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 42LH50 HOW TO REMOVE T-CON BOARD - LG42LH50 - EEFL - LCD TV


HOW TO REMOVE T-CON BOARD - LG42LH50 - EEFL - LCD TV


T-CON [LCD CONTROLLER BOARD] REMOVAL
The T-Con IC UC1 receives from the Main Board at CN1 12 Bit and CN2 12 Bit LVDS Signals (Video) which it processes into TFT Drive Signals. It delivers its output signals through connectors CN4 and CN5 to control the LCD Panel.  12V is supplied to the T-Con Board on connector CN1 from the Main Board (easily measured at fuse F1).
Diode LD1 is a boot up indicator and is helpful in troubleshooting as a quick indication of a loss of supply and or a Boot up problem. The main purpose of LD1 is to aid in the firing of the EEFL back-lights when room light is minimum.It helps to excite the selenium in the EEFL lamp which is highly sensitive to Blue light. Once this lamp fires, it helps to excite the others.
There is one regulator that creates 1.19V developed at pin 2 (Center Leg) of U11. U5 is a DC to DC converter IC which develops the Panels driver voltages. 16V, 3.3V, -5V and 26V.  These voltages can be read at the ribbon connector or attest points on the board.
