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 problems

- SONY KDL-43WF804 TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, does not shine or blink indicators.

With such manifestations, in some cases the Adapter power module is defective.
External power supply of Adapter 19.5V 4.36A 85W type the owner of the TV usually buys himself, it often happens that its repair is not expedient, but the simplest defects typical of the power supply can be seen and easily eliminated after opening it. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in case of their absence (complete or partial), you should check the serviceability of power converter keys and rectifier diodes for possible short circuits.
If the semiconductors in the secondary circuits breakdown, the inverter can usually fail in the short-circuit mode, and the mains fuse is often blown when there is a short circuit in the primary circuit power elements.
Breakdown of the Mos-Fet switches used in switching sources is often caused by faults in other elements, such as in the PWM controller supply circuit, in the frequency-retaining or damping circuits, and in the Negative Feedback Stabilization circuit. PWM microcircuits are usually checked by replacing them with new ones or with ones known to be in good working order.

- No picture, sound is there, remote responds. Or the image can appear for a second and then disappear at once.

In these cases the LED panel backlight failure is the most probable. Usually the cause of the trouble is the breakage of the LEDs or in the connectors of the LED strips 74.43T08.004-00-FC1 LB43044 V1_00_R, LB43044 V1_00_L, but sometimes the LEDdriver is also at fault.
It is impossible to detect a breakage in the line of LEDs without disassembling the panel with a simple multimeter. The LEDs are connected in series and to open their junctions you will need several tens of volts. Ideally a current source would be suitable for this purpose. You can open up the panel and check each LED separately. Usually, Chinese multimeters will light up one 3 volt LED slightly if you connect the probes to it in the forward direction (red probe to the anode, black probe to the cathode). For twin 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its faulty stabilizer can be used as an indicator of the health of the LED. If the LED is faulty, it will either be open or shorted.

- The TV set will not turn on, the LED will indicate standby or operation mode, or it will blink.

Repair or diagnosis of the motherboard 1-982-626-21 should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (firmware). Repair and replacement of CPU: MT5832 DGI J, eMMC H26M52208FRP, DRAM, AUDIO, DC/DC chips are made with the necessary equipment and the appropriate component base. Malfunctions associated with the use of soldering technology BGA processor can be localized by the method of heating.

If there is no TV channel reception, but the TV set is working properly from external devices, you must first check the CE251ZP.JPG tuner supply voltage and update the software. It is necessary to check the I2C communication pulses with an oscilloscope.

We would like to remind the TV users once again: Do not try to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and necessary qualification!
