How to Repair LCD TV Auto Shutdown

Randomly
Model: LG 32LB9R-TB LCD TV
Symptom: The TV will Auto Shutdown Randomly

This is an LG 32LB9R-TB LCD TV. The problem was it will auto

shutdown after 5 minutes or 30 minutes, sometime after 1 hours then
power shutdown. When try to press again the TV power on switch, the Tv
will directly shutdown again or after few seconds.
When using table fan to blow the Power Supply board (PSU), and using a
piece of card board to block the wind blow to mainboard. The TV can last
2 hours still working properly. After that the table fan change to blow the
mainboard and the card board block the PSU. The TV was shutdown just
after about 8 minutes! This power supply board is an IP board, the part
number is: EAY38637401. Even change the table fan blow the PSU, the
TV can last longer to working!

With this method, we know that the problem was inside the power supply
board. So I can replace a working power supply board to solve this TV
problem. But I want to repair it in components level and want to find out
which component is causing the symptom like this.
Since we know that the problem was inside the PSU board, so we can
concentrate to testing or troubleshoot this board. Using the hot hair dryer to

blow the PSU board to find out which section is sensitive with the heat
blow and shutdown the TV. Before that, checking their ERR pin and it was
located in PSU board connector. Where the ERR pin features are to detect
any high temperature, abnormal current and voltage activity occurs and the
mainboard CPU will shutdown the TV to prevent any serious damage in it.
I found that their ERR pin voltage was starting (when power on the TV)
from 4.68V slowly drop to 3.19V. When the ERR pin voltage drop to
3.28V the TV will shutdown. Thats mean when ERR pin voltage drop to
3.28V, the TV will in protection mode (TV automatic shutdown) .So we
need to know which section is causing this voltage drop and causing the
TV in protection mode.
This PSU board is an IP board, so their inverter section was built-in into
the board. Inside this PSU board, it has PFC section, PWM section,
Voltage output section and the High Voltage section (inverter). So using the
hot hair dryer to blow to the PSU board carefully and found that the
inverter section was the culprit! After that using soldering iron and
freeze/Coolant to use interchangeably to testing their small components
inside the inverter section.
Finally found the Q311 (1A) smd NPN transistor was defective and it is
nearby the U302 (LM393). Replaced it with a H1A (2N3904) smd NPN
transistor and the TV working properly now.

After changed the Q311, the ERR pin voltage is about 3.53V. Even this TV
working about 9 hours, their ERR pin voltage still stable and its about
3.56V.
