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!

General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible manifestations of malfunctions
- THOMSON 32M71NH20 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.
With similar manifestations, a malfunction is most likely found in the JSK4338-007A power module. It is then necessary to measure its output voltages and, in their absence, the power switches and rectifier diodes of the converters should be checked for the probability of a short circuit.
In case of any breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in an emergency mode of a short circuit, and with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or the current sensor at the source of the key often breaks off.
Breakdown of Mos-Fet switches used in switching power supplies is often caused by malfunctions of other elements, for example, in the power supply circuit of the PWM controller, in frequency setting or damper circuits, as well as in negative feedback stabilization. PWM microcircuits (PWM) L6563 (PFC 14pin), ICE3B0565, L6599D are usually checked by replacing them with new ones, or known to be working properly.
- There is no picture, but there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image appears when turned on and immediately disappears
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.
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 40-MT01TI-MAD2XG 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). Sometimes it is necessary to check or replace (if necessary) elements of the MainBoard - MT8202 MT8293AE S29AL016D70TFI02 ULB800057A TEDE9-2C2B. In cases where a BGA processor is used, its malfunction is usually detected by the local warm-up method.

If the TV operates normally from external devices but does not tune to TV channels, the TEDE9-2C2B tuner may be faulty. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus. Sometimes the reason for the inoperability of the tuner may be a software failure.

 The lack of an image in the presence of a signal from THOMSON 32M71NH20 is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) LC420WX7 (SL) (A1), for example, a malfunction of 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, disassembly of the LC420WX7 (SL) (A1) 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-MT01TI-MAD2XG 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 should track the passage of LVDS signals from MainBoard 40-MT01TI-MAD2XG, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.

Owners and users of the THOMSON 32M71NH20 TV should remember that self-repair without special knowledge, skills and qualifications may be fraught with negative consequences that can lead to complete non-repairability of the device!
