General advice about LCD LED TV repair
Possible problems

- PHILIPS 43PUS6401 TV does not turn on. There is no indication of any functionality. No LEDs on the front panel are not blinking or on, the TV does not respond.

In cases like this, the problem should start with the power supply circuits 715G7350-P01-000-002S. It is necessary to measure in its secondary circuits output voltages, and in case of their complete absence, you should check the serviceability of the power switches (TK20A60W) and the rectifier diodes for possible breakdown (short circuit).
If there is a breakdown in the secondary circuits, the inverter may be short-circuited, and if there is a short in the primary circuit elements, the mains fuse usually blows.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulsed 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) LD7591T, SSC3S121A, if do not have visible damage to the housing and outright short circuit between the pins, usually checked by replacing.

- No picture, but there is sound and the remote responds. Or the image appears at power on and immediately disappears.

Often in such cases there is no backlight of the LED panel. The reason can be found in the malfunction LEDs, in violation of the contact connections of the LED strips GJ-2K16-430-D512-V4, or in their power supply (LED-driver).
It is impossible to check the LED strips for breakage without disassembling the panel with a multimeter or a tester. For this purpose, you need to open all the series-connected PN-junctions and will need a voltage of about tens of volts, and ideally - a current source. Having disassembled the panel, it is necessary to check each LED separately. Chinese multimeters tend to light up a single 3 volt LED slightly in the forward direction. In the case of twin 6 volt LEDs, the PN junction of its safety regulator may be a good indicator. In faulty LEDs, the regulator will either be broken or broken in short circuit.

If PHILIPS 43PUS6401 has no picture, but there is sound, often the backlight of the display TPT430U3-EQYSHM.G. Moreover, in LED-TVs usually fail LEDs inside the panel, less often the LED-driver.
In such cases you can see a faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the LCD-panel TPT430U3-EQYSHM.G - the process requiring a master of experience and expertise. We do not recommend 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 backlighting works - the screen becomes slightly lighter when the TV is switched 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 often the MainBoard 715G7776-M0F-B01-005K is also faulty, and software failure is also possible.
Then first it is necessary to check the panel power 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 normal limits, you need to trace by oscilloscope the LVDS signals from MainBoard 715G7776-M0F-B01-005K, as well as synchronizing signals to driver stubs.

Filled or badly washed LED TV screens can be restored in about half of the cases, usually, if there are not significant damages in the hinges and slats of the panel.

- The TV does not turn on, the remote control does not respond. Indicator is blinking or in standby mode.

Repair or diagnostic of the motherboard 715G7776-M0F-B01-005K should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (firmware).

To owners of TV set 43PUS6401 we recommend to apply only to qualified specialists with necessary experience for repair! Attempting to repair it yourself without proper knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!

Refinement after repair of the backlight. 715G7350-P01-000-002S, PF6002AS. Information from the master.

Reduce backlight current from 190 mA to 140 mA - removed resistors R8625, R8633 in the LED driver current sensors on the 715G7350-P01-000-002S board.
Driver current limitation. 715G7350-P01-000-002S. 

General information.


To reduce the backlight current in TVs with the 715G7350-P01-000-002S power supply, the board has two assemblies of resistors (current sensors) for the two channels, R8624, R8625, R8626, R8627 and R8631, R8632, R8633, R8634. You can remove one or two resistors in each assembly for both channels equally.
