General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions
- TV SONY KDL-55EX720 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.
Most likely, in this case, the main switching power supply (SMPS) APS-299 is faulty. Then we recommend measuring its output voltages and, if they are absent, you should check the serviceability of the power switches (N-FET TO-220F) and the rectifier diodes of the converters for a possible short circuit.
In case of diode breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in an emergency mode of short circuit without output voltages, and with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and / or the current sensor in the source of the key usually breaks off.
Mos-Fet power switches used in switching power supplies sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can disable it in the key mode, or create an excess of the maximum permissible key parameters. These can be elements supplying a PWM regulator, frequency setting or damper circuits, or elements of negative feedback in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers CXA3811M, CXA3799AM, MIP2H2, in the absence of visible damage or outright short circuits between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with new ones, or known to be working properly.
- 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.
Most likely in these cases is a malfunction of the LED panel backlight. Often the cause of a malfunction is a lack of current in the LED circuit, for example, their open or short circuit, or a violation of the contact connections of the connectors of the strips.
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 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 broken through in the K / Z.
In cases where the SONY KDL-55EX720 does not have an image, but there is sound, the display backlight often does not work.
In LED TVs, the LEDs inside the LTY550HJ03 panel are usually faulty, and less often the LED driver.
Without backlighting, sometimes you can see a barely noticeable image with a certain successful hit of external light on the screen.
Replacing the LEDs requires disassembling the LTY550HJ03 panel. We do not recommend such works on their own to TV owners and craftsmen who do not have experience in repairing LCD panels, especially at home.
If there is no image, and the backlight is on, the screen becomes slightly lighter when turned on, and on an open TV, the light is visible through the holes in the panel case.
In this case, the T-CON (Timing Controller) board may be defective, but often the MainBoard 1-883-753-32 is also defective. A software failure is also possible. The panel can also be faulty - damage to strips, loops, for example, after moisture. In such cases, first of all, it is necessary to check the panel supply voltage at the LVDS connector, fuses on the T-CON board or panel brackets, as well as supply and reference voltages for column and line drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If they are within the normal range, then the oscilloscope must track the passage of LVDS signals from MainBoard 1-883-753-32, as well as synchronization signals to the loops with drivers.
Flooded screens of LED TVs can sometimes be restored if significant damage has not formed in the loops and on the panel trims.
- 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 1-883-753-93 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 some cases, to repair the MB (SSB) board, it may be necessary to replace the chips - CXD4727GB, K4B2G1646C-HCH9, SIL9287BCNU, GL850G with new or known good ones. In cases where BGA technologies are used, defects are usually localized by heating.
If there is no tuning to channels of terrestrial or cable television, you should make sure that the software is correct, as well as in accordance with the ratings of the supply voltages at the NoName tuner outputs. It is also necessary to check with an oscilloscope the presence of pulses of data exchange between the tuner and the processor via the I2C bus.
Attention to TV owners! Attempts to repair SONY KDL-55EX720 yourself are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

Revision after repair of the backlight. BD9276EFV in LED driver 1-883-300-11. Information from the master.
In the driver current sensors on the board 1-883-300-11, from pins 26, 28, 30, 32 of the BD9276EFV microcircuit, two 3.3 Ohm resistors per channel are installed in parallel on the case.
Reducing the backlight current from 125 mA to 95 mA - increased the value of one of the pair of resistors from 3.3 Ohm to 6.8 Ohm for each of the four above pins, leaving the other unchanged.
Driver current limitation. BD9276EFV at 1-883-300-11.
General recommendations
To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers 1-732-438-11, you should proportionally increase the values of the resistors from pins 26, 28, 30, 32 of the BD9276EFV microcircuit to ground for all four channels in the same way, for example, remove one resistor from the pair, then the current will be halved.
You can increase the value of one of the pair of resistors so as to reduce the current by 20-30 percent.
