SECTION 1: LCD DIRECT VIEW OVERVIEW

Safety and 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).
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. C-MOS circuits are sensitive to static electricity.
Use caution when dealing with these IC and circuits.
5. Exercise care when making voltage and waveform checks to prevent costly short circuits
from damaging the unit.
6. 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

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

Define, Localize, Isolate and Correct
Look at the symptom carefully and determine what circuits could be causing
Define
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.

POWER SUPPLY SECTION

This switch mode power supply has the ballast section built in.
The power supply develops Stand By 5V, 12V and 24V for the Main
board.
This power supply draws a little less that 1 watt during stand
by mode. The fuse F501 reads 157V (from hot ground) during
this time. When the controller chip (on the back) receives the
PWR-ON command via P201 Pin 19, the primary section
increases its current supplying ability. The Primary fuse F501
now reads 380V.
12V is routed out P201 pins 5 and 6 and
24V is routed out P201 pins 1 and 2.
Internally, the power supply also sends B+ (390V) voltage to
the Ballast section but it is not turned on at this time.
When the power supply receives the INV-ON command via
P201 pin 20, it is routed to the driver for the ballast (on the
back of the board). The driver now starts to deliver drive
information to the output FETs (on the far left hand heat sink)
which in turn switch the primary sides of the two ballast
transformers T703 and T704. They output 1.2Kv (48Khz)
pulses to the backlights via P401 and P402.

Power Supply (Main Power Switch Type 1) Location

There are three types of Main Power switch used in LG televisions. This set utilizes Type 1.
Type 1:
Shuts off AC to the Power Supply.
Type 2:
Opens ground to the front IR board. (Stand-By 5V Remains, the Main board stays alive).
This prevents any activity of the IR or the Key Board. When the Switch is opened, a line called
Power Key pulls up high when ground opens. When the switch is closed, this same line called
Power Key feeds back to the Microprocessor and the Micro. Turns on the Power.
Type 3:
Opens ground to the front IR board. (Stand-By 5V turns off, the Main board is dead).
This prevents any activity of the IR or the Key Board. When the Switch is opened, a line called
Power Key pulls up high when ground opens. This line feeds back to the Main board and from
there it routes to the Power Supply. The high tells the Controller chip to turn off STBY-5V.
When the switch is closed, this same line called Power Key now goes high and feeds back to
the Power Supply and tells the controller chip to turn STBY-5V on.
If the TV wont come on, be sure to check the Main

Power Switch before assuming a failure has occurred.
This switch breaks AC to the SMPS.

TEST 1 Power Supply PWB Low Voltage Test

AC Should not be applied at any time while adding resistors or while
unplugging connectors as damage to the circuit PWB may occur.
a) The SMPS PWB MUST be producing STBY 5V on either pin 7, 8,
9 or 10 (5V).
If 5V Standby is not being generated, the SMPS PWB is defective and
must be replaced. There is no need to continue with the next test.
(b) Unplug P700 on the Main PWB.
TEST 1:
(1) Add a 100 resistor between (5V STBY) pin 7, 8, 9 or 10 and Pin 2

MAIN PWB SECTION

The Main PWB also contains the T-CON (TFT Driver) section. This set does not use a normal T-CON
board.
There are two LVDS cable feeds that go directly to the Panel. These carry the TruMotion 120Hz duel
12 bit LVDS, (video signal) that has already been prepared for the panel drivers.
The Main board receives its operational B+ from the Power Supply via P700.

FRONT CONTROL (IR and INTELLIGENT SENSOR) SECTION

The Front Control PWB (located on the bottom left as viewed from the rear) contains the IR (Infrared
Remote Sensor) and the Intelligent Sensor plus the front Power LEDs.
This board also connects with the Side Key PWB.
This board receives it operating B+ via pin 6 (STBY 5V) and pin 11 (STBY 3.3V) on connector P1.
It is received from the Main PWB via the connector P1200.
The Intelligent Sensor communicates with the Video Processor IC100 via clock and data lines on the
same connector pins 1 and 2.
The IR pulses (5V p/p) are sent to the Microprocessor (same IC100) via pin 9.
The Key board connector P3000 is routed to the Ft control board via P2. Then through the front
Control board and out P2 to the Microprocessor via P1200 pins 4 and 5.
Finally, the front Power LEDs are controlled by pin 12 and pin 8.
