ESD (Electrostatic Static Discharge)
Todays sophisticated electronics are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. ESD can weaken or damage
the electronics in a manner that renders them inoperative or reduces the time until their next failure.
Connect an ESD wrist strap to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the product. Alternatively,
you can touch your finger repeatedly to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the product. Before
removing a replacement part from its package, touch the anti
anti-static
static bag to a ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the product. Handle the electronic control assembly by its edges only. When
repackaging a failed electronic control assembly in an anti-static bag, observe these same precautions.
Regulatory
l Information
f
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed g to p
provide reasonable p
protection against
g harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate
the receiving antenna; Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver; Connect the
equipment to an outlet on a different circuit than that to which the receiver is connected; or consult the
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Safety and Handling, Checking Points
Safety & Handling Regulations
1. Approximately 10 minute pre-run time is required before any adjustments are performed.
2. Refer to the Voltage Sticker inside the Panel when making adjustments on the Power Supply, Y-SUS and Z-SUS Boards.
3. Always adjust to the specified voltage level (+/- volt) unless otherwise specified.
4. Be cautious off electric shock from
f the PDP module since the PDP module uses high voltage, check that the Power Supply
S
and Drive Circuits are completely discharged because of residual current stored before Circuit Board removal.
4. C-MOS circuits are used extensively for processing the Drive Signals and should be protected from static electricity.
5. The PDP Module must be carried by two people. Always carry vertical NOT horizontal.
6. The Plasma television should be transported vertically NOT horizontally.
7. Exercise care when making voltage and waveform checks to prevent costly short circuits from damaging the unit.
8. Be cautious of lost screws and other metal objects to prevent a possible short in the circuitry.
9. New Panels and Frames are much thinner than p previous models. Be Careful with flexing
g these p
panels. Be careful
with lifting Panels from a horizontal position. Damage to the Frame mounts or panel can occur.
10. New Plasma models have much thinner cabinet assemblies and mounts.
Be extremely careful when moving the set around as damage can occur.
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: Y-SUS or Y-Drive Board Failure, Mal-discharge on screen, etc.

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 p
possible overheated components.
p Capacitors
p 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 LEDs may give some clues.
Localize After carefullyy checking g the symptom

y p and determining g 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 p
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 g of the signals
g also check for the pproper
p Duty y Cycle
y of the signals.
g 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 necessaryy adjustments
j and lastly
y always
y
perform a Safety AC Leakage Test before returning the product back to the Customer.

3D SECTION AND 3D TROUBLESHOOTING
This section will give you an

understanding of 3D as it relates to
Televisions.
This section also includes 3D

troubleshooting.
Note: The 3D Glasses must be mated

To the Television so that multiple TVs
Can operate in the same room with different glasses synchronized to the correct TV
TV.
HOW TO CONNECT THE 3D GLASSES
When initially switched on,

on the device will automatically be connected to the TV with the
strongest signal.
HOW TO RECONNECT THE 3D GLASSES
Press the power button for over eight seconds.
Release the button when the green LED light turns on. Then, you will see the green light blink
three times before the device is switched off. If you switch the power on again, the glasses will
be connected to the TV or PROJECTOR with the strongest signal.

3D Fundamentals (What is 3D?) From the Human Perspective
Each eye looks at an image from slightly different angles. Therefore, the brain takes these two different
images and translates them into one image giving us depth perception. This is difficult to reproduce on a
2 dimensional screen.

two different angles giving us 3D effects.
If the two images

brain doing the calculations to combine them, they
would appear out of focus.
Note: The Left and Right eye are actually seeing the same image but from a different angle, but for this
explanation one is shown inverted from the other for clarity purposes simply to show there is a difference
between the two images seen by each eye.

3D Fundamentals (What is 3D?) From the Electronic Perspective
Each Camera looks at an image from slightly different angles. Each camera generates its own video,

Power Supply Basic Operation
AC Voltage is supplied to the SMPS Board at Connector SC101 from the AC Input assembly. Rectified by the Bridge
rectifier D101 generates a primary B+. The Power factor circuit generates a Primary supply which can be read at Fuse F301
and F302 160V. This p primaryy voltage
g is routed through
g T901 and routed to the Standbyy 5V supply.
pp y The STBY5V ((standby)
y) is
B+ for the Controller chip on the back of the board (IC701) on the SMPS and output at P813 pins 13 and 14 then sent to the
Main board for Microprocessor (IC101) operation (STBY 3.46V RUN 5.16V). The Main board will receive +5V_ST (STBY
3.46V RUN 5.16V) which is sent to the +3.3V_ST regulator IC500. The 3.3V_ST is used by the Micro circuitry.
When the Microprocessor (IC101) on the Main Board receives a POWER ON Command from either the Power button
or the
th R Remotet IR Si
Signal,l it outputs
t t a hi
high
h (2
(2.22V)

ll d RL_ON
RL ON att Pin
Pi 15 off P813.
P813 This
Thi command d causes the
th RRelay
l Ci
Circuitit
to close RL103 which allows the primary voltage to the PFC circuit (Power Factor Controller) to rise to 390V which can be
read measuring voltage at Fuses F301 and F302 from Hot Ground. AC Detection (AC Det) is generated on the SMPS, by
rectifying a small sample of the A/C Line and routed to the Controller (IC701) where it outputs at P813 pin 16 (4.15V) and
sent to P601 to the Main Board where it is sensed by the Audio Processor IC700 pin 23.
When RL_ON
RL ON arrives,
arrives the run voltage +5V source becomes active and is sent out P813 (5 (5.16V
16V at pin 55, 6 and 7) to the
Main Board P501. The (Error Det) from the SMPS Board to the Main Board can be measured at pin 8 of P813 (3.39V STBY
and 4.89V RUN), but it is not used. The RL-ON command also turns on the 17V (Audio B+ 17V) which is also sent to the
Main Board. The 17V Audio supply outputs to the Main board at P813 pins 1 and 2 and used for Audio processing and
amplification by IC700.
The next step is for the Microprocessor IC101 on the Main Board to output a high (3.29V) on M_ON Line to the SMPS at
P813 Pin 17 which is sensed by the Controller IC701, turning on the M5V line and outputs at P811 pins 6 to the Z-SUS
board.
The Controller (IC701) also uses the M_ON line to turn on the VA and the VS supplies. (Note there is no VS On Command

in this set).

AUTO GND Pin 18 of P813: This pin is grounded on the Main board. When it is grounded, the Controller (IC701) works in
the normal mode, meaning it turns on the power supply via commands sent from the Main board. When AUTO GND is
floated (opened)
(opened), it pulls up and places the Controller (IC701) into the Auto mode
mode. In this state
state, the Controller turns on the
power supply in stages automatically. A load is necessary to perform a good test of the SMPS if the Main board is suspect.

42PW350 Power Supply Static Test with Light Bulb Load
Using two 100 Watt light bulbs, attach one end to Vs and the other end to ground. Apply AC to SC101. If the light bulbs
turn on and VS is the correct voltage, allow the SMPS to run for several minutes to be sure it will operate under load.
If this test is successful and all other voltages are generated, you can be fairly assured the power supply is OK.
Note: To be 100% sure, you would need to read the current handling capabilities of each power supply listed on the silk
screen on the SMPS and place each supply voltage under the appropriate load.
Note:
Always test the SMPS under a load using the
2 light bulbs.

Y-Drive Signal Overview
Note, this TP
Y-Drive Test Point (VS_DA) can be
(Under 2nd Buffer from Top) used as an External
Trigger for scope
when locking onto
the Y-Drive (Scan) or
the Z-Drive signal.
This signal can also

be used to help lock
the scope when
observing the LVDS
video signals.
NOTE: The Waveform Test Points
are fragile. If by accident the land
is torn and the run lifted, make
sure there are no lines left to right
in the screen picture.
There are several other test points on

either the Upper or Lower Y-Drive
boards that can be used.
Basically any output pin on any of the
FPC to the panel are OK to use.

(Y-Drive Explained) p/n: EBR68288401
Y-DRIVE BOARD
The 42PW350 uses 8 Driver ICs on

one Y-Drive Board commonly called
Y-Drive Buffers but are actually Gate Arrays.
Y-Drive Board works as a path supplying the
Sustain and Reset waveforms which are made
in the Y-Sustain board and sent to the Panel
through Scan Driver ICs.
The Y-Drive Boards receive a waveform
developed on the Y-SUS board then selects the
horizontal electrodes sequentially starting at the
top and scanning down the panel.
Scanning is synchronized by receiving Logic
scan signals from the Control board.

Y-Drive Board Layout
Key Points of interest are;

There are 6 FPC (Flexible Ribbon Cables)
connecting the Y-Drive board to the Panel. These
FPC connect to a total of 1080 individual
Y-DRIVE electrodes

Removing (Panel) Flexible Ribbon Cables from Y-Drive Upper or Lower
Flexible Ribbon Cables shown may be different, but process is the same.
To remove the Ribbon Cable from the connector first carefully lift the Locking Tab from
the back and tilt it forward ( lift from under the tab as shown in Fig 1).
The locking tab must be standing straight up as shown in Fig 2.
Lift up the entire Ribbon Cable gently to release the Tabs on each end. (See Fig 3)
Gently slide the Ribbon Cable free from the connector.

Be sure ribbon tab is released
By lifting the ribbon up slightly,
Gently Pry before removing ribbon.

To reinstall the Ribbon Cable, carefully slide it back into the slot see ( Fig 3 ), be sure the Tab is seated
securely and press the Locking Tab back to the locked position see ( Fig 2 then Fig 1).

Incorrectly Seated Y-Drive Flexible Ribbon Cables
The Ribbon Cable is clearly improperly seated

into the connector. You can tell by observing the
line of the connector compared to the FPC, they
should be parallel.

The Locking Tab will offer a greater resistance to

X BOARD (LEFT and RIGHT) SECTION
The following section gives detailed information about the X boards. These boards deliver
the

C i
Packages). The TCPs are attached to the vertical FPCs, (Flexible Printed Circuits) which are
attached directly to the panel. The X boards are the attachment points for these FPCs.
These boards have no adjustment.
X-BOARD VOLTAGES:
VA: Originally developed on the Switched Mode Power Supply VA (Voltage for
Address) sent out P811 pin 5 to Z-SUS P7 pin 5. VA is routed through the Z-SUS
board and out on P4 pins 11~12 (top two pins) to the Z-SUB
Z SUB board P101
P101. VA
leaves the Z-SUB board on P203 pins 3~4 (bottom 2 pins). VA arrives on the Left
X-Board via P312 pins 3~4.
VA leaves the Left X-Board P311 pins 3~4 and is sent to the Right X-Board
arriving on P211 pins 3
3~4.
4.
3.3V: Control board develops 3.3V (IC53). 3.3V leaves on connector P107 pins
41~43 and routes to the Left X-Board via ribbon connector P232 pins 9~11.
3.3V: Control board develops 3.3V (IC53). 3.3V leaves on connector P108 pins
8~10 and routes to the Left X-Board via ribbon connector P331 pins 42~44.

X Board Additional Information
There are two X-Boards,, the Left and the Right.

g As viewed from the rear of
the set.
The two X-Boards have very little circuitry. They are basically signal and
voltage
g routing
g boards.
They route Va voltage to all of the Taped Carrier Packages (TCPs).
Va is introduced to the Left X board first, then the Left X-Board
sends Va to the Right
g X-Board.
The X-Boards also route the Logic (Color) signals from the Control board
to all of the Taped Carrier Packages (TCPs).
The X-Boards
X Boards have connectors to 12 TCPs
TCPs, 6 on the left and right
right.
There are a total of 12 TCPs and each TCP has 2 gate arrays, so there are
a total of 24 buffers feeding the panels 5760 vertical electrodes which
determine the Horizontal Resolution of the Panel
Panel.

X Board TCP Heat Sink Warning
NEVER run the television with this heat sink removed.

removed
Damage to the TCPs will occur and cause a defective panel.
The Vertical Address buffers (TCPs) Taped Carrier Packages have one
heat sink indicated by the arrow. It protects all 12 TCPs.

MOTION REMOTE and 3D SYNC BOARD SECTION
The first time the Motion Remote has its batteries installed and pointed at the
Television, the Motion Remote is synchronized with the TV. After that, when
pointing the remote at the TV and pressing the Enter key, a pointer appears
on screen, then by moving the Motion Remote around, the pointer moves
with the movement of the remote. When the pointer is placed over a
selectable button, you can press the center Enter
Enter button and active the
object. This makes navigation much easier.
You can also adjust the volume, change channels and mute the audio with the
Motion Remote and it has a convenient Home
Home button for the TV Menu.
A wrist band can be attached to the remote to avoid dropping and damaging the
remote.
The Motion Remote utilizes a specialized receiver on the Television to receive

the RF signal and this information is then routed to P1302 and on to the
IC101 the BCM IC for pointer positioning and interpretation of the other
functions.
How to Re-register the Magic Motion Remote Control after Registration Failure. Reset the
remote control by pressing and holding both the ENTER and MUTE buttons for 5 seconds.
An LED will blink 3 times indicating the remote is ready for registering.
