Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the PW.210W2.981 power supply motherboard, designed for the Xiaomi L75M5-4S 75-inch LCD TV. Please read this manual carefully before attempting any installation or repair to ensure safe and correct handling of the component.
Setup and Installation
The PW.210W2.981 is a replacement power supply motherboard. Installation should only be performed by individuals with appropriate technical knowledge and experience in electronics repair, as it involves working with high voltage components. Always prioritize safety.
Safety Precautions
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning any work, ensure the TV is completely unplugged from the main power outlet.
- Discharge Capacitors: Power supply boards can store high voltage even after being unplugged. Allow sufficient time for capacitors to discharge or safely discharge them using appropriate tools.
- Wear Protective Gear: Use anti-static gloves and a wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to sensitive electronic components.
- Handle with Care: Avoid touching components directly with bare hands. Hold the board by its edges.
Installation Steps
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm that the replacement board model number (PW.210W2.981) matches the original board from your Xiaomi L75M5-4S TV.
- Access the TV Interior: Carefully remove the back panel of the TV to expose the internal components. Refer to your TV's service manual for specific instructions on panel removal.
- Locate the Old Power Board: Identify the existing power supply motherboard. It is typically a large board with numerous capacitors and transformers.
- Disconnect Cables: Systematically disconnect all cables connected to the old power board. Take photos or make notes of each connection point to aid reassembly. Pay close attention to the LED driver and 12V output connectors.
- Remove Old Board: Unscrew and carefully remove the old power supply board from the TV chassis.
- Install New Board: Place the new PW.210W2.981 board into position, ensuring it aligns with the mounting holes. Secure it with the appropriate screws.
- Reconnect Cables: Reconnect all cables to their correct positions on the new board. Double-check all connections for proper seating and orientation.
- Initial Test: Before reattaching the TV back panel, plug in the TV and perform a brief power-on test to ensure basic functionality. If the TV powers on correctly, unplug it again.
- Reassemble TV: Carefully reattach the TV back panel and secure all screws.

Operation
The PW.210W2.981 power supply motherboard functions as an internal component of the Xiaomi L75M5-4S LCD TV. Its operation is entirely integrated with the TV's system. Once correctly installed, it provides the necessary power to all TV components, including the main board, backlight, and audio systems. There are no user-operable controls directly on the power supply board itself.
Proper functioning of the TV (powering on, displaying images, producing sound) indicates the power supply board is operating as intended.
Maintenance
The power supply motherboard is a sealed electronic component and requires minimal user maintenance. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
- Keep Clean: Ensure the TV's internal environment remains free from excessive dust. Dust accumulation can lead to overheating and component failure. Periodically, with the TV unplugged, gently clean the interior with compressed air.
- Avoid Moisture: Protect the TV from liquids and high humidity, which can cause short circuits and corrosion.
- Ensure Ventilation: Do not block the TV's ventilation openings. Proper airflow is crucial for dissipating heat generated by the power supply and other components.
- Stable Power Supply: Connect the TV to a stable power source. Use surge protectors if your area experiences frequent power fluctuations.
Do not attempt to repair or modify the power supply board yourself if you are not qualified, as this can lead to further damage or personal injury.
Troubleshooting
If your Xiaomi L75M5-4S TV experiences power-related issues after installing the PW.210W2.981 board, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
Common Symptoms of Power Supply Issues
- TV does not turn on (no power indicator light).
- TV turns on but has no backlight (screen is dark, but sound may be present).
- TV turns on and off intermittently.
- TV makes clicking noises but fails to power on.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Check Power Connection: Ensure the TV's power cord is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the TV. Test the outlet with another device.
- Inspect Internal Connections: With the TV unplugged and safety precautions observed, carefully open the TV back panel and visually inspect all cable connections to the power supply board. Ensure they are firmly seated and correctly oriented.
- Look for Visible Damage: Check the power board for any signs of burnt components, bulging capacitors, or loose connections.
- Verify Board Model: Double-check that the installed board is indeed the correct model (PW.210W2.981) for your TV.
- Consult a Professional: If the issue persists after checking basic connections and there are no obvious signs of damage, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified TV repair technician. Attempting complex repairs without proper tools and knowledge can be dangerous and may cause further damage.
