REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

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 TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions

- TV SAMSUNG UE55RU7120 does not turn on and does not show any signs of turning on, does not respond to control buttons and to the remote control.

In some of these cases, the main switching power supply, the BN44-00932Q module, is faulty. It is necessary to measure the output voltages in its secondary circuits, and if they are completely absent, the serviceability of the power switches (TO-252, TO-220F) and rectifying diodes should be checked for a possible breakdown (short circuit).
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter, as a rule, can operate in an emergency in the short-circuit mode, and in the event of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse usually breaks 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 a PWM controller, in frequency setting or damper circuits, as well as in negative feedback stabilization. PWM microcircuits (PWM) PFC SO-8, PWM SO-16 are usually checked by replacing them with new ones, or knowingly working.

- There is no picture, but there is sound and all other functions work. Sometimes when you turn it on, the image appears and disappears for a second.

Usually, in such cases, there is no backlighting of the LED panel (matrix). The reason may be in the breakage of the backlight LEDs, in the stabilization of their power supply, or in the violation of the contact connections of the AOT_55_NU7100_2X40_3030C strings connectors.
To identify an open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panel, a current source is required. It is impossible to open the junctions connected in series with a simple multimeter; a voltage of several tens of volts is required.

- 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 BN41-02703A motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the serviceability of its elements - CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC / DC which may need to be replaced with new ones. If a BGA processor is installed, there is a possibility of a violation of the soldering of the contacts of its pins with the board (detected by warming up).

Before changing the tuner BN40-00331B, 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

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

Main features of the SAMSUNG UE55RU7120 device:

Installed matrix (LED panel) CY-NN055HGLV2H.
Matrix control uses the PFC Timing Controller (T-CON).
A converter combined with a power supply is used to power the backlight LEDs, and is controlled by the SO-16 Step-Down PWM controller. TO-252 switches are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG UE55RU7120 TV is carried out by the BN44-00932Q power module, or its analogs using PFC SO-8, PWM SO-16 microcircuits and TO-252, TO-220F power switches.

MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a BN41-02703A module, using CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC / DC chips and others.
The BN40-00331B tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

Attention! Panel CY-NN055HGLV2H of SAMSUNG UE55RU7120U LED TV 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. (SO YOU'RE BETTER, WITH YOUR COLA, FAR AWAY FROM YOUR GARBAGE TV !!)
