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.
Backlight driver current limitation. LC5910. General recommendations.

To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with the LC5910 step-down controller, you can increase the current sensor resistance at the source of the converter's power switch proportionally.

MainBoard Appearance

The main features of the LG 43UK6450PLC:

The matrix (LED panel) AC430DGG-SLEM1 is installed.
To power the backlight LEDs is used a converter, combined with the main board EAX67872805, controlled by a PWM controller LC5910. KF9N25 type switches are used as power elements of LED-driver.
 

 

 


Necessary supply voltages for all LG 43UK6450PLC TV nodes are generated by EAX67209001 power supply module or its analogues using PFC, PWM and TO-252 type power keys.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is EAX67872805 module, using CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC/DC and other chips.
The TDJA-G601D tuner provides TV program reception and channel tuning.
