Collection How to Repair TCL LCD/LED TV

1. A TCL L43F3800A-MT07P Smart LED TV with Problem Cannot Boot/Start-up  

Author: iFix

A little busy recently, but someone send a Smart TV to me for repair, the TV model is TCL L43F3800A--MT07P.





Symptom: The indicator LED light up, but it can’t boot/start-up. The voltage output from power supply PSU is normal, so give the judgement that the fault location is on the main board.





For this TV main board, at the beginning, I can’t fix it yet. But recently I have learned more and repaired a lot, so I am already familiar with it. Remove the cover, and measure the power supply of all DC and LDO, all are normal. This TV, the memory model is Toshiba 5D1K, EMMC bad is a common problem, so I began to confidently deal with EMMC. There was a backup before, just take a piece of EMMC and write it offline through RT809H programmer.



Power on the TV mainboard, and have a test, but still same problem! After power on, although the LED indicator light on, there’s no flicker, which means that, the board is not working properly. Is there a problem with the chip or the welding? Do again, I take a chip to rewrite, and then install back, but the problem remains the same. What’s a pity, the judgment is wrong? It seems that I can’t rely on experience to repair the mainboard!



Let’s see the Print-Log (print information) of the mainboard, its TX, RX is at the USB interface. I forgot to take the picture, weld the transfer line, and connect to RT809F. Select the Serial Print to get their Print-Log information to find what the problem is occur in the TV mainboard. Below is the result read from their Print-Log:

===============================================

Is there a problem with the main chip MSTAR control? This print-log information doesn’t seem to be the same as any other board before, I was confused, so I decided to change the main chip, to see if it is work or not.



Unfortunately, the result is still same problem, it cannot work. If the problem just like what I do just now, it is so easy that there is no need to post. That’s my last method, consult with master Luo. Master Luo clearly pointed out it is the DDR communication failure! (For the Print-Log info, you can refer to the V5.0-OLED/LED/LCD TV Repair Tips ebook). So I start to measure right now, measure their network resistance value to ground. Normally, the network resistor all values must same. Then I found that one row is not normal. Every resistor is 380 or 0.380 (use multimeter DIODE range to measure), only one resistor is 670!



Disconnect the resistance and find out the abnormal point. After removing the resistance with the hot are gun, it was found that the resistor value of the abnormal one was 410 now, which was close to normal. It shows that the possibility of circuit loop-hole is very high. There is a significant resistance from the front to the bottom side of the mainboard circuit loop-hole. It seems that the problem has been found. Use the drill machine with the 0.25MM bit, the hole was perforated, and the bit was successfully left in the circuit loop-hole.





Pull out the sacrificial bit and find a fine copper wire to solder from top to the bottom/foil side as photo below:





Everything checks okay, after that power on the TV, the LED indicator light turns dark. Press the remote control power button, TV can start-up now with the light LED indicator. The programmers can show the print-log now and obviously getting normal. The Print-Log like below:

Since the print-log is so long, so that I omit it here. Installation back the mainboard to TV and it is show the image perfectly. Finally, connecting network to upgrade the latest version firmware of Mainboard, and it was repaired perfectly as photo below:






Conclusion:

If you didn’t have the knowledge on how the Tv works and how to troubleshoot/isolate TV problem, it will waste you lots of time and money spend on the chips and etc. So this TV mainboard case even is just their circuit loop-hole problem (spare part cost is just a wire only), but if you don’t know how to check or troubleshoot it, finally, I believe you will just replace a whole TV mainboard with expensive repair cost! For more details on the Print-Log information, please refer to V5.0-OLED/LED/LCD TV Repair Tips ebook.
