Introduction
<Introduction>
1. Basic concept of how to determine the defective board

1) Verification of voltages
Normally, when there is a power problem, shutdown occurs immediately.
So, to resolve a power problem, voltage checks are necessary before shutdown.
2) Check if the power comes up after disconnecting the board under suspicion.
If power comes up (*) after disconnecting a board, the board is defective.
(*) “Power comes up” equals “no shutdown”.
2. Troubleshooting Video and Audio problems
3. Examples of video problems
4. Adjustment after PCB exchange
1) After exchanging the following boards, voltage adjustment is required.
P board, SC board, SS board => Please refer to the “Service Manual”.

Diagnostic Method for Troubleshooting PDP Television

<Introduction>
1. There are two kinds of picture problem

1) Abnormal picture
2) No picture
2. Basic concept of determining the defective board
1) Which area is the symptom displayed on the screen?
A. Part of the screen
B. All over the screen
3. Adjustment after PCB exchange
1) After exchanging the following boards, voltage adjustment is required.

43 Revised 10/23/2008
Diagnosis by Test Pattern When OSD is Available

<Purpose>
Picture problem such as “Picture Noise and or Vertical Line” displayed all over the screen is mainly caused
by a defective D or A board. The “internal Test Pattern Generator” can help determine whether to replace the D
or A board. The test patterns are created by the D board. Follow the steps below to confirm the operation of the
D or A boards.
<Model> <Test Pattern (Normal)>
All Models White (by A) White (by D) Red Green

<Diagnosis>
Pattern Defective Board

Abnormal D Board Ramp blue
Normal DG Board (or D board)

Ramp red Ramp green
<How to enter the Test Pattern>
1. While pressing "VOLUME-" button of the TV set,
press "RECALL" button of the remote control three
times within 3 seconds. Scroll A and B zone Color bar 1% window
2. Push button "1 or 2" of the Remote Control and
select “Aging”. <Test Pattern (Abnormal)>
3. Press the number “3" button or the number “4” Example Picture
button of the Remote Control to select the test
pattern.
44 Revised 10/23/2008
Diagnosis by Removing the D5 Connector

<Purpose>
Symptom such as “No picture, No OSD, Sound OK” is mainly caused by a defective A or D board. The internal
pattern generator cannot be accessed due to the loss of OSD. This method makes it possible to determine
whether the DG board or the D (SC,SS) is defective.

<Block Diagram and Explanation>
1. This white pattern is generated by IC9900 on D board.
2. When the TV is plugged in after disconnecting connector D5, it turns on automatically and a white picture is
provided to the panel drive circuit.
If the panel drive section of the unit is ok, a white picture is automatically displayed by the PDP.
