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 PLASMA 42PJ350 _ Va & s ADJUSTMENTS AFTER REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD

LG PLASMA 42PJ350 _ Va & s ADJUSTMENTS AFTER REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD




ADJUSTMENTS

It is critical that the DC Voltage adjustments be checked when;
  • SMPS, Y-SUS or Z-SUS board is replaced.
  • Panel is replaced, Check Va/Vs since the SMPS does not come with new panel
  • A Picture issue is encountered
  • As a general rule of thumb when ever the back is removed.
ADJUSTMENT ORDER “IMPORTANT” DC VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENTS
POWER SUPPLY: VS, VA (Always do first)
Y-SUS: Adjust –Vy, VSC
Z-SUS: Adjust Z-Bias (VZB) WAVEFORM ADJUSTMENTS
Y-SUS: Set-Up, Set-Down

The Waveform adjustment is only necessary
  1. When the Y-SUS board is replaced
  2. When a “Mal-Discharge” problem is encountered
  3. When an abnormal picture issues is encountered.
Always refer to the Voltage Sticker located on the back of the panel, in the upper Left Hand side for the correct voltage levels for the VA, VS, -VY, VSC, and Z Bias as these voltages will vary from Panel to Panel even in the same size category. Set-Up and Ve are just for Label location identification and are not adjusted in this panel.

SMPS Part Number: EAY60912401 Check the silk screen label on the top center of the Power Supply board to identify the correct part number. (It may vary in your specific model number).


Y-SUSTAIN BOARD:
  • Vs: Drives the Display Panel’s Horizontal Electrodes. (From Y-SUS to Z-SUS).
  • Va: To Y-SUS, fused then to the X-Boards. (Not used by Z-SUS). Primarily responsible for Display Panel Vertical Electrodes.
  • M5V: Used to develop Bias Voltages on the Y-SUS then routed to the Control board and then to the Z-SUS Board.
MAIN BOARD:
  • STBY 5V Microprocessor Circuits.
  • 17V Audio B+ Supply, Tuner B+ Circuits.
  • 5V Signal Processing Circuits
  • Also AC_Det (if missing, shuts of TV in 10 seconds) and Error_Det (not used)
ADJUSTMENTS
There are 2 adjustments located on the Power Supply Board VA and VS. 
The M5V is pre-adjusted and fixed. All adjustments are made referenced to Chassis Ground. 
Use “Full White Raster” 100 IRE.

VS: VR901
VA: VR502

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 F302 160V. This primary voltage is routed through T301 and routed to the Standby 5V supply. The STBY5V (standby) 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 (IC1) operation (STBY 3.49V RUN 5.23V).

   When the Microprocessor (IC1) on the Main Board receives a “POWER ON“ Command from either the Power button or the Remote IR Signal, it outputs a high (2.43V) called RL_ON at Pin 15 of P813. This command causes the Relay Circuit to close both Relays RL101 and RL103 routing AC to the Bridge Rectifier D101 which then routes the primary voltage to the PFC circuit (Power Factor Controller) 390V which can be read measuring voltage at Fuses F302 (390V) and F801 (389V) 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(4.45V) and sent to P301 to the Main Board where it is sensed and monitored by the Main Microprocessor (IC1). If AC Detis missing the set will come on, but shut off in 10 seconds.

   When RL_ON arrives, the run voltage +5V source becomes active and is sent to the Main Board via P813 (5.24V at pin 5, 6 and 7). The (Error Det) from the SMPS Board to the MainBoard can be measured at pin 8 of P813 (2.88V STBY and 4.93V RUN), but it is not used. The RL-ON command also turns on the 17V (Audio B+ 16.79V) 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.

   The next step is for the Microprocessor IC1 on the Main Board tooutput a high (3.27V) 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 9 and 10 to the Y-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). VS is output at P811 to the Y-SUS board P201. (VA pins 6 and 7 and VS pins 1 and 2). Note: The Va is fused on the Y-SUS then routed out P209 to the X-Board Left. VS is also routed out of the Y-SUS P206 pins 1 and 2 to the Z-SUS P2.

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), it pulls up and places the Controller (IC701) into the Auto mode. In this 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.

Va & Vs ADJUSTMENTS
Important:
  • Use the Panel Label Not this book for all voltage adjustments.
  • Use Full White Raster “White Wash”

Example Voltage Label

  1. Vs Adjust: Place voltmeter on VS TP. Adjust VR901 until the reading matches your Panel’s label.
  2. Va Adjust: Place voltmeter on VA TP. Adjust VR502 until the reading matches your Panel’s label.
