Safety and Handling Regulations
1. Approximately 20 minute pre-run time is required before any adjustments are performed. 2. SMPS adjustments are factory sealed. They are VR301 (Frequency) and VR302 (Current) 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. Always handle the circuit boards on the outside edges while using ESD protection. 5. Exercise care when making voltage and waveform checks to prevent costly short circuits from damaging the unit. 6. Be cautious of loose screws and other metal objects to prevent a possible short in the circuitry.

Observe the following items

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 Diode Check 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 (Main Power Switch Type 1) Location

There are three types of Main Power switch used in LG televisions. 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.

Power Supply (SMPS) PWB Operational Troubleshooting

Power Supply Troubleshooting Ac voltage is supplied to the Power Supply at Connector SC100. This set does not use AC Detect. The AC input generates a Hot Ground primary power supply that runs in two states, Stand-By (168) and Run (380V) measured at Fuse F501. This primary voltage develops all other voltages that are output from the power supply. During Stand-By, the 5 Volt Standby should be present at connector P201, Pins 7,8,9 or 10. If Missing remove AC Power and unplug Connector P201, apply AC Power and recheck for presence of 5 Volt Standby. Loss of 5 Volt Standby would be a Power Supply Failure. Presence of 5 Volt Standby would be an indication of a failure on the Main Board or possibly the Front PWB (IR) assembly. Suspect a possible short circuit loading the supply. Remember to observe the Front Power Indicating LED this may save some time. A lit LED indicates the Stand-By 5V voltage is present! The Main Board sends two commands to the Power Supply Board one being PWR the other is INV ON. These two voltages are used to control the power on turn on sequence. First via PWR (Pin 2) also known as POWER ON, activates the internal Ballast voltage and the 24 Volt and 12 Volt lines to the Main board. The 2nd command is INV ON (P201 pin 20). It it the Lamp Lighting Command Signal. If either command (PWR-ON or INV-ON) is missing it will result in a no picture symptom. These voltages can easily be checked with the volt meter! Remove AC Power, unplug the two Connectors to the backlights P401/P402. Reapply AC Power and press the ON-OFF Button on either the Remote Control or Power Button on the Unit. Watch for the Power ON LED to change color from red to blue. This is an indication the PWR Signal was created on the the Main board. Check P700 or P201 pin 2 for the PWRON command (2.8V) to the Power Supply. Check P201 for 24V (Pins 17 or 18) and 12V (Pins 13 or 14). Confirm Pin 20 of P201 went to 3.3V. This is the INV ON signal needed to light the Lamps. Problems with either voltage can be easily solved by following the simple steps on the next page.

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 any of the pins 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 10K resistor between (5V STBY) pin 7, 8, 9 or 10 and Pin 2 (PWR). Apply AC. This will turn on the power supply. Check that the 24V and 12V power supplies are turned on, P201 (24V pins 17 and 18) (12V pins 13 and 14)

(2) Remove AC power.

Use P700 Side to insert resistors 28

February 2009 42LH20

TEST 2 Power Supply PWB Backlights Test

P700 Connector disconnected from the Main PWB. Apply AC after adding jumpers. Continue if the 1st test was successful. Leave original 10K resistor in place. (3) Add another 10K resistor between (5V) pin 7, 8, 9 or 10 and Pin 20 (INV On). (4) Apply AC Power. This simulates a Power On and Backlight On command. Observe the Backlights. a) If normal, the backlights should turn on. b) If the do not, recheck connectors P401 and P401. (Warning: Disconnect the AC Power first). These pins carry 1.2Kv when active. c) Confirm the INV On/Off line Pin 12 is going to at least 3V. d) If no backlight activity, SMPS is defective.

T-CON BOARD SECTION

LCD Controller Board

The T-Con IC UC1 receives from the Main Board at CN5 12 Bit LVDS Signals (Video) which it processes into TFT Drive Signals which through connectors CN3 and CN4 controls the LCD Panel. 12V is supplied to the T-Con Board on connector CN5 from the Main Board (easily measured at fuse F1). Diode LED1 is a boot up indicator and is helpful in troubleshooting as a quick indication of a loss of supply and or a Boot Up problem. There are two DC to DC converters that create (17V developed at the cathode of D14) and (3.3V developed at the cathode of D13). The 3.3V can also be measured at the ribbon connectors delivering signals to the TFT panel (CN3 pins 57, 58 or 59) and (CN4 pins 2, 3 or 4). February 2009 42LH20
