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 LCD LED TV repair
Possible defects

- AKAI LES-32A64M does not turn on and does not show any signs of working at all. Does not flash the lights and does not respond to the control buttons.

First of all in such cases you should check the operability of the common switching power supply (PPS) - AC/DC mains voltage converter. All power supply elements in this TV model are located on the MainBoard TP.MS338E.PB803. It is necessary to measure the output voltages in its secondary circuits, and in case of their full absence you should check the serviceability of the power switches (TK5P65W 650V5.2A TO-252) and the rectifier diodes on the possible breakdown (short circuit).
If the semiconductors in the secondary circuits breakdown, the inverter can usually be short-circuited, and the mains fuse is often blown when the power elements in the primary circuit are shorted.
Mos-Fet switches used in switching power supplies usually fail due to the failure of other elements that can take it out of key mode, or cause it to exceed the maximum current or voltage. These may be the circuits feeding the PWM controller, the damping or frequency-retaining circuits, or the negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers OB2273 (PWM SOT23-6), if there are no external damages and short circuits between pins, are checked by replacing with known good ones.

- No picture, sound is present and all other TV functions work. When switching on, the picture can sometimes appear for a second.

Often in such cases there is no backlighting of the LED panel. Usually the cause of the fault is in the breakage of the LEDs, or in the connectors of the LED strips, but sometimes the LED-driver is also faulty.
It is better to use a power supply with a maximum voltage of 200V to check if the LEDs are working. It is not recommended to use any voltage sources for this purpose. You can check each LED individually with a simple Chinese multimeter (9 volt) in P-N junction test 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 is indirectly an indication of the functionality of the LED.

- The TV set doesn't turn on, the LED indicates standby or operation mode, or blinks.

Repair or diagnostic of the TP.MS338E.PB803 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (firmware). Complex repair of MB (SSB) is possible only in the conditions of the service center with the necessary equipment. Check or replacement of CPU: MSB102KT, eMMC: THGBMDG5D1LBAIL, SPI Flash: 25L4006E requires the necessary training and professional skills to repair modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technology can sometimes be diagnosed by the heating method.

If there is no TV channel reception, but the TV set is working properly from external devices, first of all you should check the CDT-9NT372 tuner supply voltage and update the software. It is necessary to check the I2C bus communication pulses with an oscilloscope.

If the AKAI LES-32A64M has no picture but has sound, often the HV320WHB-N5K 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 faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the HV320WHB-N5K LCD panel, a process that requires a master of experience and skill. 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

READ HOW TO REPAIR THE TV LED BACKLIGHT --------------> HERE.

If there is no image, but backlighting works - the screen becomes slightly lighter when the TV is turned 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 TP.MS338E.PB803 is also defective, so software defects are also possible.
Then first it is necessary to check the panel power supply voltage, the 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, you need to trace by oscilloscope the LVDS signals from MainBoard TP.MS338E.PB803, as well as synchronizing signals to driver stubs.

Filled or badly washed LED TV screens can be repaired in about half of the cases, usually, if there is no significant damage in the cables and panel bars.

Remember! Attempts to repair TV AKAI LES-32A64M by yourself, in the absence of the necessary skills and experience, is categorically not recommended and is fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete unrepairable device!

To reduce the backlight current from 290 mA to 230 mA you can remove the 1,6 Ohm resistor in the current sensor (E8303 assembly) on the TP.MS338E.PB803 board.

PWM SMPS in SOT-23-6, SOT-26, TSOP-6 packages

In the circuitry of modern switching power supplies (SMPS), PWM controllers made in small-sized planar packages with six terminals have gained wide popularity. The enclosure type designation can be SOT-23-6, SOT-23-6L, SOT-26, TSOP-6, SSOT-6. The appearance and arrangement of the pins are shown in the figure below. In this case, the code marking LD7530A is shown on the left fragment of the picture.


 

 Pin assignment:
1 - GND. (Common wire).
2 - FB. (FeedBack - Feedback). Input for controlling the duration of pulses with a signal from the output voltage. Sometimes it can be labeled COMP (input comparator).
3 - RI / RT / CT / COMP / NC - Depending on the type of microcircuit, it can be used for a frequency-setting RC circuit (RI / RT / CT), or for organizing protection, as an input of a PWM trip comparator at a threshold value at its input, specified in the document. In some types of microcircuits, this input may not be used in any way (NC - No Connect).
4 - SENSE, otherwise CS (Current Sense) - Input from the current sensor at the source of the key.
5 - VCC - Input voltage supply and start of the microcircuit.
6 - OUT (GATE) - Output for controlling the gate (Gate) of the key.

Functionally, these regulators work on the principle of the previously popular xx384x PWM microcircuits, which have proven themselves well in terms of reliability and stability.

Some difficulties often arise when replacing or choosing an analog for such PWM regulators due to the use of code markings in the designation of the type of microcircuits. The situation is complicated by a large number of component manufacturers who do not always provide documentation to the mass access, just as not all manufacturers of finished devices supply repair service centers with diagrams, so repairmen often have to study real circuit solutions by installed components and wiring connections directly on the board.

In practice, PWM microcircuits and the marking code EAxxx and Eaxxx are often found. Official documentation for them was not found in the public domain, but discussions on the forums and pieces of pictures from PDF from System General, which publishes them as SG6848T and SG6848T2, have survived. The drawing is here placed left .


 

For the attention of the masters, here below are PDF datasheet tables compiled from information available on the Internet and PDF documents for the selection of analogues types when replacing the most common six-legged planar PWM with pinout pins: pin1 - GND, pin2 - FB (COMP), pin4 - Sense, pin5 - Vcc, pin6 - OUT ...
Their main difference is the application and purpose of pin 3.

 PWM controllers that use pin 3 differently.

When using the following PWM (PWM controllers), you should pay attention to pin 3, which can be used to organize protection - thermal or from overvoltage of the input voltage.
The frequency can be fixed at 65kHz, or set by the value of the capacitor at pin 3.
When replacing any microcircuits with analogs, carefully study the documentation. PDF files are packed in a RAR archive.
