It is impossible to imagine a modern apartment or house without video and audio equipment. This equipment is used every day and therefore breaks down more often than others. There are several ways to repair TVs: send the technician to a service center, call a qualified technician at home, or make repairs with your own hands.
Before you start repairing a TV, you first need to make sure what the problem is. This will also help if you do the repair yourself, and then when the master comes, you will be able to explain the situation to him.
There are several types of malfunctions that can most often be found when a TV breaks down.
If we take into account all the troubles listed above, it is worth saying that the most difficult breakdown is considered to be a screen malfunction. For example, light reflections appear on your monitor after the liquid hits the matrix or the TV is hit, then it is better to carry it to the teleservice. Here it will certainly be repaired, and if the warranty period has not expired, then it will be free of charge or at a reduced price.
You can try to fix some malfunctions of TVs yourself. And it doesn't matter here - these are LCD models, LCD or LED, it is not necessary to call the wizard if you are confident in your abilities. But caution never hurts, because such TV models are not cheap, and without having any repair experience or knowledge in this area, you can only harm and aggravate the breakdown.
Before you start repairing LED or LCD TVs, you must carefully read the instructions, and also study the principle of operation of your model. Anyone, even one far from this field, will understand that the repair of TVs such as LCD or LED will differ from CRT models. In the latter case, you are guaranteed not to run into a faulty PTC thermistor. The main thing here is to determine the problem, why does the backlight not work?
If you are repairing LCD, LED models, then the only difference here will be what kind of backlight is used. If it is an LCD TV, then the backlighting is produced using fluorescent or fluorescent lamps. For TVs, LED backlighting is produced using LEDs. At this point, the differences between LCD models usually end.
The breakdown can only consist in the fact that there is no power, in order to check this on an LCD TV, you can do the following with your own hands:
When a broken lamp in an LED or LCD TV is identified, it must be replaced.This stage requires maximum care from the master, as well as the manifestation of special attention. In some cases, the lamp is removed without removing the matrix, you just need to move the protective elements with a rubber gasket and pull out the lamp with a soldering iron. Similarly, it is necessary to mount a working light bulb. Now we can congratulate you - you did the repair of the LCD TV with your own hands! Just pay attention to one important nuance - the new light bulb must fully meet the parameters and dimensions of the broken one!
To repair TVs yourself, look carefully at the matrix! If there are "unhealthy" streaks here, then the breakage is in the matrix. Have a new part? Then everything is simple! You change it and turn on the TV, if it works, then you have accurately identified the breakdown.
If the reason for the breakdown of LCD TVs is the screen, then it is best to purchase new models of LCD or LED equipment. It is not recommended to change the screen of LCD and LED models, as it is impractical! This also applies to the LCD matrix.
What could be the problem with a malfunctioning plasma TV? If it is necessary to repair plasma TVs, then proceed in the same way as described above. Just adapt it to your specific case. This description can be applied to any model of plasma TV, just stock up on the necessary tools in advance.
Although today most users prefer to use plasma, many still watch programs on more outdated CRT models. Let's find out how to repair a breakdown in such TVs. Below is a step-by-step instruction that will help you repair your electron beam product with your own hands.
But not only the matter may be in the posistor, transistors and capacitors burn out in CRT models. The diagnosis of this breakdown can also be made visually. If the condensate is blackened or cracked, then we replace it with a serviceable analogue. Now you know why the TV does not work and how to fix it yourself.
Repairing a TV is not always associated with a long troubleshooting study of the circuits and flashing the controller. Sometimes it is enough to open the device and carefully examine the appearance of the parts.
VIDEO The TV got out as faulty and had to go for parts. When turned on, the TV often blinked green LED. The malfunction, in principle, indicated a problem with the power supply. So how to make repairs.
1. Place the TV on a flat surface. We unscrew the four mounting screws from the back of the TV. The slot of the screws is an asterisk. See photo.
2. Unscrew the two screws that secure the TV leg.
3. Lift the back cover. At the top right is the power supply board.
4. We carefully study the appearance of the capacitors. The knurled top covers must be flat. If there is swelling or even opening, then the part should be replaced.
5. We buy, select serviceable electrolytic capacitors. For this repair, capacitors were taken from the CRT monitor board. Capacitors can also be supplied in larger geometrical sizes - a headroom of 10-15 mm. Try to set analogs in terms of capacity, the operating voltage can be used at a higher one. And don't buy the cheapest capacitors, suspiciously labeled capacitors.
6. Unscrew the two screws securing the power supply board. Disconnect the right and top connectors. Parts have been accessed. We solder the capacitors and install new ones.
7. Putting the TV set. DO NOT FORGET to attach the connectors. We turn on the TV to the network. In principle, during the repair it was assumed that it would not work, then not the details: (. But the TV worked. The LED turned green and the screen lit up. Lucky!
TV on the LT41.1E chassis
This is how we were not too lazy to revive and give a second life to the Philips LCD TV! After rummaging through the forums, it turned out to be a typical malfunction for TVs on the LC4.1E chassis.
Is it possible to find out the capacity of an electrolytic capacitor standing alone next to a transformer. Unfortunately, it was flooded with some nasty stuff and all the data deteriorated during soldering, I really would not want to throw away the TV.
It is no secret that a breakdown of a television receiver can ruin the mood of any owner. The question arises, where to look for a good master, do you need to take the device to a service center? You need to spend your time on this, and what is important - money. But, before calling the master, if you have basic knowledge of electrical engineering and know how to hold a screwdriver and a soldering iron in your hands, then repairing the TV with your own hands in some cases is still possible.
Modern LCD TVs have become more compact and easier to repair. Of course, there are breakdowns that are difficult to detect without special diagnostic equipment. But most often there are malfunctions that can be detected even visually, for example, swollen capacitors ... With such a breakdown, it is enough to evaporate them and replace them with new ones with the same parameters.
All TV sets are the same in their structure and consist of a power supply unit (PSU), a motherboard and an LCD backlight module (lamps are used) or LED (LEDs are used). It is not worth repairing the motherboard on your own, but the power supply unit and screen backlight lamps are quite possible.
As already mentioned, the design and principle of operation of LED and LCD TVs, regardless of the manufacturer, are the same. Of course, there are some differences, but they do not play a significant role in the diagnosis of faults. Often, in the event of a problem with the power supply, the LCD TV does not turn on at all, while there is no indication, or it turns on for a while and turns off spontaneously. Using an example, the repair of a DAEWOO LCD power supply unit (can be applied to plasma) is considered, which is not much different from repairing an LG TV, as well as Toshiba, Sonya, Rubin, Horizon and similar models.
First of all, before you repair the TV, you need to remove the back panel of the device with a screwdriver by unscrewing the screws. On some models, the rear wall may be latches installed which must be handled with care so as not to break them.
After removing the cover, you will see the power supply unit, consisting of several modules on the left, and the motherboard on the right.
On the power supply board you can see 3 transformers : the bottom one is the mains rectifier choke, the top one on the left (large) feeds the inverter, and on the right is the standby power supply transformer. You need to start checking with it, since it turns on the standby mode of the TV receiver.
Duty transformer when the device is connected to the network, it should give out a voltage of 5 V. In order to correctly find the wire on which you need to measure the voltage, you can use the diagram, or you can see the markings on the case. In this case, opposite the required contact is written - 5 V.
Measurement is taken first open circuit by connecting one probe to the found contact, and the other to the cathode of the diode on the radiator. In this case, there is no break.
Further, one tester probe can be attached to the body of the device, the other to the previously selected contact, and measure the voltage, having previously connected the telly to the network. In this case, the device shows 1.5 V, instead of the required 5 V. Such readings of the transformer indicate that it is working, but not at full strength. The reason may be dry condenser located below, or swollen - above the transformer.
To remove the parts that have become unusable, it is necessary to remove the power supply board. To do this, first disconnect all wires and the matrix cable coming from the inverter and the system board. So that in the future, after repairing the power supply, you do not get confused where what is connected, you can take a picture of them before disconnecting the wires and loops.
Now you can remove the entire LCD TV power supply by unscrewing the 4 screws. After removing it, it is very important discharge all capacitors to avoid electric shock.
We solder the defective capacitors and replace them with new ones, observing the polarity.
The assembly of the device takes place in the reverse order: the board is screwed into place, all connectors and cables are connected, the rear panel of the unit is closed.
We again measure the voltage on the transformer of the TV's power supply (the device should turn on) and see that it has become 5v. When you unfold the repaired TV receiver, you will see that it works.
As you can see from the review presented above, repairing TV power supplies with your own hands is not such an overwhelming task. Following this description, you can also repair plasma TVs.
Do-it-yourself TV repair with a kinescope, for example, such as: Rubin, Horizon, Sharp 2002sc, LG TVs, as well as repair of the Vityaz TV, begins with checking the power supply unit for operability (this is done if the unit does not turn on). It is checked using incandescent bulbs for 220 V and a power of 60-100 W. But before that, be sure to disconnect the load, namely the horizontal output stage (SR) - connect a lamp instead. The CP voltage ranges from 110 to 150 V, depending on the size of the tube. Must be found in the secondary circuit SR filter capacitor (its values can be from 47 to 220 microfarads and 160 - 200 V), which stands behind the SR power rectifier.
To simulate the load, you need to connect a lamp in parallel to it. To remove the load, for example, in the popular Sharp 2002sc model, it is necessary to find and unsolder the inductor (located after the capacitor), the fuse and the limiting resistance through which the CP stage receives power.
Now you need to connect the power supply to the power supply unit, and measure the voltage under load. The voltage should be between 110 and 130 V if the CRT has a diagonal of 21 to 25 inches (as in the 2002sc model). With a diagonal of 25-29 inches - 130-150 V, respectively. If the values are too high , then it will be necessary to check the feedback circuit and the power supply circuit (primary).
It should be noted that electrolytes dry out during prolonged operation and lose capacity, which, in turn, affects the stability of the module and contributes to an increase in voltage.
When the voltage is too low it is necessary to test the secondary circuits to exclude leaks and short circuits. After that, the diodes for the protection of the power supply of the SR and the diodes for the power supply of the vertical scan are checked. If you are convinced that the power supply unit is working properly, then you need to disconnect the lamp and solder all the parts back. This check can also come in handy when doing DIY Philips TV repairs.
Another common breakdown of the TV that can be eliminated is the burnout of the backlight lamp. In this case, the TV receiver, after switching on, flashes the indicator several times and does not turn on ... This means that after self-diagnosis, the device notices a malfunction, after which the protection is triggered. That is why there is no image on the screen.
For example, a Sharp LSD TV receiver with this malfunction was taken, although in this way it is possible to repair Samsung TVs, Sony Trinitron, Rubin, Horizon, etc.
To fix the TV, you need to remove the back cover from the TV. This requires a screwdriver or screwdriver.
Next, you need to be careful disconnect loops from the matrix.
The next step is to detach the control panel from the case. You do not need to remove it, you will still need it to turn on the device.
The remaining loops also need to be disconnected. Then it is necessary to remove the housing on which the electronic boards are fixed.
Before removing the matrix, unscrew front frame ... We remove the matrix itself and filters, snap off the side mounts.
We connect the power and hold down a few keys to enter service menu ... This will keep the lamps on for a while.
The figure below shows that after turning on the lamps, the 5th from the top turned out to be inoperative. Disconnect it and replace it with a new one - now all the lamps are on when checking.
The assembly takes place in the reverse order.
After that, you need to turn on the TV receiver and enter the service menu for reset lamp error counter ... If this is not done, the device will not work. Entering the menu, you need to find the corresponding line and reset by selecting ok. Now the repair of the LCD TV set is finished. Tests show that the unit is operating normally.
Thus, you can repair the Philips and LG TV with your own hands, and other LCD panels, as well as devices with LED backlight (LED). Owners of the latter type of devices should read the article on repairing LED backlighting, where the whole process is described in detail using the example of an LG TV.
Among the typical and simple reasons that the TV set does not turn on, there may be a remote control or a lack of signal from the antenna cable.
If the TV does not turn on with the remote control, first, you need to make sure the batteries are good. If they are shrunken, replace them. Often the TV set cannot turn on due to contamination of contacts under the buttons. To do this, you can disassemble it yourself, and clean the contacts with a soft cloth from accumulated dirt. If your remote control has been dropped, it is possible damage to the quartz emitter ... In this case, it must be replaced. Well, if you filled the remote control with water or some other liquid, and it did not work after disassembling and drying, then it will have to be replaced with a new one.
You can learn more about fixing the remote control in the following video or article.
When repairing TVs LG, Sharp with LCD, Rubin, Horizon with the same screens, a situation often arises when it does not turn on when the device is in good working order. It turns out that the reason may be no TV signal in the antenna cable. This happens due to the operation of the noise suppression protection (in Rubin TVs, they began to install it not so long ago), and the unit goes into standby mode. Therefore, if you find your TV set inoperative, you should not panic, but you need to check the presence of a signal from the transmitting station.
In conclusion, we can say that when you decide to repair a TV set yourself, you should soberly assess your abilities and knowledge in this matter.If you do not feel confident, then it is better to entrust this matter to a telemaster, especially since nobody canceled 220 V, and ignorance of basic safety rules can entail unpleasant consequences.

Repair of plasma TVs: do-it-yourself LCD and LED, LG and Philips do not turn on, video and circuits, liquid crystal
Plasma TV repair: 3 ways of carrying out
Before starting the repair work, it is imperative to determine what exactly has broken down and for this, the device is diagnosed. If the TV does not turn on, then a malfunction may occur due to a blown fuse. This applies to LCD TVs and CRTs. At the same time, as practice shows, the problem may lie in the failure of the diode bridge.
TV repair is possible :
Produce at a service center;
Call the master at home;
Do all the repair work yourself.
Plasma TVs, in contrast to tube TVs, have many advantages, since they: have a richer image, are distinguished by a thin body, are characterized by high contrast and wide viewing angles. However, despite all the advantages, like models with a picture tube, they are susceptible to a variety of breakdowns.
All types of malfunctions that occur can be divided into several categories, namely :
Plasma panel malfunction;
Breakdown of the electrical circuit, receiver;
Problems with sockets, connectors, wires;
Dust build-up inside the device.
If the screen is broken, the image may be partially or completely missing. In this case, it will be necessary to replace the plasma panel in a specialized service center, and you will not be able to repair the TV yourself. If the TV panel is broken, you also need to replace it. If the problem is in the electronics, then the image may be distorted and disappear completely. Electronics can be repaired by yourself by re-soldering defective parts or replacing them with new ones.
However, it is imperative to have certain knowledge and skills in working with electronics.
If you carelessly handle wires, cables or connectors, certain problems can arise. Defective parts of the LED TV can be repaired, and in case of a serious breakdown, they can be replaced with new ones. The accumulation of dust inside the case can provoke the occurrence of various malfunctions, which is why it is better to clean the device in a timely manner than to repair the TV for a long time.
Repairing LED TVs at home can be quite a difficult and time-consuming task, which is why you need to pay enough attention to prevention, as this will help reduce the risk of breakdown.
Preventive measures include :
The device must be in a ventilated area;
Dust cleaning should be done periodically;
Do not leave static pictures for more than 20 minutes.
Learning to repair a TV yourself is quite simple, the most important thing is to take into account the advice of professional masters. You can learn all the secrets of fixing LCD TVs by watching video tutorials for beginners, where everything is detailed for each brand of device.
Important! Before starting to repair the TV yourself, it is advisable to consult with a specialist, since the cause of the breakdown can be very serious and you can only cause even more damage to the equipment.
LG is considered one of the most popular home appliance manufacturers. The manufacturer is constantly improving the production of household appliances, introducing the latest technologies, which makes it possible to achieve the exceptional quality of appliances.
Basically, factors such as :
Ingress of foreign objects inside the vehicle;
Clogging;
Poor maintenance and misuse.
Before starting to repair an LSD TV, you need to prepare the appropriate tools and check the device for faults. Then you need to remove the back cover of the device and find the instructions, which will be written in Russian, so that you can study the configuration. Initially, the television receiver is inspected, and the reliability of the connection of all cables is checked. After checking the connections, you need to carefully inspect the cable equipment, because it can be the main cause of the breakdown.
If the cause of the malfunction lies in the power cord, then initially you need to replace it and only then proceed with further diagnostics of the device.
Often LSIDI TVs do not work due to a breakdown of the power supply. For the same reason, the computer can often fail. Breakdowns mainly occur as a result of excessive accumulation of dust inside the device. During the repair of an old CRT TV, you need to inspect the basement element of the picture tube. All threads must be illuminated. If you have to repair electronic devices for the first time, then the circuitry is initially drawn up.
Fixing a TV with your own hands is a completely doable task, the most important thing is to get acquainted with the peculiarities of the internal structure of technology from the beginning.
The simplest are considered TV models such as :
In addition, among modern TVs, the Sony, Panasonic, Elenberg, Mystery brands differ in a rather simple device. Standard malfunctions are considered to be the lack of backlighting or intermittent loss of sound. In this case, it is important to determine the performance of each individual element. On TVs Supra, Samsung, VVK and others, the LEDs located on the tape often burn out. The issue is fixed by replacing them. The reason for the burnout of LEDs is mainly the constant overheating of the device and its operation at a critical temperature regime. In addition to replacing the LED, it is also important to align the heatsink as this allows for better heat dissipation.
The high reliability of the Philips brand TV guarantees its long service life, however, in some cases, various types of breakdowns may occur. Philips brand technology is of high quality and difficulty in eliminating breakdowns, since the device is characterized by the peculiarity of parts, in particular, such as a transformer.
The most common types of malfunction are such as :
Lack of sound;
Blinking, intermittent disappearance or complete absence of a picture;
Image distortion;
Lack of response to commands.
In the case of a broken matrix, it is best to purchase another TV, as it will be very expensive to replace it. If you do not have sufficient experience in carrying out repair work, then you can watch video tutorials or entrust the elimination of malfunctions to specialists.

LCD TVs are a very reliable and functional device, however, if used improperly, if dust and foreign objects get in, as well as in the case of defects and many other problems, various kinds of breakdowns may occur. You can easily eliminate many types of plasma faults on your own, the most important thing is to first study the device of this type of technology.
Do-it-yourself TV repair is a responsible business, since today a large number of different models (LCD, LSD, CRT) are presented on the market, each of which has its own technological features. Therefore, the approach to each type of TV is individual; in some cases, special skills will be required (knowledge of electronics, experience with a soldering station).
Before proceeding with the repair of television equipment, it is necessary to find out the cause of the problem.
The most common problems are:
TV screen does not turn on - this can happen with an old picture tube screen and with the most modern television panel. Basically, this symptom is characteristic of a blown fuse. When repairing, it should be borne in mind that the appropriate fuse must be selected for each model. And also experts recommend paying attention to the diode bridge, power supply, wire, perhaps the cause of the malfunction lies in these elements. Read also what to do if Samsung TV does not turn on.Faint, barely noticeable picture - such a breakdown happens with LCD / LCD monitors. The most likely cause of the malfunction: faulty diodes, device backlighting.There is no sound, the screen "wheezes" - most likely, the sound amplifier or microcircuit is out of order. Also read what to do if there is sound, but there is no picture.Monitor is on, no picture - Perhaps the cause of the problem is in the video processor or in the receiving unit.You should be aware that if a darkening of the board or rupture of elements is detected during a visual inspection of television equipment, then it is not recommended to immediately start replacing parts. Since such factors indicate a short circuit that could have occurred in another section of the TV. Therefore, if you do not eliminate the cause of the short circuit, but simply change the failed elements, then the situation will repeat itself.
To repair television equipment, the following tools and equipment may be required:
Screwdriver Set;
hex keys (in rare cases);
pliers;
soldering station (for repairing modern monitors);
screen layout (can be downloaded on the Internet);
multimeter;
oscilloscope.
Many LCD screen problems can be dealt with on your own. But you should know that these screens require more careful handling than, for example, CRT TVs.
First of all, the user needs to study the instructions for his model, and only after that start repairing the LCD or LED screen. You should be aware that LCD TVs use fluorescent bulbs for backlighting, while LEDs use LEDs.
The TV may not function due to lack of power, to check this, you need to do the following:
Open the back cover of the LCD TV with tools.
Disconnect the wires that are connected to the device matrix.
Connect a working light bulb to the contacts.
Some panels have more than one light source, in which case they must be tested as well. This can be done as follows: pull out the TV matrix and connect it to the network, it will immediately become clear which lamp is out of order.
After the faulty luminaire is found, it must be replaced. This procedure should be carried out as carefully as possible. In most cases, the lamp can be taken out even without removing the matrix - you need to move the protection elements and get the burned out part using a soldering station. Then a new lamp is installed in the same way.An important rule is that the new lamp must be completely identical to the old one.
Another common problem with these models is damage to the monitor. But in this case, it is not advisable to repair LCD TVs, since it is easier to buy a new screen. This test scheme can also be used to repair plasma televisions of all types. Read also how to fix the LED backlight yourself.
Each manufacturer has its own weak points, so below is a selection of the most common LCD screen breakdowns.
Often, users of this brand are faced with such a problem that when turned on, the device beeps without interruption. This symptom usually indicates that a leak has occurred. It is recommended to try replacing the preout stage diode.
Another common problem is that the monitor turns on and off itself. The main reason for this breakdown is a failed transistor, it is necessary to replace it. It is recommended that such malfunctions be eliminated on their own only by people who have experience in repairing television equipment.
DIY Philips TV repair is recommended if the problem is minor: settings are lost, cable replacement is required.
If the breakdown is complex, then it is better to entrust its elimination to specialists who will not only professionally perform repairs, but also issue a guarantee. Therefore, if the repaired screen stops working again, the user may demand a refund.
LG flat screen owners may have a problem saving settings. Such a problem does not require contacting the masters, you can repair the LG TV yourself. It is enough to switch the device to another operating mode, and all settings will be saved.
As well as in the case of other LCD models, if the problem is serious, then it is not recommended to repair an LG TV with your own hands, it is better to contact a specialist.
Despite the fact that today the majority of consumers prefer the most modern plasmas, CRT screens are still in demand. These TVs have their advantages: they are inexpensive, easy to operate, and the quality of the transmitted picture is still high.
The main problems with CRT devices:
the CRT TV does not turn on - just like on devices of a different type, first of all, you need to check the integrity of the fuses;
a diode bridge malfunction is a common problem with CRT receivers, you can fix the TV only after making a "ringing", you will need a multimeter from the equipment;
breakage of the posistor is considered the most serious problem; in order to check, it is necessary to turn off the power circuit of the TV, then start it again. After, observe the lamp, if it goes out, it means that the posistor is out of order. First of all, you need to adjust the resistance of the network, and then replace the part;
burnout of a transistor or capacitor - such a malfunction can be easily replaced by visual inspection (on black carbon parts), repair is carried out by replacing the part.
Below is a list of problems encountered by owners of CRT TVs.
The Rubin TV buzzes loudly when connected - most likely, the photodetector needs to be replaced.
The ruby does not turn on, the indicator does not light up - voltage surges in the transistor.
The Horizon TV does not have a blue tint, as well as the white balance is disturbed - this is mainly due to a break in the resistor.
There is sound, no image - the cause of the problem lies in poor contact of the power connector of the screen board. It is recommended to use a soldering iron to solder the harness into the Horizon TV board.
The screen does not turn on - there is a problem with the power supply.
A horizontal strip appears on the monitor - repairing a Vityaz TV consists in fixing a problem in the frame scan microcircuit.
Since the malfunction of the power supply is one of the most common problems of all types of TVs, it is necessary to study it in more detail.
Since all models of LCD monitors do not have fundamentally different design differences, therefore, the diagram below can be applied to all TVs (Toshiba, Horizon, Samsung, Sony, Rubin).
Repair of monitors equipped with a picture tube, for example, such as (ruby, sharp 2002sc, sony trinitron, vvk), as well as repair of Samsung TV, Panasonic. always starts checking the power supply.
Testing is carried out using an incandescent lamp, but before performing the procedure, it is necessary to disconnect Sharp c2002sc, Samsung or another screen from the load (horizontal cascade). The horizontal scan voltage can vary from 110 to 150 V, it depends on the size of the picture tube. It is required to find a sweep filter capacitor in the TV circuit. Next, you will need to connect a light bulb, in order to remove the load, it is necessary to unsolder the choke and the fuse through which the JV element consumes power. This scheme is used for sharp screens since 2002sc.
Video (click to play).
After that, connect the power adapter to electricity and measure the voltage, if the values exceed the norm, you will have to check the feedback circuit of the power supply. If the power supply unit is in good condition, then the light bulb is removed and all the elements are soldered into place. This is the basic information on how to repair a TV with your own hands.
