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 advice about LCD LED TV repair
Possible trouble spots

- THOMSON T24D16DH-02B TV set does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, does not shine or blink indicators.

In these cases the AC/DC converter which is integrated to the main board TP.MS3463S.PA583 is often at fault. You should measure its output voltages, and if they are not, check the condition of the power switches (TO-252) of the converters and the rectifier diodes for possible short circuits.
If there is a breakdown in the secondary circuits of the inverter, it can usually fail in the short-circuit mode, and a short in the power elements of the primary circuit most often breaks the mains fuse or current sensor in the source of the key.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulse sources, sometimes caused by faults in other circuit elements, for example, in the circuits that feed the PWM controller, frequency-retaining or damping circuits, as well as in the negative feedback (negative feedback) stabilization circuits. PWM regulators (PWM) PWM SOT23-6, if they do not have visible case damage and outright short circuits between pins, are usually checked by replacement.

- No image, the screen is black, there is sound, with external screen illumination you can sometimes see faintly visible outlines of the image.

Usually in such cases there is no backlight of the LED panel (matrix). The reason for this may be a breakage in the circuit LED 3030 6V, or a problem in stabilizing their power.
To check the LED arrays for breakage without disassembling the panel you can, for example, use a power supply. It is not possible to open the series connected PN-junctions with a simple multimeter, you will need a voltage of about several tens of volts.

If the THOMSON T24D16DH-02B has no picture but has sound, often the LVW240CMDX E5 V12 display backlight is just not working. Moreover, in LED TVs usually fail LEDs inside the panel, less often the LED driver.
In such cases, you can see a barely noticeable image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the LCD panel LVW240CMDX - a process which requires a master of experience and skill. It is not recommended to perform such works by yourself to owners of TV sets and craftsmen who have no experience in LCD panel repair


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


If there is no image, but the backlight 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 TP.MS3463S.PA583 is defective, so software defects are also possible.
Then first it is necessary to check the panel power supply voltage, the 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, you need to trace by oscilloscope the LVDS signals from MainBoard TP.MS3463S.PA583, as well as synchronizing signals to driver stubs.

Filled or badly washed LED TV screens can be repaired in about half of the cases, usually, if there is no significant damage in the cables and panel bars.


- The TV set doesn't go into the operating mode, the remote control doesn't respond. Front panel indicator glows constantly or blinks.

Repair or diagnostic of the TP.MS3463S.PA583 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and the matrix. If necessary you should update or replace the software (firmware). Complex repair of MB board (SSB) in some cases is possible and practiced by repairers. To do this you should check and if necessary replace SPI FLASH elements: GD25Q64. BGA chips failures are usually easy to detect by heating method.

If there is no TV channel reception, but the TV set is working properly from external devices, first of all you should check the CDT-9NT372-RF01 tuner supply voltage and update the software. It is necessary to control the data exchange impulses via I2C bus with the help of oscilloscope.

Once again I remind users! The attempts to repair THOMSON T24D16DH-02B TV without proper qualification and necessary experience may result in its complete unrepairability!



After repair of TP.MS3463S.PA583, MP3398A backlight. Information from the master.

Decrease backlight current from 280 mA to 210 mA - I installed one 18 kOhm instead of two parallel connected 15 kOhm and 100 kOhm resistors on pin 6 of MP3398A ISET chip.

Current limitation. TP.MS3463S.PA583, MP3398A. General advice.


To reduce the backlighting current in TV's with the TP.MS3463S.PA583 board and the MP3398A controller you should increase the total resistance of the resistors in proportion to the case on pin 6 of the MP3398A ISET controller.
The resistors in the diagram are labeled RB812, RB813, RB822.


Inverse proportion formula for backlight current in milliamps and resistance Rset in kiloohms:
I[mA]=988/Rset[kOhm].

A pdf document is included.--------------->  MP3398A.

Ways to limit the current in LED backlight drivers:

There is a lot of information on the Internet about ways to limit the current in the LED backlighting for different TVs and LED drivers. A lot of it is written plausibly but sometimes it is written by people far from electronics in order to publish any popular content on hot topics to boost web-sites ratings.

It's impossible to talk about each case separately within one article, because even similar models may have different panels and different boards with their own driver variants. But there are basic principles that are clear to craftsmen with even minimal knowledge and skill.


Other popular, complex and controversial current limit cases will be published as information becomes available.
There are three basic ways to reduce the backlight current.

1. By increasing the resistance of the LED current sensor - a low-resistance measuring resistor in the cathode (LED-) circuit.
2. Increasing the ratings of the resistors on the ISET (current setting) input of the LED driver chip.
3. changing the resistor ratings in the divider on the ADIM (Dimming) control input.

The fundamental difference between input ISET and ADIM is that ISET - input inverted, as FB, and ADIM - direct.


More on MainBoard repair

The MainBoard TP.MS3463S.PA583 is shown in the figure below:

TP.MS3463S.PA583

The main features of THOMSON T24D16DH-02B:

LVW240CMDX E5 V12 matrix (LED panel) is installed.
To power the LED backlight using a converter, combined with the main board TP.MS3463S.PA583, controlled by the PWM controller MP3398A. As power elements of the LED driver are used as TO-252-type switches.
The power module is combined with MainBoard and is designed as reverse-going AC/DC converter with PWM SOT23-6 chips and TO-252 type power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a TP.MS3463S.PA583 module, using SPI FLASH: GD25Q64 and other microcircuits.
The CDT-9NT372-RF01 tuner provides TV program reception and channel tuning.


PWM SMPS in SOT-23-6, SOT-26, TSOP-6 packages

In the circuitry of modern switching power supplies (SMPS), PWM controllers made in small-sized planar packages with six terminals have gained wide popularity. The enclosure type designation can be SOT-23-6, SOT-23-6L, SOT-26, TSOP-6, SSOT-6. The appearance and arrangement of the pins are shown in the figure below. In this case, the code marking LD7530A is shown on the left fragment of the picture.


 

 Pin assignment:
1 - GND. (Common wire).
2 - FB. (FeedBack - Feedback). Input for controlling the duration of pulses with a signal from the output voltage. Sometimes it can be labeled COMP (input comparator).
3 - RI / RT / CT / COMP / NC - Depending on the type of microcircuit, it can be used for a frequency-setting RC circuit (RI / RT / CT), or for organizing protection, as an input of a PWM trip comparator at a threshold value at its input, specified in the document. In some types of microcircuits, this input may not be used in any way (NC - No Connect).
4 - SENSE, otherwise CS (Current Sense) - Input from the current sensor at the source of the key.
5 - VCC - Input voltage supply and start of the microcircuit.
6 - OUT (GATE) - Output for controlling the gate (Gate) of the key.

Functionally, these regulators work on the principle of the previously popular xx384x PWM microcircuits, which have proven themselves well in terms of reliability and stability.

Some difficulties often arise when replacing or choosing an analog for such PWM regulators due to the use of code markings in the designation of the type of microcircuits. The situation is complicated by a large number of component manufacturers who do not always provide documentation to the mass access, just as not all manufacturers of finished devices supply repair service centers with diagrams, so repairmen often have to study real circuit solutions by installed components and wiring connections directly on the board.

In practice, PWM microcircuits and the marking code EAxxx and Eaxxx are often found. Official documentation for them was not found in the public domain, but discussions on the forums and pieces of pictures from PDF from System General, which publishes them as SG6848T and SG6848T2, have survived. The drawing is here placed left .


 

For the attention of the masters, here below are PDF datasheet tables compiled from information available on the Internet and PDF documents for the selection of analogues types when replacing the most common six-legged planar PWM with pinout pins: pin1 - GND, pin2 - FB (COMP), pin4 - Sense, pin5 - Vcc, pin6 - OUT ...
Their main difference is the application and purpose of pin 3.

 PWM controllers that use pin 3 differently.

When using the following PWM (PWM controllers), you should pay attention to pin 3, which can be used to organize protection - thermal or from overvoltage of the input voltage.
The frequency can be fixed at 65kHz, or set by the value of the capacitor at pin 3.
When replacing any microcircuits with analogs, carefully study the documentation. PDF files are packed in a RAR archive.
