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

- SAMSUNG UE40NU7100U does not turn on, the indicators on the front panel are not lit or blinking. TV does not respond to the control buttons and remote control.

In such cases the problem should be looked for in the circuits of the power supply BN44-00947A. It is necessary to measure the output voltages in its secondary circuits, and in case of their complete absence check the serviceability of the power switches (N-FET TO-220F) and the rectifier diodes for possible breakdown (short circuit).
At breakdown of semiconductors in the secondary circuits of any converter, as a rule, it can operate in the short-circuit emergency mode without output voltages, and at short circuit in the elements of the primary circuit most often the line fuse and more rarely the current sensor at the source of the switch break down at once.
Mos-Fet switches used in switched-mode power supplies usually fail due to the failure of other elements, which 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 (PFC) PFC, PWM, if there is no external damage and short circuit between the pins, are checked by replacing with known good ones.

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

Often in such cases there is no backlight of LED panel. Often the reason is a failure of LEDs (breakage, short circuit...), or connectors of LM41-00550A, BN61-15481X, less often faulty is the LED-driver.
To detect breakage in the LED strips without disassembling the panel you will need a power source. Open transitions connected in series can not be done with a simple multimeter, you need a voltage of several tens of volts.

- Indicator is blinking or glowing all the time, TV set doesn't turn on, remote control doesn't respond.

Repair or diagnosis of the motherboard BN41-02635B should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, the software (software) should be updated or replaced. When repairing the MB board, you must check its components CPU, eMMC: KLM4G1FEPD, SPI 25Q40, EEPROM: 24C512, DRAM, AUDIO: TAS5749M. Defective elements should be replaced. If the chips with BGA soldering technology are used, the problem in its implementation is detected by the method of local heating of the chip.

If you suspect the BN40-00331A tuner malfunction, first of all make sure that the software is correct, as well as that the required supply voltages and pulses of data exchange with the CPU via the I2C bus are present at the respective pins of the tuner.

It is necessary to remember! Attempts to repair TV SAMSUNG UE40NU7100U by yourself, in the absence of the necessary skills and experience, is strongly not recommended and is fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete unrepairable device!

MainBoard Appearance

The main features of the SAMSUNG UE40NU7100U:

A matrix (LED panel) CY-NN040HGLV2V is installed.
To power the LED backlight the converter is used, combined with the power supply, controlled by the PWM controller BD94062F. As the power elements of LED-driver are used switches of TO-252 type.
The power supply module BN44-00947A or its analogues with the use of PFC, PWM chips and N-FET TO-220F type power keys form the necessary supply voltages for all the SAMSUNG UE40NU7100U TV assemblies.


MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a module BN41-02635B, using CPU chips, eMMC: KLM4G1FEPD, SPI 25Q40, EEPROM: 24C512, DRAM, AUDIO: TAS5749M and others.
The BN40-00331A tuner provides TV program reception and channel tuning.
