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 LED repair
Possible manifestations of defects

- LG 32LH590U does not turn on, indicators on the front panel are not lit or blinking. The TV does not respond to the control buttons and the remote control.

With such manifestations, the adapter power supply usually fails.
The owner of the TV can purchase an external power supply Adapter 19V on his own, and its repair is not always advisable, but sometimes it makes sense to open it and eliminate simple defects typical of the SMPS. Then we recommend measuring its output voltages and, if they are absent, you should check the serviceability of the power switches and 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.
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, in the absence of visible damage or outright short circuits between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with new ones, or knowingly working properly.

- There is no picture, but there is sound and reaction to commands from the remote control. Or the image appears immediately after switching on and disappears.

The most likely problem in these cases is a malfunction of the LED backlight. The reason may be in the breakage of the backlight LEDs, in the stabilization of their power supply, or in the violation of the contact connections of the strings 15.5Y 32INCH A-TYPE REV0.0 160323.
It is impossible to identify an open circuit in the LED line without disassembling the panel with a simple multimeter. The LEDs are connected in series and a voltage of several tens of volts is required to open their junctions. Ideally, a current source is suitable for such purposes. You can open the panel and check each LED separately. Usually, Chinese multimeters lightly light one 3-volt LED if you connect the probes to it in the forward direction (red probe to the anode, black to the cathode). For dual 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its emergency zener diode can serve as an indicator of LED health. In the event of a malfunction of the LED, its zener diode will either be cut off, or broken through in the K / Z.

If LG 32LH590U has no picture, but there is sound, often the HC320DXN-VSVS1-511X 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 when the external light hits the screen.

Replacing the LEDs requires disassembling the HC320DXN-VSVS1-511X LCD panel - a process that requires experience and qualifications from the master. I do not recommend doing such work on your own to TV owners 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 the 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 the main board MainBoard EAX66853404 often turns out to be faulty, a software failure is also possible.
Then, first of all, you need 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 the normal range, it is necessary to trace the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard EAX66853404 with an oscilloscope, as well as synchronizing 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.

- 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 EAX66853404 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 EEPROM chips: 24C256 and other possible faulty components. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies are usually easily diagnosed by the warm-up method.

Before replacing the tuner TDJM-G301D EBL61741401, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its outputs. You also need to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus

Attention! Users and owners of 32LH590U TVs who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience are strongly discouraged from attempting to repair themselves in order to avoid negative consequences that may lead to complete non-repairability of the device.

Driver current limiting after backlight repair. Information from the master.

Reduce the backlight current from 400 mA to 280 mA - replaced the resistor R614 at the ISET MP3378E control input pin 3. Set the nominal value to 10 kOhm.
Driver current limitation. MP3378E. general information

To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with the MP3378E PWM controller, it is necessary to proportionally increase the total resistance of the resistors from pin 3 (ISET) to the case. Calculation of current in milliamperes and resistance in kilo-ohms 977 / Rset for each channel. Parallel channels are summed. For example, for four parallel channels and a RISET 10 KOhm resistance, the total current will be 97.7 * 4 = 391 mA.

General recommendations for LCD LED TV repair
Possible defects

- LG 43UF640V TV does not turn on at all. No reaction to remote control and front panel control buttons. Indicator lights are not lit or blinking.

Often in such cases the power module EAX66472001 is defective. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in case of their absence (full or partial), check the condition of the power switches (TO-220, TO252) of the converters and the rectifier diodes for possible short circuits.
If there is a breakdown in the secondary circuits of the converter, it can usually fail in the short-circuit mode, and if there is a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, most often the line fuse or the current sensor at the source of the key breaks.
Mos-Fet power switches used in switching power supplies sometimes fail due to the failure of some other element that can take it out of key mode, or cause the switch to exceed its maximum allowable parameters. These can be the elements that feed the PWM controller, the frequency or damping circuits, or the negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. PFC, PWM controllers, if there is no visible damage or outright short circuits between pins, are checked by replacing with new or known good ones.

- No image, screen is black, there is sound, with external screen illumination sometimes you can see faintly visible outlines of the image.

In such cases, the most likely faulty elements of LED panel backlight. The cause may be in the breakage of backlight LEDs, in their power supply stabilization, or in the violation of the contact connections of UF64_UHD_A 43INCH string connectors.
When diagnosing you should take into account that it is impossible to check the breakage in the circuit of the LED strings without disassembling the panel, using a tester or multimeter. To open all the PN-junctions connected in series, you will need a voltage of about several tens of volts, and ideally - a current source. After opening the panel, you can check each LED separately. Typically, Chinese multimeters will light up a single 3 volt LED slightly if you connect the probes to it in a forward direction. For twin 6 volt LEDs, the PN junction of its fault stabilizer can be a good indicator. If the LED is faulty, it will either be broken or shorted.

If LG 43UF640V has no picture, but there is sound, often the HC430DGG-SLNX1 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 when the external light hits the screen.

Replacing the LEDs requires disassembling the HC430DGG-SLNX1 LCD panel - a process that requires experience and qualifications from the master. We do not recommend doing such work on your own to TV owners 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 the 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 the main board MainBoard EAX66485504 (1.0) often turns out to be faulty, a software failure is also possible.

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


- The TV set will not turn on, the LED will indicate standby or operation mode, or it will blink.

Repair or diagnosis of the motherboard EAX66485504 should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, software (software) should be updated or replaced. In some cases to repair the MB board (SSB) you may need to replace the chips - CPU, eMMC, DRAM, DC/DC, AUDIO with new or known good ones. In cases where BGA technology is used, the defects are usually localized by the heating method.

Before you replace the TDJM-G301D EBL61560001 tuner if there is no tuning to the channels you should first check the software and the supply voltage on its outputs. Also you have to check the data exchange between the tuner and the processor via the I2C bus.

Please remember! Attempts to repair LG 43UF640V TV-set by yourself, in the absence of the necessary skills and experience are strongly not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete unusable device!

Driver current limit after backlight replacement. Information from the master.

You can reduce backlight current from 480 mA to 245 mA by removing one of each pair of low resistance current sensor resistors at the source of the converter keys (R811+R812 and R829+R830) on the EAX66472001 board.

General advice about LCD LED TV repair
Possible malfunctions

- LG 43UK6450PLC TV does not turn on. There are no indications of operation. The indicators on the front panel are not lit or blinking, the TV does not respond to the control buttons.

In such cases the main problem is the power supply module EAX67209001. If there are no necessary supply voltages in the converters secondary circuits, check the power switches (TO-252) and rectifier diodes for possible partial or complete breakdown.
If there is a breakdown in the secondary circuits, the inverter can usually be short-circuited, and a short in the power elements of the primary circuit will usually blow the mains fuse.
Mos-Fet power switches used in switching power supplies sometimes fail due to the failure of any other elements that can take it out of key mode, or create an exceedance of the maximum allowable parameters of the switch. These can be the elements that feed the PWM controller, the frequency or damping circuits, or the negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. PFC, PWM controllers, if there is no visible damage or outright short circuits between pins, are checked by replacing with new or known good ones.

- No picture, sound is present, and the remote control responds. Or the image can appear for a second and then disappear at once.

Often in such cases there is no backlighting of the LED panel. Often the reason is a faulty LED (breakage, short circuit...), or connectors of strips LC43490086A, less often faulty is the LED-driver.
To check the LED strips for breakage without disassembling the panel can help, for example, a power source. It is not possible to open the series connected PN-junctions with a simple multimeter, you will need a voltage of about several tens of volts.

- Indicator blinks or lights constantly, the TV set doesn't turn on, the remote doesn't respond.

Repair or diagnostic of motherboard EAX67872805 should be started with checking stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, software (software) should be updated or replaced. In cases of complicated MB (SSB) repairs and with the necessary skills and equipment it may sometimes be necessary to replace its CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC/DC chips and other possible defective components. BGA soldering problems are usually easy to diagnose with the heating method.

Before replacing the TDJA-G601D tuner if there is no tuning to the channels you must first check the software and the power supply voltages on its outputs. Also make sure that the tuner and the processor can communicate via the I2C bus.

Warning. I strongly recommend for the users and owners of TV sets 43UK6450PLC, having no qualification, knowledge and experience not to try to do the repair works themselves in order to avoid the negative consequences which can lead to the complete uselessness of the device.

Restriction of the driver current after the replacement of the backlighting strips (violet glow, phosphor crumbling). Wizard's comments.

You can reduce the backlight current from 660 mA to 380 mA by replacing the 0.8 Ohm current sense resistor with a 1.2 Ohm current sense resistor at the source of the switch.

General advice about LCD LED TV repair
Possible malfunctions

- LG 55LJ540V TV does not turn on at all. Control lights are not glowing or blinking. TV does not respond to remote control and control panel buttons.

In some cases, the power module 168P-L6R021-W2 is defective. Then it is recommended to measure its output voltages, and in case of their absence you should check the serviceability of the power switches (TO-220) and the rectifier diodes of the converters for possible short circuit.
Any breakdowns in the secondary circuits may cause the inverter to operate in a short-circuit emergency mode, and shorting in the primary circuit power elements is more likely to cause the line fuse or current sensor at the source of the switch to blow.
Mos-Fet power switches used in switching power supplies sometimes fail due to the failure of some other element that can take it out of key mode, or cause the switch to exceed its maximum allowable parameters. These can be the elements that feed the PWM controller, the frequency or damping circuits, or the negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. PFC, PWM controllers, if there is no visible damage or outright short circuits between pins, are checked by replacing with new or known good ones.

- No picture, sound is present, the remote control responds, the channels are switched. In some cases the picture appears when you switch on and immediately disappears.

Usually in such cases there is no backlighting of the LED panel (matrix). More often the reason for this is a breakage of LEDs, or poor contact in the connectors of boards, less often faulty may be the LED-driver.
Remember that to determine the breakage in the LED lines without disassembling the panel, with a tester or multimeter is not possible without an additional device, such as a current source. To open all the PN-junctions connected in series at once a voltage of several tens of volts may be required. Then you have to open the panel and check each LED separately with a multimeter. If the capabilities of your multimeter do not allow to open the LED in the forward direction or twin LEd's are used, then the PN junction of the faulty stabilizer can indirectly serve as an indication of serviceability. If the LED is faulty, the PN junction of the stabilizer will either be open or short-circuited.

- The TV set does not enter the operation mode, the remote control is not responding. Front panel LED is either on continuously or is blinking.

Repair or diagnostic of motherboard EAX671296041 should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, software (software) should be updated or replaced. If you try to repair the MB board (SSB), it is necessary to check the condition of its elements - CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC/DC, which may need to be replaced with new ones. If there is a BGA processor, there is a possibility of a breach of solder contacts with the board (this can be diagnosed by warming up).

If the LG 55LJ540V has no picture but has sound, often the display backlight of the SDL550FY(CD0-901) is just not working. And, in LED TVs, the LEDs inside the panel usually fail, less often the LED driver.
In such cases you can see faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the LCD panel SDL550FY(CD0-901) - a process which requires the master of experience and expertise. We do not recommend to perform such works by yourself to owners of TV sets and craftsmen who have no experience in LCD-panel repair

If there is no image, but backlighting works - the screen becomes slightly lighter when the TV is switched on, and in the open TV you can see the light through the holes in the body of the panel.
In this case the panel may be defective - damage to the strips, cables, for example, as a consequence of moisture after an unsuccessful washing of the screen, the T-CON board (Timing Controller) may be defective. But quite often the MainBoard EAX671296041 is defective as well, software failure is also possible.
Then first it is necessary to check the panel power 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 LVDS signals from MainBoard EAX671296041, as well as synchronizing signals to driver stubs with oscilloscope.

Filled or unsuccessfully washed LED TV screens can be restored in about half of the cases, usually if there is no significant damage to the panel's stubs and slats.


If the TV set works normally from external devices, but does not tune to the TV channels, the TDJA-Q501D tuner might be malfunctioning. In these cases you should first make sure that there is power to the corresponding pins of the tuner. Also make sure that the tuner and the processor can communicate via the I2C bus. Sometimes a software malfunction can be the cause of the malfunction.

Owners of a 55LJ540V television set should seek the assistance of a qualified technician with the necessary experience to perform the necessary repairs! Attempting to do it yourself without the necessary knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!

Current limitation after backlight repair. Information from the master.

To reduce backlight current from 500mA to 320mA you can remove the resistors R119 2.7 Ohm and R120 3.0 Ohm in the driver current sensor on the 168P-L6R021-W2 power supply board.

General recommendations for LCD LED TV repair
Possible Manifestations of Defects

- LG 55UK6200PLA does not turn on, the indicators on the front panel are not lit or blinking. TV on the control buttons and remote does not respond.

With such manifestations usually fails power module EAX67872805. In the absence of the necessary supply voltages in the secondary circuits of the converters, you must check the power switches (TO-252) and rectifier diodes for possible partial or complete breakdown.
If the diodes in the secondary circuits breakdown, the inverter can operate in the emergency short-circuit mode without output voltages, and if the power elements in the primary circuit are shorted, the mains fuse and/or the current sensor at the source of the key usually break down.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulse sources is sometimes caused by faults in other circuit elements, e.g. in the circuits supplying the PWM controller, frequency-retaining or damping circuits, as well as in the Negative Feedback Stabilization (NFRS) circuits. PWM regulators (PFC) PFC, PWM, if they do not have visible case damage and outright short circuit between pins, are usually checked by replacement.

- No picture, sound is present, the remote control responds, the channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when you turn on and immediately disappears.

In some of these cases, the fault is caused by the lack of backlighting of the display. Often the cause is a faulty LED (breakage, short circuit...), or connectors of ARRAY_REV0.0_180628_3PCM00796A strips, less often faulty is the LED-driver.
It is better to use a power supply with a maximum voltage of 200V to check the condition of the LED circuit. It is not recommended to use any voltage source for this purpose. You can check each LED individually with a simple Chinese multimeter (9 volt) in P-N junction mode. If you connect the red probe of the multimeter to the anode of the LED and the black to its cathode, then the 3 volt LED will light up slightly and in the opposite direction you will find the faulty junction of the stabilizer. The functionality of the PN junction of the stabilizing diode is indirectly an indication of the functionality of the LED.

- LED blinks or lights constantly, TV set does not turn on, remote control is unresponsive.

Repair or diagnostic of motherboard EAX67872805 should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, software (software) should be updated or replaced. If you try to repair the MB board (SSB), it is necessary to check the functionality of its elements - CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC/DC that may need to be replaced with new ones. If you have a BGA processor, there is a possibility that the solder contacts of the BGA processor may be broken with the board (this can be done by warming it up).

Before replacing the TDJA-G601D tuner, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must first check the software and the power supply voltage on its outputs. Also you need to check if the tuner and the CPU can communicate through the I2C bus.

Warning to the users! Independent repair of LG 55UK6200PLA TV without the relevant qualification and necessary experience can lead to its complete unrepairability!

General advice for LCD LED TV repair
Possible defects

- SAMSUNG UE50F5000 TV does not turn on, does not respond to remote and control panel buttons, does not glow or blink indicators.

The power module BN44-00612A usually fails with these manifestations. If there are no necessary supply voltages in inverter secondary circuits, it is necessary to check power switches (TO-220, TO252) and rectifier diodes for possible partial or complete breakdown.
In case of diode breakdown in the secondary circuits, the inverter may operate in the emergency short-circuit mode without output voltages, and in case of short-circuits in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and/or the current sensor in the source of the key are usually blown.
The breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in switching supplies is sometimes caused by faults in other circuit elements, e.g. in the circuits supplying the PWM controller, the frequency pickup or damping circuits, as well as in the negative feedback (NF) stabilisation circuits. PWM regulators (PWM) Stb, PFC, PWM, unless they have visible housing damage and outright short circuits between pins, are usually checked by replacement.

- There is no picture, but there is sound and all other TV functions work. The picture sometimes appears for a second immediately after switching on and then disappears.

The fault in these cases is usually most likely in the backlighting nodes of the display matrix. Usually the cause of the fault is a breakage in the LEDs or in the connectors of the LED strips, but sometimes the LED driver is also faulty.
To check the LED circuit, it is best to use a power supply with a maximum voltage of 200V. It is not recommended to use any voltage source for this purpose. You can check each LED individually with a simple Chinese multimeter (9 volt) in P-N junction mode. If you connect the red probe of the multimeter to the anode of the LED and the black probe to its cathode, the 3 V LED will light up slightly and in the opposite direction you can find the junction of the faulty regulator. The functionality of the PN junction is indirectly an indication of the functionality of the LED.

If the SAMSUNG UE50F5000 has no picture but has sound, often the T500HVF02.5 display backlight is simply not working. Moreover, in LED TVs the LEDs inside the panel usually fail, more rarely the LED driver.
In such cases, you may see a faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

Replacing the LEDs requires disassembly of the T500HVF02.5 LCD panel and this process requires a lot of experience and expertise. Do not attempt this procedure yourself; it is not recommended for TV owners or craftsmen without experience in LCD panel repair

If there is no image, but backlighting works - the screen becomes slightly lighter when the TV is switched on and you can see the light through the holes in the panel body when the TV is open.
In this case the panel may be defective - damage to the boards, cables, for example, as a consequence of moisture after an unsuccessful washing of the screen, the T-CON board (Timing Controller) may be defective. But quite often the MainBoard BN41-01955A is defective, software defects are also possible.
The first thing to check is the panel supply voltage, the fuses on the T-CON board, and the supply and reference voltages of the column and line drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If the measurements are within normal limits, you need to trace with an oscilloscope the LVDS signals from MainBoard BN41-01955A, as well as synchronizing signals to the driver stubs.

Flooded or badly washed LED TV screens can be repaired in about half of the cases, usually if there is no significant damage to the panel stubs and strips.

- Front panel LED is blinking, TV set does not switch into operation, remote control is unresponsive.

Repair or diagnostic of motherboard BN41-01955A should be started with checking stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, the software (firmware) should be updated or replaced. In some cases to repair MB board (SSB) you may need to replace CPU: SEMS29, SPI Flash: W25Q40BL, EEPROM: 24C256C, SOUND: NTP7412S with new or known good ones. In cases of BGA technology, defects are usually located by heating.

Before replacing the BN40-00256A tuner, if it is not possible to tune to TV channels, make sure that the supply voltages are available, which should be measured at the respective pins of the tuner and the software should be checked for correctness. The communication pulses between the tuner and the processor can be checked with an oscilloscope.

I recommend for UE50F5000 TV owners to apply only to the qualified and experienced technicians for any repairs! Attempts to repair without proper knowledge and skills can lead to irreparable negative consequences!

General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible manifestations of malfunctions
- TV SAMSUNG UE43RU7170U does not turn on and does not show any signs of operability at all. No response to the remote control and front panel control buttons.
In such cases, the BN44-00947G power supply usually fails. It is necessary to make sure that its output voltages are present and, if they are completely absent, check the power switches (TO-220, TO252) and rectifier diodes 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.
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 controllers (PWM) PFC, PWM, if they do not have visible damage to the case and an outright short circuit between the pins, are usually checked by replacing.
- There is no picture, but there is sound and reaction to the remote control. Or, for a second, the image may appear immediately after switching on.
Often in such cases, there is no backlighting of the LED panel. The reason may be in the breakage of the backlight LEDs, in the stabilization of their power supply, or in the violation of the contact connections of the BN61-15482A string connectors.
When diagnosing, it must be borne in mind that it is impossible to check for an open in the circuit of the LED lines without disassembling the panels using a tester or multimeter. To open all PN junctions connected in series, a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required, and ideally a current source. By opening the panel, you can check each LED separately. Typically, Chinese multimeters will lightly light one 3-volt LED if you connect the probes to it in the forward direction. For dual 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its emergency zener diode can serve as an indicator of LED health. In the event of a malfunction of the LED, its zener diode will either be cut off, or broken through in the SC.
- The TV does not go into operation, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator on the front panel is on or blinking.


Repair or diagnostics of the BN41-02703A 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). Sometimes it is necessary to check or replace (if necessary) the elements of the MainBoard - CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC / DC. In cases where a BGA processor is used, its malfunction is usually detected by the local warm-up method.
In cases where 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 terminals of the BN40-00331B tuner match. 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.
Once again, I remind TV users: you should not try to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repair to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of electronic repair.


Modification of the LED driver after the backlight repair. Information from the master.


Decrease the backlight current from 350 mA 230 mA - increase the resistance of the resistor R9873 (current sensor), in series with the standard 1.0 Ohm, by soldering one pin, you can solder 0.47 Ohm in the BN44-00947G power supply.
Backlight driver current limiting. BD94062F. General recommendations
To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with the BD94062F controller, you should proportionally increase the resistance of the measuring low-resistance current sensor resistor in the source of the converter IC.
