HITACHI PLASMA TV - 42EDT41 - HORIZONTAL LINE FAULT - TROUBLESHOOT
SUSTAIN SHORT [Line ON]
Horizontal Sustain Influence for Z and Y SUS PWBs, Y Drive Upper and Y
Drive Lower PWBs.
(Note: Defect Line shown is on the bottom, so the back X-Drive Left PWB
would be involved or the Z-SUS output from the bottom connector).
Note: The Screen can be broken down into 8 Horizontal Rows. (See the
Bottom PWB layout) from the Drive PWBs (4 from Upper Drive PWB and 4 from Lower
Drive PWB) and 2 Rows from the Z-SUS PWB (Top and Bottom). Each of the
connectors from the Control, X-Drive Left and Right PWBs controls each column.
Try to determine which area of the screen is affected to determine the PWB
involved.

X DRIVE LEFT AND RIGHT PWB INFORMATION:
Each X Drive PWB Receives LOGIC signals from CONTROL PWB and makes
ADDRESS PULSE (generates Address discharge) by ON/OFF operation, and supplies
this waveform to COF (data) "Chip On Film".
CONTROL PWB:
This picture shows the Control PWB and it’s 3 connectionsat the bottom
to the COF connectors. Creates signal processing (Contour noise, reduction
ISM,..) by an order of many FETs turning on/off for each DRIVER. Controls R, G,
B (each 8 bit outputs, then parallel split). Uses
3.3V / 5V (2 kinds of power regulators on board ).
CONTROL PWB:
This is a blow up of the Left side of the Control PWB showing the 3.3V
and 2.5V Regulators.
