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 manifestations of defects

- TV SONY KDL-50WF665 does not turn on at all. No response to the remote control and front panel control buttons. Indicator lamps do not light up or flash.

With such manifestations, the adapter power supply usually fails.
An external power supply Adapter 19.5V AC / DC ACDP-160 can be purchased by the owner of the TV on his own, and its repair is not always advisable, but sometimes it makes sense to open it and eliminate simple defects typical for SMPS. Then we recommend measuring its output voltages and, if they are absent, you should check the serviceability of the power switches and rectifier diodes of the converters for a possible short circuit.
In case of any breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually operate normally in an emergency short circuit mode. There are no output voltages. And with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, as a rule, the mains fuse breaks and, less often, the current sensor in the source of the key.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements that can disable it in key mode, or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage values. These can be circuits supplying a PWM controller, damper or frequency setting circuits, or OOS (negative feedback) elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers (PWM), in the absence of external damage and a short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with a known good one.

- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image may appear for a second when turned on and immediately disappear.

Usually, in such cases, there is no backlighting of the LED panel (matrix). The reason may be found in a malfunction of the LEDs, in a violation of the contact connections of the LM41-00541A LED strips, or in the provision of their power supply (LED driver).
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. Typically, Chinese multimeters lightly light up 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 indicator blinks or is on constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.

Repair or diagnostics of the 1-982-629-11 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). When repairing an MB board, you need to check its CPU components: MT5581SSEJ. Defective elements must be replaced. If chips with BGA soldering technology are used, the problem in its implementation is detected by local heating of the chip.

Before replacing the tuner CE251ZP, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its outputs. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus

We remind users again! Attempts to self-repair the SONY KDL-50WF665 TV without the appropriate qualifications and necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

Attention! The panel V500HJ4-Q01 of the SONY KDL-50WF665 LED TV is the most expensive item.
Avoid impacts on the glass and excessive pressure on the screen surface to avoid damage to the LED panel!


It is unsafe for any liquid to spill on the screen. Sometimes one drop of water is enough, if it flows down the glass onto the plumes, the TV may become unrepairable (IDIOTS WASHING THE DUMB SCREEN ARE ADVISED !! !! !!).
