DIY eyelid TV repair for beginners

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

"There is a contact where it should not be (short circuit) and there is no contact where it should be (open circuit)."

I switched it on again by connecting a 200 W incandescent lamp instead of a fuse. I have such a lamp at home in a separate socket, from which there are wires with clips - crocodiles. This llama turns on as an indicator and current limiter in the circuit when setting up a device powered by 220 volts. If there is a short circuit in the device, in other words, its resistance is zero, the lamp lights up, as if it was connected directly to 220 volts. If the device is operating normally, then the lamp passes through itself the current necessary for the operation of the device, since in a cold state the resistance of the lamp filament is small.

The graph of the dependence of the lamp current on voltage, for example, lamps from lanterns

In this case, the lamp lit up, which signaled that there was a short circuit somewhere in the TV. In such cases, I usually start looking for a malfunction from the power supply. True, in this case, I first removed the posistor, its resistance corresponded to the norm. After the diode bridge was removed, it also turned out to be working. Then it was the turn to check the output transistor at the power supply microcircuit, so that the parallel soldered parts do not affect the measurement results, it was also soldered out.

Transistors are tested as follows: as you know, in simple terms, a bipolar transistor is 2 connected diodes, either cathodes or anodes, and can be easily called in the diode test mode by connecting, depending on the structure, either a red or a black tester probe to the base. The second probe touches in turn the collector and the emitter, if the tester displays the numbers about 800 - 900 in both cases, then the transistor is intact. True, it will not be superfluous to also check it in other directions, in order to be completely sure that it is serviceable.

The output transistor of this microcircuit Base - Emitter - Collector everyone called each other shortly in all directions. The cause of the short circuit was found and eliminated by replacing the microcircuit.

Also, several resistors were checked, (turned out to be intact) and replaced, just in case, on the advice of 3 electrolytic capacitors from the forum. All parts were bought for 100 rubles. After the microcircuit, diode bridge and posistor were soldered in place, the TV was turned on with a 200 W lamp connected instead of a fuse. Everything worked! But there was another problem, the image was dominated by red, which was also solved on the advice from the forum by adjusting the contour in 15 minutes.

Outcome: a working TV for 100 rubles, while the cost of repairing a TV in a TV workshop in our city starts from 700 rubles. Successful repairs to everyone! AKV.

You have visited the site "Telemasterskaya", the main focus, assistance in the repair of electronic equipment for novice radio amateurs, as well as for those who are carried away by electronics and are taking only the first steps in this direction.

However, it will also be useful for more "advanced" repairmen, since modern electronics is quite complicated and often even a good specialist spends a lot of time diagnosing a malfunction, and the site will help remind the main malfunctions of TVs or suggest solutions to new ones.

For novice radio amateurs on the site there are special headings “Let us know the world of electronics”, “Beginner radio amateurs” with published materials from which you need to start acquaintance with the fascinating world of electronics, these are radio components and their device, spare parts for repair, and where you can get them. There are also materials on the tools necessary for the repair (soldering irons, solder, etc.) In the "Devices" section, you can find information on the devices (oscilloscopes, millimeters) necessary to diagnose faults in household radio electronic equipment.

The quality of the image directly depends on the quality of the received signal, therefore, the topic of an antenna for a TV with reception of both analog and digital signals is necessarily touched upon. The device of antennas, what they are, which ones are better.

With the advent of "digital", video tape recorders very quickly became a thing of the past, so repair of DVD players and music centers will be considered.

The topic of the repair of automotive electronics will be touched upon, since there are also enough problems in this area. Car radios - cassette, disc, receivers, multimedia, they also break down. In addition, it is possible to revise old, but serviceable tape recorders and with such an upgrade, we extend the life of car radio electronics.

We will not ignore the news in the field of television, although it is rather difficult to follow them, everything is changing so quickly in this area. Since new TVs open up new opportunities, therefore, articles will be published on topics related to digital television (cable, satellite, digital terrestrial television DVB-T2).

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.

  1. 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 installedwhich must be handled with care so as not to break them.
  2. After removing the cover, you will see the power supply unit, consisting of several modules on the left, and the motherboard on the right.
  3. Image - DIY eyelid TV repair for beginners
  4. 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.
  5. 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 circuitby 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 condenserlocated 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 capacitorsto 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.
    Image - DIY eyelid TV repair for beginners
  • 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.

    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 eyelid TV repair for beginnersPhoto - 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 eyelid TV repair for beginnersPhoto - 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 eyelid TV repair for beginnersPhoto - 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.
