LCD Direct View Overview
Safety and Handling Regulations
1. Approximately 20 minute pre-run time is required before making any picture performance
adjustments from the Menu.
2. Refer to the Voltage/Current silk screening on the Switch Mode Power Supply.
3. C-MOS circuits are sensitive to static electricity.
Use caution when dealing with these IC and circuits.
4. Exercise care when making voltage and waveform checks to prevent costly short circuits
from damaging the unit.
5. 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
•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.

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 won’t 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) Board 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 (170) and
Run (388.5V) measured at Fuse F1 from Hot Ground. This primary voltage develops all other voltages
that are output from the SMPS. During Stand-By, the 5 Volt Standby (5V_ST) 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 5V_ST (5.1V to 4.7V). Loss of 5V_ST would be a SMPS Failure. If
5V_ST returns, it would be an indication of a failure on the Main Board or possibly the Front Board (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
and the Microprocessor is communicating with the front LED driver IC!
The Main Board sends two commands to the Power Supply Board one being PWR_ON and the other is
INV ON. These two signals are used to control the SMPS turn on sequence. First the command PWR_ON
(Pin 2) also known as POWER ON, activates the Inverter voltages 24V and the 24V and 12V lines to the
Main board. The 2nd command is INV ON (I_C) (P201 pin 20). It is the Lamp Lighting Command Signal.
If either command (PWR-ON or INV-ON) is missing it will result in a no picture symptom and the backlights
will not turn on.
These voltages can not be easily checked using the normal “Stand-Alone” Power Supply check.
This Power Supply utilizes many different voltage sensing circuits that will prevent the usual procedure.
The Stand-By 5V to the Main Board MUST BE LOADED for the SMPS to stay on.
You can not just jump the PWR_ON command from 5V_ST like it was done before. Using a simple 12V
flashlight bulb from 5V_ST to Gnd. Will supply a sufficient load to run the SMPS stand alone.

TEST 1 Power Supply Board Low Voltage Test
AC Should not be applied at any time while

adding the light bulb, resistors or while
unplugging connectors as damage to the
circuit Board may occur.
• The SMPS “MUST” be producing STBY 5V on either pin 7, 8, 9 or 10 (5V).
If 5V Standby is not being generated, the SMPS is defective and must be replaced.
There is no need to continue with the next test.
• Unplug P400 on the Main Board. Use Main Board P400 Side to insert the
light bulb and resistors.
TEST 1: LOW VOLTAGE TEST:
Step (A) Add a 12V Light Bulb (10W) between 5V_ST and Gnd. This Supplies a load on the 5V_ST line that will
allow the supply to be powered up one section at a time.
Step (B) Add a 100Ω ¼ watt resistor from 5V_ST to PWR ON and the 12V and 24V Run Lines will become active.
Connector P201 Check pins 13 and 14 for 13.3V. Check pins 17 and 18 for 26.2V.
Connector P205 Check pins 1 through 5 for 26.2V.
Connector P204 Check pins 1 through 5 for 26.2V.
Remove AC power.

TEST 2 Power Supply Board Backlight Test
TEST 2: BACKLIGHT TEST:

Leave the Light Bulb and the resistor that was
added in the previous steps A and B connected.
Step (C)
Pull the Connector CN3 from the T-CON board.
Add a 100Ω ¼ watt resistor from 5V Standby to I-C (Inverter On) pin 20.
Add AC Power, the Backlights should turn on.
Note: If they do not, confirm that the I-C line (Inverter On voltage) is sent out pin 12 of both P203 and P205 going to
each Inverter. If 24V and I-C are present on both Inverters, see the Inverter Section of this book.
Remove AC power and return all connectors to the correct location.
Note: Using the test above, Inverter B can not be run Stand-Alone. Inverter A can be run by removing Inverter B
CN201. But the Right side of the screen (as viewed from the front) will be brighter and the Backlights will blink.
If CN203 is removed, then Inverter A will not run.
If 24V and I-C are present on both Inverters, see the Inverter Section of this book.

INVERTER A and B SECTION
Inverter A and B Boards
Each Inverter receives it B+ from the Switch Mode Power Supply. Inverter A
CN1 Pins 1~5 and Inverter B CN201 Pins 1~5. 24V is delivered when the
“Power On” command arrives at the SMPS.
The Backlights are turned on when the “Inverter On” command arrives. INV-
ON is sent from the Main board through the SMPS to Inverter A CN1 Pin 12.
Then Inverter A sends the On/Off (Inverter On/Off) command to Inverter B via
CN3 to CN203 pin 7.
The Backlights are manipulated by the control signal
“P-DIM (Digital Dimming)” coming from the T-CON board via CN2 pins 2 and 3
to Inverter A CN3. Then the controller chip on Inverter A sends Duty 1 and
Duty 2 to Inverter B on CN205 pins 1 and 3.
The output of 1.2Kv is sent to three sections of the backlight behind the LCD
panel. These three sections are broken up as follows: The Top and Bottom
sections are tied together, each containing 6 bulbs (total 12). The Center
section has 13 bulbs. All total 25 bulbs.

EEFL Compared to CCFL Electrodes
Key: Long Life Time
• For CCFL, Hg gas is consumed mainly near the internal electrode

• For EEFL, longer life time is expected because there is no internal electrode consuming Hg gas

T-CON (TFT DRIVE) SECTION
LCD Controller Board
The T-CON IC UC1 receives from the Main Boards LVDS Video Signals at CN1 and CN2.
This is a Dual 12 Bit (24 pin) LVDS Video Signal which it processes into TFT Drive Signals
which are delivered through connectors CN4 and CN5 to the LCD TFT Panel.
T-CON B+: 12V is supplied to the T-Con Board on connector CN1 from the Main Board
P800 easily measured at fuse F1, (3A and 125V).
There is a DC to DC converter (U5) that creates;

(16V Measured at VDD). (26V Measured at pin 8 of U5).
(3.3V Measured at VCC). (-5V Measured at D9 top right leg).
These Voltages can also be measured at the ribbon connectors delivering signals to the
TFT panel
(CN4 26V pin 4, -5V pin 2, 3.3V pins 53, 54 and 16V pins 56, 57 and 58).
(CN5 26V pin 57, -5V pin 59, 3.3V pins 7, 8 and 16V pins 3,4 and 5).
See the 11X17 Foldout (Interconnect Diagram) for more details.
In the set the T-CON also receives the P-DIM voltage from the Main board on CN1 pin 8.
Then the Controller UC1 outputs P-DIM control signals now called Scan 1 and Scan 2 on
the CN3 connector, pins 2 and 3 to Inverter A CN2.

To confirm that the Main Board is outputting Picture Content signals, check P800 (LVDS) cable for
output. Check pins 11-14,16-17, 19-24, 27-30, 32-33 and 35-40. Pins 35-36 carry the clock for TA
and 19-20 carry the clock for TB. These signals vary from each other, but looking for signals like
the ones shown below on any of these pins will confirm the output of video content. This signal is
using standard SMTE Color Bar output from a generator as the input source.

FRONT IR SECTION
The Front IR board contains the Infrared receiver and the Intelligent Sensor.
This board receives its B+ (STBY5V) from the Main Board. It also has connections to the side Key
board. The 3.3V pull up for the Soft Touch Keys is routed from the Main board through the Front IR
board to the Soft Touch Key board.
The Front Power LEDs are now on the Soft Touch Key Board section and pulsate incrementally as the
set turns on and decrease as the set turns off. This is accomplished using an LED driver IC which
communicates with the Main board via Clock and Data lines.
There are several Zener diodes on the board as well and since it receives STAND-BY 5V (STBY 5V) it
could make the Power Supply or the Main board appear to be defective if a short was introduced to the
stand by line.
