General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible manifestations of defects

- LG 29MT45V does not turn on, indicators on the front panel do not light or flash. The TV does not respond to the control buttons and the remote control.

With such manifestations, the malfunction is most likely found in the adapter power module.
The TV is equipped with an external adapter 19V 2.4A power supply. TV owners can check by replacing them and purchase them on their own in stores, but the ability to open and eliminate typical defects usually does not create difficulties for the master. It is then necessary to measure its output voltages and, if they are absent, the power switches and rectifier diodes of the converters should be checked for the probability of a short circuit.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in short-circuit mode, and in case of short-circuit in the elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse is usually cut off.
Breakdown of Mos-Fet switches used in switching power supplies is often caused by malfunctions of other elements, for example, in the power supply circuit of the PWM regulator, in frequency setting or damper circuits, as well as in negative feedback stabilization. PWM microcircuits (PWM) are usually checked by replacing them with new ones, or knowingly working.

- There is no image, the screen is black, there is sound, sometimes you can see barely noticeable outlines of the image in the ambient light of the screen.

In such cases, a malfunction of the LED panel backlighting elements is most likely. The reason can sometimes be in the power supply of the LEDs, but more often in their malfunction (breakdown or open circuit), sometimes in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips V290B1-LE2-TLEM4 6202B0005U000.
It is impossible to detect 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 the LED health. In the event of a malfunction of the LED, its zener diode will either be cut off or pierced in the K / Z.

- 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 EAX65377507 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 chips LGE2134, AT24C256C, MX25L8006E, H27U1G8F2CTR-BC, BA7657F, TAS5733 and other possible faulty components. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies are usually easily diagnosed by the warm-up method.

Before changing the tuner TDJM-G101D, if it is not possible to tune to television channels, you should make sure that there are supply voltages, which must be measured at the corresponding terminals of the tuner and check the software for correctness. The pulses of data exchange between the tuner and the processor can be monitored with an oscilloscope

If the LG 29MT45V has no picture, but there is sound, the backlight of the V290BJ1-LE2 display often 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 V290BJ1-LE2 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 light 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 EAX65377507 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 the normal range, it is necessary to trace the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard EAX65377507 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.

Once again, I remind TV users: do not try to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repairs to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of electronic repair.

Driver current limitation after backlight repair. DT1641AS. Information from the master.

Decrease the backlight current from 166mA to 106mA - replaced the R1024 3 kOhm resistor by 22 kOhm at the RISET DT1641AS control input (7 pin).
Driver current limitation. DT1641. General recommendations

To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with a DT1641AS (DT1641S) controller, you can increase the total resistance of the resistors from pin 7 (RISET) to the case. The exact proportional dependence may not be observed in the presence of additional control on this input, then the ratings should be selected empirically.

Attention! Panel V290BJ1-LE2 LED-TV LG 29MT45V 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.
