Normally all repair job workers wants to bypass all circuits in easy way.

Very first understand that you are not a manufactures. Design a good working module is not your job.  So please know or learn a basic working principle of hard working engineers design and do only repair work no modification.

Here I explain only repair work tips and risk is yours, if you didn’t know basic of that PCB don’t try to repair it.  

Backlight drive stop working when iSense is changed or abnormal or mismatched. Detected by backlight drive IC, called as invertor or LED driver. Detection pin mark as above image. Just like in invertor for fluorescent tube backlight TIMER or OVP, and in LED backlight driver SS, SST, CMP, CP, RT, FT, SCP

When fault occurs in backlight section voltage difference is measured on this pins which one you find in drive IC datasheet, you find one or two names in drive IC datasheet.

CLK – CMD – D0

Here I describe how to find eMMC pin out like CLK, CMD & D0 using simple Digital Multi Meter. This technique Very first introduce and explained in my Training Seminar at  SASAN SEMINAR 2018  conducted by Gorani Learning Center – Trainer Anil Gorani

Now this simple method/technique explained in all Training Seminars.

          Only 4 steps and you can successfully find/identify on 9 out of 10 mother boards with this simple method.

step 1

Identify eMMC chip by it’s connection tracks, from eMMC to Main Processor IC on main board.

• You find 13 connection tracks.
• 2 tracks –  Supply and Ground
• 3 tracks – CLK, CMD and VCCQ or RESET
• 8 tracks – DATA lines ( D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6 & D7 )

step 2

• Check supply – it’s 3.3v or 1.8v at input supply line.

step 3

Now try to check voltage reading on 3 tracks randomly

• If you get HALF value of supply then that point mark for CLK

1. If supply is 3.3v then CLK point reading shows 1.5v to 1.8v
2. If supply is 1.8v then CLK point reading shows 0.7v to 0.9v

• If you get LESS value of supply then that point mark for CMDJust like if supply is 3.3v then DMM show 3.26v OR if supply is 1.8v then DMM show 1.76v.

If meter reading equal to supply 3.3v or 1.8v then that track should be VCCQ or RESET.

step 4

Now D0 is hidden in 8 DATA line tracks. mostly it’s located on forth (4) number of track. Joint your D0 ISP connection and start to read software.

if you get READ TIMEOUT error change it to left or right. And try.

• With this simple voltage reading method you can find any eMMC chip ISP point to software programing…

In Sony sets mainboard processor connected with panel memory chip with bus line for panel ID. If this bus line is damage or panel id change then main board activate error blink and switch off in stand by mode.

Some time indicates GREEN and AMBER led blinks that means panel id is not matched, in this case you have to update mainboard software by USB stick. Get this update software from Sony Official Website.

If bus line damage then indicates 5 time RED led blink. This situation also you face when you replace a new panel with same panel number or other locally available panel. In this case original panel id memory chip required to fix at mainboard as per above image. Fix that original chip using 4 connections,

1.  3.3v  at pin no. 8

2. Ground wire

3. SDA connection from pin no. 5

4. SCL connection from pin no. 6

Or copy original chip data and paste it in new chip and fix it on mainboard as  shown in above image.
