Chapter 2 - LCD Panel Assembly
LCD Panel Assembly Schematics

Ref. Figure 2-1 and 2-2
The LCD Panel assembly includes the LCD Panel, Backlight (16 Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Tubes CCFTs), Backlight Inverter board, and LCD
Panel Logic board. When troubleshooting either the KLV-26HG2 or the
KLV-32M1 the priority is to determine if the defect is in the LCD Panel
assembly or in the supporting power, video, or audio circuitry. This
chapter concentrates on troubleshooting the LCD Panel assembly for
proper operation. The LCD Panel assembly operation for the KLV-26HG2
and KLV-32M1 are identical. There are only a couple of physical layouts
and one voltage difference between the two models (Ref. Figure 2-1 and
2-2). Note that the Panel Voltage between the two models is different.
KLV-26HG2 is 12V and KLV-32M1 is 5V. The only other difference is the
layout for the panel-return lines between the two models.

LCD Panel Assembly Troubleshooting Backlight Inverter Board Troubleshooting

(Ref. Figure 2-1 KLV-26HG2 and Figure 2-2 KLV-32M1 for all the
Areas to check when troubleshooting the LCD Panel assembly are: following symptom troubleshooting)
1) Inverter Output Lamp Drives (Ref. 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 Waveforms) The first thing to note when troubleshooting a possible defective Backlight
2) Inverter Board Input Power Supply (16.5V) Inverter is the AC current draw on the VAC (Variable AC Power Supply) at

2) To confirm the Inverter board is detecting a defective lamp
check the “Panel Detect” line on CN8001/pin 11, which is
typically 4V. This is an output signal from the Inverter board
to the Main Microprocessor. This line will monetarily go to 4V
and immediately go to 0V if a defect is detected.

Backlight Inverter Outputs and Inputs

Ref. Figure 2-1 KLV-26HG2 and Figure 2-2 KLV-32M1
NOTE: If the unit is shutting down due to a defect, the following

measurements can be momentarily observed just prior to the unit shutting
down and going into protection mode.
1) Confirm Backlight Inverter board outputs (refer to

Waveform 2-1, 2-2, 2-3). The actual output of the Inverter board
is approximately 1100Vrms. Therefore, it is best to measure
these voltages by bringing the oscilloscope probe in close WAVEFORM 2-1
proximity to the output connector and individual wire, or rest KLV-26HG2 INVERTER OUTPUT
the probe on the outer coating of the individual wire. Access
the connectors by removing the rear cover. The connectors
are vertically aligned down the left side of the chassis (viewed
from rear of unit). Reference figures 2-5 and 2-6 for connector
locations. The connectors with the two black wires are the
output high-voltage connectors. The other connectors are
the return lines (pink and white wires). Set the oscilloscope
setting as shown on waveforms 2-1, and hold the probe
close to the connector. Because of the plastic cover over the
connectors hold the probe as close as possible and directly
over the individual black wire. NOTE: The probe should be
directly over the particular black wire being measures to get
maximum reading. There are two output wires per connector, WAVEFORM 2-2
if the probe is held between the two wires the reading will be KLV-32M1 INVERTER OUTPUT

a. Waveform 2-1 or 2-2 should be observed on all connectors
if the Inverter is working properly.
b. If waveform 2-3 is observed the single output (single
black wire) that the probe is measuring is defective. The
low reading that is displayed is from the adjacent output.
Moving the probe over the adjacent output should increase
the amplitude of the waveform. In the case of a single
defective output the Backlight Inverter board is defective.
Consequently, the complete LCD Panel Assembly most be

Light Raster Display

(Unit Powers Up with No Video, Constant Light Raster Only,

The most likely cause of this symptom is the loss of the 12V Panel voltage
on the KLV-26HG2, and the 5V Panel voltage on the KLV-32M1. The
unit will power up normally, but only a light white raster will be displayed
and audio will be present. The unit remains ON and does not trigger a
protection mode shutdown. Confirm the 12V on CN5801/pins 1 & 2 on
the KLV-26HG2 model, and the 5V on CN4501/pins 26 – 30 on the KLV-
32M1 model.
Video or Sync Distortion

The following figures (2-9, 2-10, 2-11, and 2-12) illustrate the affects (or
symptoms) of possible video distortions due to a LVDS Cable defect. The
LVDS cable transports video and sync information from the B-board to
the Logic board on the KLV-26HG2, and between BL-board and the Logic
board on the KLV-32M1. The text associated with each picture describes
the distortion and the possible cause.

Figure 2-9 illustrates a loss of signal on CN5801/pins 5 or 6 (KLV-26HG2),
and CN4501/ pins 5 or 6 (KLV-32M1). These two lines carry strictly RGB
information (no HS or VS sync information). Therefore, a loss of signal
on these lines causes a loss of a primary color. In this case it is a loss of
primary blue and/or green, causing the reddish coloring of the picture.
Figure 2-10 illustrates a loss of signal on CN5801/pins 17 or 18 (KLV-

26HG2), and CN4501/ pins 17 or 18 (KLV-32M1). These two lines also
only carry RGB information (no HS or VS sync information). Therefore, a
loss of signal on these lines causes a loss of a primary color. In addition,
a defect on these lines also affects the luminance. The affect is a black-
and-white picture with a solarization or blooming aspect. In this case it is
a loss of primary blue and/or green, causing the reddish coloring of the
picture.

on these pins contains the blue video information along with the HS and

Power ON Sequence and Output Voltages 4) The final DC voltage to be switched ON is the 12V Panel
voltage. Once the D3.3V is produced the main microprocessor
Ref. Figures 3-1 and 3-2
sends the Power 2 signal to turn the 12V Panel switch ON and
pass the 12V to the Logic board.
1) AC is applied directly to the G1-board (KLV-26HG2), or the
GL-board (KLV-32M1), through the main fuse F601. The AC
is rectified and filtered and applied directly to the Standby 5V
power supply circuit and the Primary power supply circuit.
The Standby 5V power supply starts immediately after AC
is applied and outputs the Standby 5V, which is then applied
to the Main Microprocessor on the B-board (KLV-26HG2),
or the BL-board (KLV-32M1) to activate the standby mode of
operation (or Sleep-Mode). The RED LED on the front panel
of the unit when lit will indicate a properly function Standby 5V
power supply. As long as AC is applied to the unit, the LED
should glow red.
2) To turn the unit ON after the Standby mode is established

the Power 1 (ON) signal must go high (3.2V) to activate the
Primary power supply. The Power 1 signal comes from the
Main Microprocessor after the Power Button on the front panel
or on the remote has been depressed. The Primary power
is now active and outputs the voltages shown in Figures 3-
1 and 3-2 for both models. One notable difference between
the models is the presents of the AC input relay RY601 in
the KLV-32M1 models. This relay along with the thermistor
TH601 is actually used to limit the inrush current during initial
power up. The thermister absorbs the initial surge current
until the Primary power supply 16.5V output is produced. The
16.5V is applied to the relay, which activates and bypasses
the thermistor in the ON-mode.
3) Once the Primary power supply 16.5V output is produced

on both the KLV-26HG2 and the KLV-32M1 models and
the main microprocessor sends the Power 3 and Power 4
signals to turn ON the Secondary power supply. The main
Microprocessor monitors the 16.5V signal on the DCIN-ALERT
line located at CN4603/pin 21 (KLV-26HG2), and CN5504/pin
B40 (KLV-32M1).

The 17V at IC6000/pin 15 (VC1) is produced by the Standby

5V power supply. The 17V is applied to IC6000/pin 15 through
a switching circuit consisting of Q6003, Q6004, and PH6001.
The switching circuit is controlled by the POWER 1 (ON)
signal, which is a function ON/OFF button or the ON/OFF

The current flowing through the switching MOSFETS (Q6005 & Q6006)
also passes through T6001/pins 5 and 7, C6035, R6061, and then to
ground. The same current also passes through the parallel resistor circuit
of R6034 and R6044. This current is directly proportional to the current
through the switching MOSFETS. The voltage across R6044 is applied
to IC6000/pin 16. The OCP is activated when the voltage at IC6000/pin
16 exceeds 0.2V.

KLV-26HG2 Overview
Ref. Figure 5-1
The KLV-26HG2 is a completely analog system from input to output.

Therefore, the audio signal can be easily traced through the circuit using
an oscilloscope if needed. The complete audio system consists of the
input switching circuit (IC2801, IC2802, and IC2803). IC2801 and IC2802
perform the audio selection function for the component, DVI, and Memory
Stick audio inputs. IC2803 performs selection function for the Video 1 &
2 and Tuner Inputs, along with the resulting component audio selection
from IC2801 and IC2802.
The selected audio signal is then applied to IC7002, which performs

the Volume, Bass, and Treble functions. After IC7002 the audio signal
is routed to three separate circuits, IC7011 Audio Processor, IC7002
Headphone Amplifier, and IC7400 Variable/Fixed Audio Output. The
audio processor IC7011 performs processing for audio special effects
(SRS WOW for the KLV-26HG2). The resulting audio is then applied to
the audio amplifier and the speakers.
The various audio muting circuits illustrated on Figure 5-1 are as follows.
• Q7007 mutes the main speaker audio output by turning off

the output amplifier
• Q7018 & Q7019 mute the audio amplifier input circuit for
elimination of DC popping in speakers when unit is turned ON

KLV-32M1 Overview The various audio muting circuits illustrated on Figure 5-1 are as follows.
Ref. Figure 5-2 • Q8700 mutes the main speaker audio output by turning off
the output amplifier
The KLV-32M1 is a completely analog system from input to output.
Therefore, the audio signal can be easily traced through the circuit using • Q8300 mutes the audio amplifier input circuit for elimination

selection from IC9600 and IC9601.
The selected audio signal is then applied to IC8001, which performs further
audio switching between main audio and center speaker audio. After
IC8001 the audio signal is routed through an amplifier (IC8002) and then
to the audio processor (IC8100). The audio processor IC8100 performs
all audio signal processing and effects including Volume, Bass, Treble,
and special effects (Trusurround for the KLV-32M1). The resulting audio
then branches off to the main audio path amplifier (IC8301), headphone
amplifier (IC8601), EQ circuit (IC8300), and Audio Var/fix (IC8660).
The headphone audio is sent to the H3-board and the headphone output
jack, via the ULU-board. The audio output of the amplifier (IC8301) and
the EQ circuit (IC8300) is applied to a switching circuit consisting of
IC8302 and IC8303, which will pass either the audio from the amplifier
or the EQ circuit. NOTE: The EQ circuit is turned active (or turned ON)
when the Center speaker feature is selected (or turned ON). The audio
then proceeds through another amplifier (IC8500), and then to the audio
output amplifier (IC8501) and the speakers.
