PLASMA Overview Safety Rules
Safety & Handling Regulations
1. About 10 minute preparation is required before adjustment.

2. Higher voltage than is required for the product shouldn’t be applied.
3. Be cautious of electric shock for PDP module since PDP module uses high voltage, and it is
recommended that should one touch the drive circuit after one minute because of residual current.
4. Circuit drive has c-mos circuit which should be protected from static electricity.
5. Module must be carried by two people.
6. Be careful of short circuit when measuring voltage.
7. Be cautious of screws and other metal objects to pervent short in circuit part.
Checking Point before Requesting MODULE Repair
1. Check the appearance of Panel and board.

2. Check the model label if model names and board model matches.
3. Check details of defective condition and history.

Ex) COF long 2-1 fail, address 1 line open, Y b/d trouble, Maldischarge on screen.

Basic Information Types of Maldischarge
① Replace Y or Z B/D : Most maldischarge is caused by Y or Z.

If one B/D replacement doesn’t work, replace both B/D.
② Replace CTRL B/D : For maldischarge by signal process, replace CTRL B/D or
download S/W.

Basic Information Maldischarge
◆. Most maldischarge is caused by Y drv , Y-sus , Z-sus problems, and
can be checked as stated before.
Checking Order
1. Check Y, Z SUS signal cable
2. Y DRV IC FAIL check

If the tape is not removed you might not
have problems in the short run, but a claim

Time of Application : All items with Lot No. which was manufactured before March
Defect condition : HDD noise
Cause : HDD noise by using HDD for PC (P/N:6744B00040A)
Details of Change (Improvement) & Counterplan

Replace HDD for PC (P/N:6744B00040A) with low-noise HDD for A/V (P/N:6744B91953A).

Anti-Noise Cushion Being Off the Fan Others
When Checking Power off Anti-noise cushion is off the Fan

and rolled up into the Fan
Model : 50PB2DR
Condition : Power being turned off automatically in seconds
Cause : The cushion to prevent noise of fan is off the fan due to poor adhesion
and get into the fan resulting in power off
Measure : Put double-sided adhesive tape and attach to the fan

After attaching new cushion
#It is estimated that same problems will cause lots of troubles later
(Checking adhesive strength of tape is required)
