content: Your luck would be to put a new pcb in it ? You have a few on Ebay but pricy ??For the defective firmware card , unless one of the company name you provided could tell you how to recover a bad firmware update, or even find if the board has a jtag (programming port / pins) you wont be able to do anything. Sometime you need specialized software to do that.Do you have a service center for this Kind of tv ?Even if you have a reset pin on the board, not sure it is a firmware reset / or a back to original mode ??Schematics, Not foundYou have: HAIER 32E3000 MAIN BOARD MS33931-ZC01-01 who seems to have the same main board .. 32E seriesMainboard for sale :https://quicktvparts.com/products/haier-32e3000-main-board-ms33931-zc01-01-- 96$ usdhttps://www.tampaelectronicfix.com/product-page/ms33931-zc01-01-main-board-2010008913-- 50$ usdhttps://www.shopjimmy.com/es/jvc-main-board-for-lt-32em75.htm-- very low price -- 29$ usd for the board ?https://torrestvrepairparts.com/products/haier-ms33931-zc01-01-powermain-board-- 36$ usdhttps://www.tvpartsguy.com/haier-main-board-ms33931-zc01-01-2010009540/-- 40$ usdThis one at 22$ usd but zero in stockhttps://www.tvrepairtips.org/haier-2010009418-main-board-power-supply-32e3000-- they say you have to check if you have if 2010009418 is printed on a sticker on your original board.Seems the same model : Skyworth 32E3000 or JVC LT-32EM75 or Quasar Sq3203mUser guidehttps://img.hsni.com/images/content/pdf/470523_UserGuide.pdfOn some tv's or any appliance, you may found an eeprom on the board, sometime with an programmer you can or could do a reprogramming ...

content: Quotethank you for your replylooks like its a "beyond economical repair" as its only a cheap 2 yr old Chinese $200 TVI was looking for a way to save on having to buy parts for it . or a way get it to work as a video monitor at no added cost.here is one more image. and that shows the modal number is G32TV15 not GE6930 as a site did say TV pcb MS33931-ZC01-01 was from a GE6930but the back of the set says G32TV15 when I did check it a second time

content: For rewriting the firmware it looks like you're out of luck.It could be worth the little bother of checking PS voltages though. 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V whatever there is on your PCB.Check they are in close tolerance with expected values and that ripple is low. I've seen a few cases where this caused curious problems.

content: Sure having a schematic makes things easier, unfortunately for this class of junk you'd be really lucky to find it.For checking PS rails you can usually find them by probing around LDO / switching regulators, wider traces and large MLCC's are another hint to where the power rails may be.
