in the power supply of the inverter, you should ring the power switches in its converter for breakdown and the secondary windings of the transformers for an open.
If, when diagnosing a malfunction, it is required to turn off the inverter protection, there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter, and special care is required during work, and after they are completed, it is imperative to restore the protection circuits for the further safe operation of the TV by the owner in normal mode.
- 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 40-LDM21B-DIE4XG 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 - GM2221-LF, 24C16, SST39SF020A, TVP5147, TDA9886T which may require replacement 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 (indicated by warming up).
Before changing the tuner 07-389F15-NA4G = F07WP-3B-E (TDA6509ATT), if it is not possible to tune to TV channels, you should make sure that there are supply voltages that must be measured at the corresponding tuner pins and check the software for correctness. The pulses of the data exchange of the tuner with the processor can be monitored with an oscilloscope.

 The lack of an image in the presence of a signal from THOMSON 15A08F50 is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) HT150X02-100, 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 HT150X02-100 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 40-LDM21B-DIE4XG 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 line and column drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If all of the above measurements are within normal limits, then the oscilloscope should track the passage of LVDS signals from MainBoard 40-LDM21B-DIE4XG, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.


Once again, we remind TV users: you should not try to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repair to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of electronic repair.
