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!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions

- The LG 22LN457U TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, does not light or blink indicators.

Most often, with similar manifestations, the main adapter power module turns out to be faulty.
The power source in this model is an external Adapter 19V 2.1A, usually the owners of TVs can purchase them on their own, and their repair may be impractical. But sometimes it is not difficult to open the unit and eliminate simple typical defects characteristic of most SMPS. It is necessary to measure its secondary output voltages, and if they are absent, check the power switches and rectifier diodes in the converters for a short circuit.
In case of diode breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in an emergency mode of short circuit without output voltages, and with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and / or the current sensor in the source of the key usually breaks off.
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 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 such cases, the most likely malfunction of the LED panel backlighting elements. Most often the reason for this is a break in the LEDs, or poor contact in the connectors of the brackets, less often the LED driver may be faulty.
When trying to detect a break in the LED lines, it should be borne in mind that it is difficult to do this without disassembling the panel. For example, a current source is required to open PN junctions connected in series.

If the LG 22LN457U has no picture, but there is sound, often the LCD backlight LC216EXN (SF) (A1) 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 LC216EXN LCD panel, a process that requires experience and qualifications from the technician. 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, light is visible through the holes in the panel case.
In this case, the panel may also be faulty - damage to 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 EAX65077504 (1.0) often turns out to be faulty, a software failure is also possible.
Then, first of all, you need to check the panel 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, it is necessary to trace the passage of LVDS signals from MainBoard EAX65077504 (1.0) with an oscilloscope, as well as synchronizing signals to 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 indicator blinks or is on constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.

Repair or diagnostics of the EAX65077504 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 some cases, to repair the MB (SSB) board, it may be necessary to replace the chips - CPU: LGE2121-MS, SPI Flash: MX25L8005, DRAM: H5TQ1G63EFR, Audio: TNP7513 with new or known good ones. In cases where BGA technologies are used, defects are usually localized by heating.

If there is no reception of television channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all, you need to check the supply voltage of the TDSQ-G601D tuner (B) and update the software. I2C communication pulses must be monitored with an oscilloscope.

Remember! Attempts to self-repair the LG 22LN457U TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!

General recommendations

To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with a BD9472EFV controller on the T-CON board, you can increase the total resistance of the resistors from pin 23 (ISET) of the BD9472EFV to the case. The exact proportional relationship may not be observed, the values ​​should be selected empirically.

BD9472EFV LED-Driver, T-CON 6870S-1619B LC216EXN_SFA1:



In LED drivers with a BD9472EFV chip on the T-CON bar, you can increase the total resistance of the resistors from pin 23 (ISET) of the BD9472EFV to the case. The exact proportional relationship may not be observed, the values should be selected empirically.
The drawing was compiled by hand visually from the T-CON bar, there was no documentation for the BD9472EFV on the Internet.
For the LC216EXN (SF) (A1) panel and 6916L-1237A backlight bar, the current was initially 70 mA in each of the two channels at maximum (a few seconds after switching on without a signal).
After increasing one of the resistors from 91 kOhm to 160 kOhm, the current decreased to 50 mA.
Diodes of standard size 7020, double, but the transitions are connected in parallel inside, therefore - three-volt.
There are 28 LEDs on the bar - two channels of 14 each.

Attention! Panel LC216EXN LED-TV LG 22LN457U 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.
