VINVERTH VH32A5 - LCD TV - My Service Experience - Today the 8th Jan:2015

Vinverth VH32A5 - LCD TV - Dead set_Liquid spilled inside.
Faults occurred.
> Fuse blown [4Amp 250v]
> MOSFET5N50C at the main power regulator board [SMPS] damaged.
SMPS PWB _ FSP180-4H02
Main DIGITAL BOARD_ TM30G-V1.0
  Before replacing the fuse with an other, checked all the other components at the SMPS board for further damage.  Nothing fount abnormal, except a short circuit at the DC [rectified] voltage noticed. Soldered out the switching MOSFET 5N50C.  No short circuit measured.  On checking, the plastic body of the MOSFET has burned out and carbon particles accumulated there, causing a conduction path through the fixing screw to the heat sink metal; at the screw point.  I've illustrated the damage occurred to MOSFET in detail here.  Very rare fault indeed.  Might be of arcing due to water spill inside the set; I assume.  Replaced the MOSFET with a new one, no short circuit detected, inserted the fuse, switched the set On; OK.
See the component location and occurred damage to it

SONY KDL22EX308 - KDL32EX308 Back-light Issues _ Check Points

KDL22EX308 - KDL32EX308 Back-light Issues _ Check Points - Sony LCD TVs.
BACK-LIGHT ISSUES
  Under normal circumstances, any failures in the back-lighting system will cause the unit to shut down. If one or more of the fluorescent back-lights fails to turn on, or if the high voltage inverter circuit fails to turn on, the unit will shut down and the standby LED will blink in groups of 6.  The first step to determine the cause of the failure is to observe the screen of the television when it is first turned on. If the back-lights turn on before the shutdown, it is likely that one of the lamps has failed to turn on and the LCD panel must be replaced.  If the back-lights do not turn on, the high voltage inverter did not start and, depending on the method of generating high voltage, replacement of the power supply or inverter board is necessary.
NO BACK-LIGHT_NO SHUT DOWN
  It is possible for a symptom of no back-lighting to occur that does not cause the television to go into protective shutdown. Dynamic dimming control of the back-lights is performed by monitoring information from the TCON board. This is in the form of data and determines the brightness level of the back-lights based on video content.  If the TCON fails to process the RGB video data, or if the dimmer data line fails, the back-lights will not turn on. Audio will be present if the selected input has it available. The television will remain on indefinitely with the green Power LED lit. If the TCON is available, it can be replaced to resolve the issue. If not, the LCD panel must be replaced.
Diagnostics History
Figure illustrates an example of the diagnostics history page. Entry to this page is achieved while the television is powered down and pressing the following buttons on the remote commander: “DISPLAY”, “5”, “VOL –“, “POWER”.  This feature is useful for failures which are intermittent or when the customer is not sure what is causing the television to shut down sometimes. Once a corrective action is determined the error events should be cleared to zero.  This is accomplished by pressing the “8” key followed by the “0” key on the remote commander.
  The drawing in Figure contains the board-to-board connector and pin information for the KDL22EX308 to identify voltages, signal and control
lines for troubleshooting purposes. Figure illustrates the same information for the KDL32EX308. All critical voltages and control signals are easily accessed at the power supply board. Use this drawing in conjunction with the previously discussed troubleshooting techniques and flowcharts for testing operating voltages and control signals.  Figure illustrates the rear of a KDL22EX308 with the cover removed.  The location of the major circuit boards and connectors for voltage checks is provided.
