SECTION 1: LCD OVERVIEW

Safety & Handling Regulations
1. Approximately 20 minute pre-run time is required before any adjustments are performed. 2. Refer to the Voltage Sticker on the Switch Mode Power Supply silk screening. (+/- volt).

Troubleshooting

3. Be cautious of electric shock from the Backlight section, it uses high voltage AC. Check that the Power Supply and Drive Circuits are completely discharged because of residual current stored before Circuit Board removal. 4. 5. 6. C-MOS circuits are sensitive to static electricity. Use caution when dealing with these IC and circuits. Exercise care when making voltage and waveform checks to prevent costly short circuits from damaging the unit. Be cautious of lost screws and other metal objects to prevent a possible short in the circuitry.

Checking Points to be Considered

1. Check the appearance of the Replacement Panel and Circuit Boards for both physical damage and part number accuracy. 2. Check the model label. Verify model names and board model matches. 3. Check details of defective condition and history. Example: Oscillator failure dead set, etc

LCD DV

42LG60

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

Define, Localize, Isolate and Correct

Define Look at the symptom carefully and determine what circuits could be causing the failure. Use your senses Sight, Smell, Touch and Hearing. Look for burned parts and check for possible overheated components. Capacitors will sometimes leak dielectric material and give off a distinct odor. Frequency of power supplies will change with the load, or listen for relay closing etc. Observation of the front Power LED may give some clues. Localize After carefully checking the symptom and determining the circuits to be checked and after giving a thorough examination using your senses the first check should always be the DC Supply Voltages to those circuits under test. Always confirm the supplies are not only the proper level but be sure they are noise free. If the supplies are missing check the resistance for possible short circuits. Isolate To further isolate the failure, check for the proper waveforms with the Oscilloscope to make a final determination of the failure. Look for correct Amplitude Phasing and Timing of the signals also check for the proper Duty Cycle of the signals. Sometimes glitches or road bumps will be an indication of an imminent failure. Correct The final step is to correct the problem. Be careful of ESD and make sure to check the DC Supplies for proper levels. Make all necessary adjustments and lastly always perform a Safety AC Leakage Test before returning the product back to the Customer.

42LG60

Power Supply PWB Test (2nd Test All Including Backlights)

P2 Connector disconnected from the Main PWB. Apply AC after adding jumpers.

If the 1st test was successful, continue. Leave original 10K in place. (2): Test the Backlights, jump Pin 19 (PWR) to Pin 20 (INV) and apply AC Power to the PWB. Observe the Backlights. If normal, the backlights should turn on and off 4 times then go off. If only the backlights light, (Right side or Left Side), confirm connectors are OK. Check Transformer Left and Right center pins for signal. If OK, panel defective, backlight failure. If pulse is missing on one side (L or R Center) of the transformer, power supply defective. If no backlight activity, confirm the Fuse F700 has approx. 300V on both sides. If only on one side, check fuse for open. If no 300V, replace Power Supply. If 300V DC is present, observe the L and R center legs on the left hand side of ballast transformer T701. Look for 58Khz pulse at 8.7V p/p. If yes, confirm connectors to backlight OK. If OK, then panel is defective. If no pulse is found, replace the Power Supply.

Control PWB IC101 Info

Troubleshooting

The Control PWB contains the MICRONAS chip IC101. This IC is a Full-HD Rate Converter with Motion Blur Removal and Film DeJuddering for 1080p 100/120 Hz LCD panels. Vector Based Motion Compensation with Frame Rate Conversion
(eliminates the need for 3:2 Pull Down)

Dual 10 bit LVDS input Quadruple 12 bit LVDS output Motion Blur Removal increases the video frames by Interpolating a new image frame between each original frame (Motion Estimated Data Insertion) MEDI. Juddering is a phenomenon which appears on film based programming due to the 24 frames per second system used for recording, the picture develops visual artifacts when converted to 60 frames per second. 3:2 Pull Down was developed to eliminate this problem. Frame Rate Conversion (Real Cinema) eliminates the need for 3:2 Pull Down. 33 LCD DV 42LG60

TruMotion 120Hz ( Vector Based Motion Compensation)

TruMotion 120 Hz can reduce blurring on fast moving scenes. TruMotion carefully analyses the picture signal by using advanced algorithms to automatically calculate a new image frame between each original frame (MEDI).

1st short either pin 9, 10, 11 or 12 (5V) to Pin 19 (PWR) using a 10K resistor. This turns on the power supply. 2nd: To test the Backlights, jump Pin 20 (INV) to Pin 19 (PWR) Observe the Backlights. If normal, the backlights should turn on and off 4 times. Then they go off. If only the backlights light, (Right side or Left Side), confirm connectors are OK. If yes, panel defective. If no backlight activity, confirm the Fuse F700 has approx. 300V on both sides. If on one side, check fuse for open. If no 300V, replace Power Supply. If 300V present, observe the center leg on the left hand side of ballast transformer T701. Look for 45Khz pulse at 8.7V p/p. If yes, confirm connectors to backlight OK, if OK, then panel defective. If no pulse, replace the Power Supply.
