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 malfunctions

- TV TCL LED55D2730B does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, does not light or blink indicators.

With similar manifestations, a malfunction is most likely found in the SHG5504B10-101H power module. It is necessary to make sure that its output voltages are present and, if they are completely absent, check the power switches (JCS13N50FT, JCS5N50FT) and rectifier diodes 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 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 FA5591N, FA6A11N, TPS560200, 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 picture, but there is sound, it reacts to the remote control Or the image appears when turned on and disappears immediately

Most likely in these cases is a malfunction of the LED panel backlight. Often the cause of the malfunction is the lack of current in the LED circuit, for example, their open or short circuit, or the violation of the contact connections of the connectors of the YHA-4C-LB3205-YHEX1 brackets.
To check the health of the LED circuit, it is better to use a current source with a maximum voltage of 200V. We do not recommend using any voltage sources for this purpose. You can check each LED separately with a simple Chinese multimeter (powered by 9 volts) in the P-N transition test mode. If you connect the red probe of the multimeter to the anode of the LED, and the black one to its cathode, then the 3-volt LED will light up slightly, and in the opposite direction you can detect the transition of the emergency zener diode. The serviceability of the PN junction of the Zener diode indirectly indicates the serviceability of the LED-a

If TCL LED55D2730B has no image, but there is sound, often the LVF550CSOT E13 display backlight simply does not work. Moreover, in LED TVs, the LEDs inside the panel usually fail, less often the LED driver.
In such cases, you can see a barely noticeable image when the external light hits the screen.

Replacing the LEDs requires disassembling the LVF550CSOT LCD panel - a process that requires experience and qualifications from the master. We do not recommend doing such work on your own to the owners of TVs and craftsmen who do not have experience in repairing LCD panels

If there is no image, and the backlight is on, the screen becomes slightly lighter when turned on, and in an open TV you can see light through the holes in the panel case.
In this case, the panel may also be faulty - damage to strips, loops, for example, as a result of moisture ingress after unsuccessful washing of the screen, the T-CON (Timing Controller) board may be faulty. But the main board MainBoard 40-MT31SS-MAC2HG often turns out to be faulty; a software failure is also possible.
Then, first of all, you need to check the panel 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 the normal range, it is necessary to use an oscilloscope to trace the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard 40-MT31SS-MAC2HG, as well as synchronization signals to the loops with drivers.

Flooded or unsuccessfully washed screens of LED TVs can be restored, in about half of the cases, usually if significant damage has not formed in the loops and panel strips. 

READ HOW TO REPAIR THE TV LED BACKLIGHT --------------> HERE.

- The TV does not turn on, the indicator signals the standby or operating mode, or blinks.

Repair or diagnostics of the 40-MT31SS-MAC2HG motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters required to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Complicated MB (SSB) repair is possible only in the conditions of a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing SPI Flash: W25Q64BV, AUDIO: TAS5707 requires the necessary training and professional skills to repair modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can sometimes be diagnosed by the warm-up method.

The malfunction of the DT21CN-2-E tuner is established after checking the software and all supply voltages at its terminals. The data exchange of the tuner with the processor via the I2C bus can be monitored with an oscilloscope.

Remember! Attempts to self-repair the TCL LED55D2730B TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!

Driver current limitation. GB98ADN. general information

To reduce the backlight current of the LED driver with the GB98ADN control microcircuit, it is necessary to increase the total resistance of the resistors at pin 2 of ISET GB98ADN to the case. When using two or more microcircuits, the revision must be made in the same way in each channel.

Key features of the TCL LED55D2730B device:

Installed matrix (LED-panel) LVF550CSOT E13.
Matrix control uses Timing Controller (T-CON) ST5461B05-2-XC-2.
A converter combined with a power supply is used to power the backlight LEDs, and is controlled by the GB98ADN PWM controller. APM1105NU 16A 100V TO-252 switches are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the TCL LED55D2730B TV is carried out by the SHG5504B10-101H power module, or its analogues using the FA5591N, FA6A11N, TPS560200 microcircuits and power switches of the JCS13N50FT, JCS5N50FT type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 40-MT31SS-MAC2HG module, using SPI Flash chips: W25Q64BV, AUDIO: TAS5707 and others.
The DT21CN-2-E tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

Attention! The LVF550CSOT E13 panel of the TCL LED55D2730B LED TV is an expensive and unreliable element.
Avoid any impacts 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.
