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 problems

- SAMSUNG UE65MU6400U 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.

The problem in such cases should be looked for in the circuits of the power supply BN44-00873B. Then you should measure its output voltages, and in case of their full or partial absence you should check the serviceability of the power switches (N-FET TO-220F) and the inverter rectifier diodes for possible short circuits.
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 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 (PFC) PFC, PWM, if there is no external damage and short circuit between pins, are checked by replacing with known good ones.

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

In such cases, it is most likely that the LED panel backlighting is defective. Usually the cause of the malfunction is in the breakage of LEDs, or in the connectors of the LED strips, but sometimes the LED driver is also defective.
Without a special current source to check the line of LEDs in series is impossible, and to use for this purpose, any voltage sources over 12v is not safe for them. Then you only have to open the panel and check each LED separately. Usually Chinese multimeters with 9V power supply will light up one 3 volt LED a bit if you connect the probes to it in forward direction, red probe to anode, black probe to cathode. For twin 6-volt LEDs the PN junction of its faulty regulator can be a good indicator. If the LED is faulty, its regulator will either be open or shorted.

- LED on the front panel is blinking, the TV set does not turn on in the working mode, the remote control is unresponsive.

Repair or diagnostic of the motherboard BN41-02568B should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (firmware). When repairing MB board, its components SDP1601, KLM4G1FEPD, 25Q40CLSIP, 25Q80DVSIG, TAS5749M should be checked. 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 the SAMSUNG UE65MU6400U has no picture but has sound, often the CY-KM065HGAV1V display backlight simply does not work. Moreover, in LED TVs usually fail LEDs inside the panel, less often the LED-driver.
In such cases you can see faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the LCD panel CY-KM065HGAV1V - a process which 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

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 BN41-02568B is defective and so is the software.
Then first it is necessary to check the panel power supply voltage, 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 by oscilloscope the LVDS signals from MainBoard BN41-02568B, as well as synchronizing signals to the driver stubs.

The screens of LED TVs that are flooded or poorly washed can be repaired in about half of the cases, usually if there is no significant damage to the cables and panel bars.

Before replacing the BN40-00331A tuner if there is no tuning to the channels it is necessary to check the software and the supply voltage on its pins. Also make sure that the tuner and the processor can communicate via the I2C bus.

Once again I remind the TV users: do not try to repair the TV without proper knowledge, experience and necessary qualification! Entrust the repair to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of repair of electronic equipment.
