General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible malfunctions
- THOMSON 32LB030B5 does not turn on and does not show any signs of operability at all. Does not blink indicators and does not respond to control buttons.
Most often, with similar manifestations, the main power module 715T1180-3 is faulty. It is necessary to make sure that its output voltages are present and, if they are completely absent, check the power switches (IRFP460A, STP10N70) and rectifier diodes for a possible short circuit.
In case of any breakdown of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually operate normally in an emergency short-circuit mode. There are no output voltages. And with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, as a rule, the mains fuse breaks 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 TDA4863-2G, L6565D, TOP246YN, 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 the image may appear for a second when turned on and disappear immediately.
The defect can be caused by problems in the nodes or elements of the display backlight, or in the power supply of the lamps or the inverter.
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 indicator on the front panel blinks, the TV does not turn on in operating mode, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the 715V1265-J motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Repair of the board and replacement of the SPV302A-HI022, MST9883C-LF microcircuits are performed if the necessary equipment and the corresponding element base are available. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can be localized by warming up.
FQ1216ME / IH-5 tuner malfunction. is installed after checking the software and all supply voltages at its terminals. The data exchange of the tuner with the processor via the I2C bus can be monitored with an oscilloscope.

The lack of an image in the presence of a signal from THOMSON 32LB030B5 is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) V320-L01 Rev. C4, 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, to repair the backlight, disassembling the V320-L01 LCD panel is required - 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 715V1265-J 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 the normal range, then the oscilloscope needs to track the passage of LVDS signals from MainBoard 715V1265-J, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.

Attention to users! Self-repair of the THOMSON 32LB030B5 TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

The main features of the THOMSON 32LB030B5 device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) V320B1-L01 Rev. C4.
The VIT70002.60 inverter is used to power the backlight lamps.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the THOMSON 32LB030B5 TV is carried out by the 715T1180-3 power module, or its analogs using TDA4863-2G, L6565D, TOP246YN microcircuits and power switches such as IRFP460A, STP10N70.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 715V1265-J module, using SPV302A-HI022, MST9883C-LF and others.
Tuner FQ1216ME / IH-5. provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
