How to troubleshoot Sony Bravia WAX Chassis (LCD) TV - Repair Tips

Power supply
TV does not turn on:
> The first check that must be made is to check that the red LED, located on the front panel of the appliance is switched on.
Confirm the 5V Standby voltage on the connector CN6203 - pin 1 (PCI G2)

TV does not have standby voltage 5V:
> Confirm the voltage of 170V (at 110V) or 308V (at 220V) at pin 5 of the IC6300. It is voltage is required for the startup of the IC6300. If there is no voltage on pin 5, check the F6000 fuse, the D6300 rectifier bridge, and the TH6300 thermistor.
> Confirm the 16.1V voltage on pin 2 of the IC6300. This tension should remain constant. If the voltage increases and the appliance switches off immediately, the IC6300 must not be controlling the working frequency of the T6300 transformer;
> Confirm the frequency of pins 7 and 8 of the IC6300 relative to GND - pin 3. This should be at approximately 100 to 120KHz. If it is too high below this range, then there is a problem on some secondary line of feedback;
> Confirm the voltage of 1.1V on pin 4 of the IC6300. In normal operation, this pin must be approximately 1.1V. This voltage is directly related to the output voltage of 5V. If a short circuit occurs in the 5V line, the voltage on pin 4 will decrease. Case an overvoltage problem arising from a defect in the feedback line occurs, the voltage on pin 4 will increase. Even if the feedback line is open, the frequency will increase greatly.
You can work with the device's separate standby source. To do this, you must turn off the and disconnect the CN6203 connector. Power the standby source with an AC voltage and check the items described earlier. If the voltages are normal, there is a transformer secondary load problem T6300. That is, some short or consumption on the StandBy 5V line, which is connected to the A3U board.
If the PH6300 photo-coupler is experiencing problems, the IC6300 will not StandBy voltage. To isolate the photo-coupler, we must ground the resistor R6306 or short circuit pins 3 and 4 of the photocell PH6300. In doing so, the IC6300 should its working frequency to 4 KHz and the secondary voltage of the T6300 transformer
(STANDBY 5V) will be 2.8 volts.
b) TV has standby voltage 5V:
> Confirm 5V voltage through CN1003 - pin 9 (PCI B);
> Confirm the 3.3V voltage through the FL1001
> Confirm the 3.3V voltage (reset) through the IC1001 - pino92
> Confirm the XTAL1001's 16.15MHz waveform (System Clock)
> Confirm that when the TV is switched on using the POWER button, the voltage on the CN1007 - pin2 drops from 3.3V to 0V.
Power On:
> Confirm that the DC level "POWER1" is released by the IC1001 - pin7, measure JL1072
> Confirm the 2.9V DC level on the CN6203 - pin3
> Confirm the unregulated voltages of 15V, 33V, 10.5V through the CN6200 and the voltage regulated from 17.5 in CN6202. After the power supply oscillator has run voltages appear on the CN6200 and CN6202 connectors, the microprocessor releases the Power2, Power3 and Power4 signals to release regulator voltages.
Power Supply.
Confirming operation of primary power supply
> Confirm the 5V standby voltage. This step is necessary since the IC6300 must be powered with a voltage of 16.2V - VC1. This 16.2V voltage is produced from the 5V Standby Voltage;
> Confirm that there is voltage rectified after the D6000 rectifier bridge;
• Does the green LED light up when the appliance is switched on?
* If the Green LED lights up after pressing the POWER button, the microprocessor has received the drive command and is running correctly;
* If the Green LED does not light after pressing the POWER button, it indicates that there is some problem with the microprocessor
> Confirm that the signal from POWER 1 (Power ON) went to 2.9V on the connector CN6203 - pin 3;
> Confirm all voltages from the primary main power supply:
or regulated 17.5V;
or unregulated 10.5V, 15V and 17.5V.
2. Confirming operation of the secondary main power supply
> Confirm the 5V standby voltage. This step is necessary since the IC6300 must be powered with a voltage of 16.2V - VC1. This 16.2V voltage is produced from the 5V Standby Voltage.
> Confirm the existence of primary mains supply voltages:
or regulated 17.5V; the unregulated 10.5V, 15V, 17.5V and 33V.
> Check PS8501 (D5V) and PS8551 (Panel);
> Confirm the Power 2, Power 3 and Power 4 signals go high (3.2V) at the connector CN9401 - pins 41, 43 and 44;

> Confirm the output voltages: D5V, A9V, PANEL 5V.
Protections
According to item 13 of the Technical Training handbook 01/06, there are 5 protections in the chassis WAX - BRAVIA line:
1. DC ALERT 1- PANEL_5V
> Confirm via IC1001 / pin 44 (JL1055) if there is a voltage of 3.1V - DCALERT1;
a) Television has no voltage of 3.1V (Protection of DCALERT1 triggered);
> Confirm the regulated voltage of 17.5V through the CN6200 / pins1 to 5;
> Confirm the 5V voltage through the IC8552 / pin2 (A3U board)
2. DC ALERT 2 - A_9V
> Confirm via IC1001 / pin 45 (JL1054) if there is a 3.2V voltage - DCALERT2
a) Television has no voltage of 3.2V (DCALERT2 protection activated);
> Confirm the A9V power supply via the CN9405 / pin4 (A3U board);
b) If you do not have A9V power:
> Check the 9V regulator - IC8653
> Confirm regulated voltage of 10.5V via CN8601 / pin 9 or 10 (A3U board)
3. DC ALERT 3 - AU_15V
> Confirm via IC1001 / pino51 (JL1057) if there is a voltage of 3.2V - DCALERT3
a) Television has no 3.2V voltage (DCALERT3 protection on);
> Confirm via CN8601 / pins 13 or 14 if there is a voltage of 15.7V (AU15V)
> If you do not find the 15.7V voltage, check the power source, which should not be to be oscillating.
 Back Light
> Confirm via CN8603 / pin5 if there is voltage of 3.1V - BackLight;
a) Television has no voltage of 3.1V;
> Confirm via CN6203 / pin4 if there is a voltage drop of the Acc OF Det (0V) line;
b) Television has a voltage of 3.1V;
• Confirm via CN8603 / pin4 if there is a voltage of 2.3V (A3U board) – PANEL DET. If the Panel_Det signal does not exist, the LCD panel assembly may be defect;
5. Abnormal Voltage on Power Supply
• Confirm the regulated voltage of 17.5V on pin 1 of the CN1003 connector, located on the
B. If this voltage decreases (below 10V) or increases (above 23V), the microprocessor receives a sample of this voltage on pin 121 of the microprocessor and triggers protection.
6. Abnormal voltage in Speakers
• Confirm via R7813 or Q7744 collector if there is a voltage of 2.8V A3U)
a) Television does not have voltage of 2.8V;
• Confirm that there is a DC level on the audio output.
7. High Internal Temperature
There is a sensor on the B board, which monitors the internal temperature of the appliance. This sensor composed of IC1007, which communicates with the microprocessor through the Data and Clock communication (pins 1 and 2 of IC1007).
When this protection is activated, the device switches off and the LED flashes 7 times.

If the tact switch is pressed, the corresponding asterisk mark on the MR16 LCD will go out. If not, the tact switch might be worn out and be replaced.
After all the tact switches are confirmed to be in good contact, the display on the right will appear on the MR16 LCD.
Bus Check
This menu checks if various bus signals connected to the CPU are correctly working or not.
1) After selecting the “Bus Check” menu, connect the foot SW to the foot SW jack and the USB cable between the USB and USB HOST ports.
2) Press the [MENU/ENTER] dial to initiate the Bus Check mode.
 AUDIO BUS
The AUDIO BUS setting is fixed at “THRU” in this menu. In the
“THRU” setting, the A/D and D/A converters are internally connected. Also the CHAN A/C and B/D PAN setting are set to left and right respectively. Thus, the signals fed to CHAN A and C are summed and output from the STEREO OUT L and the signal fed to CHAN B and D are summed and output from the STEREO OUT R.
This mode is convenient when checking the input circuit.
ATA BUS
The “OK” sign indicates that the ATA bus communication between the internal HD and the CPU is properly made. If the “NG” sign appears, something must be wrong with the ATA bus communication.
INPUT SEL
The “INPUT SEL” indicates the number corresponding to the INPUT A SELECT switch setting as follow.
GTR CLEAR: 2
GTR DISTORTION: 1
MIC/LINE: 3
 FOOT SW
When an unlatched type foot switch is connected and it is pressed, the “ON” indication will appear. If the foot switch is released or is not connected, the “OFF” sign will appear.
 USB BUS
If the “USB BUS” section indicates the “OK” sign 3 ~ 5 seconds after the “WAIT..” sign is displayed, the USB HOST function works properly. If the “NG” sign is displayed, press the [MENU/ENTER]
dial and then try to enter the Bus Check mode again by pressing the [MENU/ENTER] dial.
 ATAPI BUS
The “OK” sign indicates that the ATAPI bus communication between the CD-R/RW drive and the CPU is properly made. If the “NG” sign appears, something must be wrong with the ATAPI bus communication.

BN44-00192A – Samsung Universal Power supply for LCD TVs – circuit diagram and working principle

The BN44-00192A is used on Samsung LCD TVs with panel diagonal size of 26 and 32 inches.
Used: STR-A6159, MC33067, TDA4863G
The circuit can be divided into the following areas:
* Power Factor Corrector (PFC or PFC - Power Factor Correction);
* Power supply;
* Work energy source;
Consider the circuits of these nodes in more detail.
Power Factor Correction
The Power Factor Correction (PFC) serves to eliminate the harmonics in the input circuit that the Rectifier diodes make together with the electrolytic capacitor of the IIP network rectifier filter.
In the absence or malfunction of the PFC and the input filters, the current in the rectifier network is only at short intervals of the capacitor load time, when the amplitude value of the voltage is equal to the voltage in the capacitor and the current consumed takes the form of short pulses with amplitude of several amps.
Details of current distortion and Power Factor (CM or PF - Power Factor) in rectifiers are considered on the page of a full-wave rectifier.
Due to the negative effects of harmonics in the electrical network, manufacturers incorporate a PFC circuit, active or passive depending on the power, according to the European standard of electrical compatibility EN 61000-3-2 for Class D devices.
As a result of the operation of the PFC module of the active device BN44-00192, the current in the input is forced by the LP801 blocker, the QP801S electrical switch and the DP802 diode, which are the of the step-up  converter.
The switch is controlled by the ICP801S PWM controller and, in addition to providing a stable output capacitor, generates a current during the period in the form of a set of short pulses whose amplitude is determined taking into account the internal multiplier (multiplexer) of the input and output.
In this case, the line of received current pulses repeats the form of the rectified grid voltage applied at the 100 Hz frequency applied to the accelerator.  
The frequency of the current pulses generated by the device is within tens of kilohertz and is partially filtered by the CP801 0.47 uF capacitor at the PFC input.
Finally, the highest current harmonics are separated from the network by an input filter using two parallel coils. As a result, the current in the input circuit acquires a shape close to the sinusoidal and the power factor of the power module becomes close to 100%.
The PFC device is connected simultaneously with the working power supply, changing the voltage M_Vcc on pin 8 of the ICP801S controller.
 In the standby mode, the active PFC does not work and the rectified grid voltage (+311 V) of the diode bridge passes through the diode DP801 to the filter capacitor. With low loads, there are input filters sufficient to filter the harmonics, which are essentially passive PFC (CMC)
Standby power.
The unit is implemented according to the "controller controlled" flyback converter scheme PWM ICB801S. 
The drive operates at a fixed frequency of 55-67 kHz and generates a stable 5.2 V at the output with a load current of up to 0.6 A to power the control processor in the PWM chips from the main source and PFC in the operating mode.
The transition from the standby mode of the TV to the working mode is carried out by switching the 5.2 V the transistor switch QB802. 
In this case, the supply voltage M_Vcc goes to the controllers PWM ICP801S and ICM801, simultaneously initiating the PFC node and the main power supply.
Operational power supply
The source is a front transducer made by a half bridge circuit and generates the following voltages stabilized on output:
  24V to turn on the inverter display.
  13 V.
  12 V.
  5.3 V for Main_Board supply, obtained by means of the 24 V rectifier step-down converter.
Typical malfunctions
Known popular defects of this module are:
# Malfunction of secondary rectifier filter capacitors.
# Crack formation in the welds (Solder points)   of transistor QB802, which connects the M_Vcc power supply of the standby mode.
Less common defects:
# Disaggregation of working source switch transistors (QM801, QM802) and breaker resistor RM801 due to a mode violation when working with faulty capacitors from its secondary rectifiers.
# Overheating of the forementioned key transistors due to the malfunction of the capacitor CM801 of the master oscillator PWM due to a change in frequency of the inverter operation.
