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 T32C30U
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible manifestations of defects
- THOMSON T32C30U TV does not turn on at all. No response to the remote control and front panel control buttons. Indicator lamps do not light up or flash.
Most likely, in this case, the main switching power supply (SMPS) 40-A112C6-PWB1XG is faulty. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in the event of their absence (full or partial), the serviceability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes should be checked for a possible 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.
The breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in switching sources is sometimes caused by malfunctions of other circuit elements, for example, in the circuits supplying the PWM controller, frequency setting or damper, as well as in the circuits of Negative Feedback (OOS) stabilization. PWM regulators (PWM) IC_Power, if they have no visible damage to the case and an outright short circuit between the pins, are usually checked by replacing.
- There is no picture, 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.
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.
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 indicator blinks or is on constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the 40-MT27C1-MAC2XG 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 some cases, to repair the MB (SSB) board, it may be necessary to replace the chips - WT8227AAKU 1239-BMSL 25Q32BVSIG with new or known good ones. In cases where BGA technologies are used, defects are usually localized by heating.
Before changing the tuner 18273 TCL, if it is not possible to tune to television channels, you should make sure that there are supply voltages, which must be measured at the corresponding terminals of the tuner 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 the THOMSON T32C30U is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) LVW320CSTM C3 V2, 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 LVW320CSTM LCD panel is required - a painstaking process that requires special attention and accuracy from the master. In such cases, it is possible, with the slightest carelessness, 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-MT27C1-MAC2XG 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 the above measurements are within the normal range, then the oscilloscope should track the passage of LVDS signals from MainBoard 40-MT27C1-MAC2XG, as well as synchronization signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.
 

We remind users again! Attempts to self-repair the THOMSON T32C30U TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

The main features of the THOMSON T32C30U device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) LVW320CSTM C3 V2.
Matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) ST3161A04-1.
A converter combined with a power supply is used to power the backlight lamps, it is controlled by the OZ9976GN PWM controller.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the THOMSON T32C30U TV is carried out by the 40-A112C6-PWB1XG power module, or its analogs.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 40-MT27C1-MAC2XG module, using WT8227AAKU 1239-BMSL 25Q32BVSIG chips and others.
Tuner 18273 TCL provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
