General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions
- THOMSON T32ED13DU 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 40-MT31BP-MAA2LG power supply usually fails. Then we recommend measuring its output voltages and, if they are absent, you should check the serviceability of the power switches (4N65) and the rectifier diodes of the converters for a possible 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.
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) LD7536 (PWM SOT23-6), if they have no visible damage to the case and an open short circuit between the pins, are usually checked by replacing.
- 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.
In some of these cases, the malfunction is caused by the lack of display backlighting. The reason may be both in the power supply of the LEDs, in their serviceability (breakdown or breakage), as well as in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips.
To check the health of the LED circuit, it is better to use a current source with a maximum voltage of 200V. We do not recommend using any voltage sources for this purpose. You can check each LED separately with a simple Chinese multimeter (powered by 9 volts) in the P-N transition test mode. If you connect the red probe of the multimeter to the anode of the LED, and the black one to its cathode, then the 3-volt LED will light up slightly, and in the opposite direction you can detect the transition of the emergency zener diode. The serviceability of the PN junction of the Zener diode indirectly indicates the serviceability of the LED-a
- 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 40-MT31BP-MAA2LG 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 cases of complex MB (SSB) repairs and with the necessary skills and equipment, it may sometimes be necessary to replace its CPU chips: MT5531NDNT 1429-BCAH, SPI Flash: 25Q64F, SOUND: MP3398A and other possible faulty components. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies are usually easily diagnosed by the warm-up method.

 If THOMSON T32ED13DU does not have an image, 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 the TV operates normally from external devices, but does not tune to TV channels, the ST34WN-2T-E 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.
Attention to TV owners! Attempts to repair THOMSON T32ED13DU on your own are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

Attention! The panel of the THOMSON T32ED13DU 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.
