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 32HR5230
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible manifestations of malfunctions
- The THOMSON 32HR5230 TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, the indicators do not light up or flash.
Most likely, in this case, the main switching power supply (SMPS) 40-PWL32B-PWD1XG is faulty. It is then necessary to measure its output voltages and, if they are absent, the power switches (2SK3568) and rectifier diodes of the converters should be checked for the probability of a short circuit.
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits of any converter, as a rule, it can operate in an emergency mode of short circuit without output voltages, and with a short circuit in the elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse most often breaks off immediately 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 VIPer22, L6563, L6599, 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 working properly.
- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or, immediately after switching on for a second, the image may appear and immediately disappear.
These manifestations can be provoked by the power module, or by defects in the inverter, as well as by the skew of 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, ring the power switches in its converter for breakdown and the secondary windings of the transformers for an open circuit.
Sometimes, for diagnostic purposes, it is necessary to disable the inverter protection. In such cases, special care must be taken during work, and the protective circuits must be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- 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 08-MT21006-MA300AA 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). Complicated MB (SSB) repair is possible only in the conditions of a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing elements CPU: MT8221, SPI Flash: W25X32VF requires the necessary training and professional skills to repair modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can sometimes be diagnosed by the warm-up method.
Before replacing the TEDE8-601A tuner, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its outputs. You also need to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus.

 The lack of an image in the presence of a signal from THOMSON 32HR5230 is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) LTA320AP02, for example, a malfunction of the CCFL (EEFL) lamps, and outside in their power source - the 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 LTA320AP02 LCD panel - a painstaking process that requires special attention and accuracy from the technician. 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 08-MT21006-MA300AA 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 08-MT21006-MA300AA, as well as synchronization signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.





Owners of the 32HR5230 TV are advised to contact only qualified specialists with the necessary experience for repair! Attempts to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!

The main features of the THOMSON 32HR5230 device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) LTA320AP02.
Matrix control uses Timing Controller (T-CON) 320AP03C2LV0.3.
To power the backlight lamps, an SSI320 inverter is used, controlled by the OZ9966SN PWM controller. An LT-U3208 transformer is installed in the inverter converter. KMB054N40DB, STU432S keys are used as power elements of the inverter.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the THOMSON 32HR5230 TV is carried out by the 40-PWL32B-PWD1XG power module, or its analogs using VIPer22, L6563, L6599 microcircuits and 2SK3568 power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 08-MT21006-MA300AA module, using CPU chips: MT8221, SPI Flash: W25X32VF and others.
The TEDE8-601A tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
