DIY TV repair schemes

In detail: do-it-yourself TV repair schemes from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

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.

  1. The technique does not turn off. In independence, a CRT TV or a modern LCD model has broken down, this malfunction is associated with a blown fuse. Only different models have distinctive details from each other. You should also pay attention to the diode bridge - perhaps it was he who burned out.
  2. In both domestic and imported models, the potential can often go astray, for the function of which the posistor is responsible.
  3. If the plasma TV monitor is broken, then the problem, most often, is interference or drops, light or dark stripes may appear, color changes while watching a program or movie.
  4. The problem may be a broken cord or a faulty outlet.

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:

  • open the back cover of the model;
  • remove the wires connected to the matrix;
  • connect the working lamp to the contacts;
  • there are also LCD models in which more than one light source is provided. In this case, all sources must be tested. Just dismantle the matrix and plug your TV into the network - you can see which LED is the problem.

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.

  • If you do not turn on such a device, check first of all the fuses. In these TVs, the back is made up of panels. Therefore, it is necessary to unscrew that part of the panels. Under such panels you will find a board and the power terminals must be connected to the fuse. They are connected to a conventional incandescent lamp, or rather to its base, after which the TV must be connected to the network. In the event that your equipment is in good working order, the lamp will go out after switching on, otherwise, when the fuse has blown, it will either not work at all, or it will constantly burn.
  • The diode bridge may also break. It should only be borne in mind that it is necessary to regulate and repair it only after making a dial. In this case, not only a multimeter is used, but also a product passport, which indicates the main parameters of this model.
  • The most difficult breakdown in a TV with a kinescope is a posistor. To check with your own hands, you must first turn off the power circuit, and then turn it on. In this case, the lamp must be monitored. If the work lamp goes out, then it can be said that the posistor is faulty. To make repairs, it is necessary to adjust the resistance of the network and only ventures to change this part.

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.

Without video and audio equipment, few people can imagine a full-fledged home, and it is precisely because of regular and intensive use that this type of equipment is most often subject to breakdowns. Repair of TVs can be done at home, if you call a master, or do all the work yourself.

Before starting repair work, you should determine what exactly broke in the TV.In any case, this will greatly facilitate both the independent repair process and the clarification of the essence of the problem to the TV technician.

The main types of faults:

  1. The device does not turn on. In both CRT models and more modern LCD TVs, a malfunction occurs due to a blown fuse. But in different devices, it can be represented by different details. At the same time, the problem may be a burnt out diode bridge; Image - DIY TV repair schemesPhoto - kinescope
  2. The potential of imported and domestic projection TVs is very often lost. A posistor is responsible for this function;
  3. Breakdown of plasma monitors. These include color changes, swings, interference, or dark (light) streaks on color TVs during broadcast;
  4. However, sometimes problems with turning on or operating certain functions are due to a faulty power cord or outlet.

Of all these troubles, the most difficult to fix is ​​screen breakage. For example, if light reflections appear on the monitor after a shock or water ingress on the matrix, then it is better to immediately take the device to a service center, where it can be repaired under warranty.

But most of the repair work can be done easily with your own hands. Let's consider in order how to carry out urgent repair of home LCD and LED TVs Thomson (Thomson), Sharp (Sharp), Samsung, Panasonic (Panasonic) and other models:

  1. The difference between the above types of TVs lies in the different backlighting, but in principle, their operating schemes are very similar. In LSD TVs, the monitor is illuminated by fluorescent lamps, and in LED - by LEDs. Therefore, if the monitor does not turn on, you immediately need to check whether the backlight is receiving power;
  2. Regardless of the brand, the back panel is removed. It is screwed to the base with screws. After that, you need to remove the network power wires from the matrix (first unplug the device from the outlet); Image - DIY TV repair schemesPhoto - rear panel
  3. To check their performance, you need to connect the most ordinary lamp to the contacts. Most often used at 100 watts;
  4. It should be noted that modern Toshiba (Toshiba), Sony (Sony), Philips (Philips) can connect several backlight sources to the circuit, so you will need to check each one separately; Image - DIY TV repair schemesPhoto - matrix
  5. For testing, the matrix is ​​removed, a lamp is connected to the contacts and the power wire is connected to the network. If it is working properly, then the lamp will light up. If not, then you will need to replace the cable or repair individual threads.

In addition, a certain area of ​​the backlight may burn out.

In different models of television equipment, the lamp is replaced in different ways. For example, for many Daewoo, Akai and Hitachi TVs, to dismantle a burned-out lamp, you will need to remove the matrix from the panel and reinstall the element on it. At the same time, for some Rolsen and Funai, it will be possible to change a burning light bulb or diode without dismantling it. Depending on the design, you will need to bend (unsolder) the contacts, remove the gasket and carefully remove the burnt element from the case. In its place, a completely similar lamp is installed, both in terms of parameters and dimensions.

Many Chinese models of television equipment - CTV, VAO, BBK, during disassembly you can see light stripes on the matrix. They indicate a breakdown of this particular element. Due to some external factors, the part stopped working and oxidized. In this case, you need to select an element that is identical in terms of performance and install it in the place of the faulty one.

Unlike old stationary CRT or portable models, plasma and ED versions are very rarely repairable if the screen breaks. This is a very time-consuming process, so not even all professional workshops undertake such work. In most cases, if the monitor is cracked, it will be cheaper and easier to buy a new TV set than to repair the old one.
