General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible manifestations of defects
- THOMSON T32ED07U-01B 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.
In such cases, the main power supply, the AC / DC converter of the mains voltage, which is combined with the MainBoard TP.VST59.P8B, may be faulty. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and if they are absent (full or partial), the serviceability of the power switches (7N65L) 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 in the source of the key is often cut off.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements, which can disable it in key mode, or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage values. These can be circuits supplying the PWM controller, damper or frequency setting circuits, or OOS (negative feedback) elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers (PWM) PWM SOT23-6, in the absence of external damage and a short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with a known good one.
- There is no picture, but there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image appears when turned on and immediately disappears
In some of these cases, the malfunction is caused by the lack of display backlighting. The reason for this may be an open circuit in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
To check the LED strips for breakage without disassembling the panel, for example, a current source will help. It is impossible to open series-connected PN junctions with a simple multimeter; a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required.
- 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 TP.VST59.P8B 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). In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the serviceability of its elements - TSUMV59XE-Z1; SPI Flash: 25Q32, ATML265C, TPA3110LD2 which may require replacement with new ones. If a BGA processor is installed, there is a possibility that the soldering of the contacts of its pins with the board is broken (detected by warming up).

 If THOMSON T32ED07U-01B   has no picture, but there is sound, often the display backlight simply does not work. Moreover, in LED TVs, the LEDs inside the panel usually fail, less often the LED driver.
In such cases, you can see a barely noticeable image with a successful hit of external light on the screen.
Replacing the LEDs requires disassembling the LCD panel - a process that requires experience and qualifications from the master. We do not recommend doing such work on your own to the owners of TVs and craftsmen who do not have experience in repairing LCD panels
If there is no image, and the backlight is on, the screen becomes slightly lighter when turned on, and in an open TV you can see light through the holes in the panel case.

In this case, the panel may also be faulty - damage to the strips, loops, for example, as a result of moisture ingress after unsuccessful washing of the screen, the T-CON (Timing Controller) board may be faulty. But often the main board MainBoard turns out to be faulty, a software failure is also possible.
Then, first of all, it is necessary to check the panel supply voltage, fuses on the T-CON board, as well as the supply and reference voltages of the column and line drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If these measurements are within normal limits, it is necessary to trace the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard with an oscilloscope, as well as synchronization signals to the loops with drivers.
Flooded or unsuccessfully washed screens of LED TVs can be restored, in about half of the cases, usually if significant damage has not formed in the loops and panel strips.


If there is no tuning for terrestrial or cable TV channels, you should make sure that the software is correct, as well as that the supply voltages on the Tuner outputs are consistent. It is also necessary to check with an oscilloscope the presence of pulses of data exchange between the tuner and the processor via the I2C bus.
Attention! Users and owners of T32ED07U-01B TVs who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience are strongly discouraged from trying to repair themselves in order to avoid negative consequences that can lead to the complete non-repairability of the device.


One of the typical THOMSON T32ED07U-01B malfunctions often occurs in the LC320DXE (SF) (R1) LED panel from LG.

External manifestations: no image, display backlight does not work. In most such cases, the LEDs are faulty, which, when checked, turn out to be either open-circuit or with broken internal zener diodes.


The LEDs need to be replaced, and the maximum current from the driver is limited to 10-20%.

Attention! The panel of the THOMSON T32ED07U-01B LED TV is an expensive and unreliable element.
Do not allow any impact on the glass and pressure on the screen surface to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe for liquid to spill onto the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it drips down the glass onto the cables to make the TV unrepairable.
