REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

LG FLATRON L1510SF – 15 INCH LCD MONITOR – SCHEMATIC (CIRCUIT DIAGRAM) - ADJUSTMENTS

LG Flatron L1510SF – 15 inch LCD monitor – Schematic (Circuit Diagram) - Adjustments


LG L1510 - 15 inch LCD monitor - Circuit Daigram - Adjustments - Circuit descriptions
Type : TFT XGA LCD Module
Size : 352.0(H) x 263.5(V) x 14.0(T)
Pixel Pitch : 0.297mm x 0.297mm
Color Depth : 6bits(with FRC)/ 16M colors
Active Video Area : 15.0inch (304.128 x 228.096)
Lamp Life : 40,000 Hours (Min.)
Horizontal : 30 ~ 63kHz
Vertical : 56 ~ 75Hz

Scaler One chip IC(GMZAN-2, U201)
GMZAN-2 (U201) is one chip IC which it supports four internal function blocks of Video Amp, PLL, A/D converter and Video processor.  Video signal (0.7Vp.p) clamped through C207, 208, 209 with matching IC’s proper cut off voltage.  This signal is processed as a proper 8 bit digital signal by U201’s amplifying, phase locking, A/D converting, and scaling operations.  U201 outputs 24bit RGB data and control signals(Clock, Horizontal and Vertical sync, and Data Enable) as LVDS IC’s input signals.
System Controller (Microprocessor) Circuit
1) Microprocessor (U501) distinguishes polarity and frequency by calculating horizontal and vertical sync input from signal source.
2) Microprocessor (U501) carries out power control by sending power-down trigger signal to each IC.
3) Microprocessor (U501) communicates with EEPROM (U502), and GMZAN-2 (U201) through IIC(2 lines) or 4 bit bus line. It makes all devices operated properly.
4) Microprocessor (U501) let User adjust screen by OSD function.
LVDS(Low Voltage Differential Signal, U411)

LVDS transmitter (U411) delivers digital signal to the receiver inside LCD module by method of abstraction.  The abstracted signals are pairs of RIN0+-, RIN1+-, RIN2+-, RIN3+-, and RCLKIN+- of which voltage swing is 0.5V each.  When SHUTON pin’s input is High, transmitter goes to power down mode.

DC/DC block
This block is composed of regulators which supplies 2.5V and 3.3V.  Each regulator’s source power is 5VR from LIPS(LCD Inverter and Power Supply) block.  U806 supplies 2.5VD and 2.5VA and U802 supplies 3.3VD, 3.3V_AD, and 3.3V_PL powers to GMZAN-2’s internal PLL, ADC, Pre-amp, and scaler by dropping down 5VR.  U805 supplies MODPWR-3.3V for LCD module’s operation by dropping down 5VR.
LIPS Block (LCD Inverter and Power Supply)
This block supplies DC voltages of 5VS to interface board and 12V to inverter by converting AC input voltage of 100~240Vac.  Converting method is SMPS(Switching Mode Power Supply).  Inverter on/off signal from microprocessor makes inverter turned on or off .  DIMADJ signal from microprocessor does inverter’s current adjustment for Brightness control.
Adjustment for Factory Preset Mode

5) Display color 15,0 pattern at Mode 13.
6) Select DRIVE CAL command and Enter.
7) Color 1 (9300K) and Color 2 (6500K) are automatically adjusted and saved to the EEPROM.
