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 50PJ350 PLASMA TV HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT / DIAGNOSE THE Y SUS BOARD

How to troubleshoot the Y SUS board of a LG 50PJ350 Plasma TV 

 Y-SUS BOARD SECTION
Y-SUS Board develops the V-Scan drive signal to the Y-Drive boards.
• Adjustments
• DC Voltage and Waveform Checks
• Diode Mode Measurements
Operating Voltages
SMPS Supplied
 VA
 VS
 M5V
VA supplies the Panel’s Vertical Electrodes (Routed to the Left X-Board)
VS Supplies the Panel’s Horizontal Electrodes. Also routed to the Z-SUS board.
M5V Supplies Bias to Y-SUS. (From Y-SUS routed to the Control Board then Z-SUS)
Y-SUS Developed
VY VR502
VSC VR501
V SET UP VR401
V SET DN VR402 16V
-VY Sets the Negative excursion of reset in the Drive Waveform VSC Sets the amplitude of the complex waveform.
SET UP sets amplitude of the Top Ramp of Reset in the Drive Waveform
SET DOWN sets the Pitch of the Bottom Ramp for Reset in the Waveform
Used internally to develop the Y-Drive signal. (Also routed to the Control Board then routed to the Z-SUS board)
Floating Ground
FG 5V
FG 15V
Used on the Y-Drive boards (Measured from Floating Gnd)
Used in the Development of the Y-Drive Waveform (Measured from Floating Gnd)
VSC and -VY Adjustments
CAUTION: Use the actual panel label and not the book for exact voltage settings.
These are DC level Voltage Adjustments.
Set should run for 15 minutes, this is the “Heat Run” mode.
Set screen to “White Wash”.
1) Adjust –Vy VR502 to Panel’s Label voltage (+/- 1V)
2) Adjust VSC VR501 to Panel’s Label voltage (+/- 1V)
Y-Drive Signal Overview
Y-Drive Lower Test Point (Top Buffer)
Finding on to the Y-Drive Waveform Tip
Note, this TP (VS_DA) can be used as an External Trigger for scope when locking onto the Y-Drive (Scan) or the Z-Drive signal.
This signal can also be used to help lock the scope when observing the LVDS video signals.
Observing (Capturing) the Y-Drive Signal for Set Up Adjustment
Set must be in “WHITE WASH”
All other DC Voltage adjustments should have already been made.
Fig 1:
As an example of how to lock in to the Y-Drive Waveform.
Fig 1 shows the signal locked in at 2ms per/div.
Note the 2 blanking sections.
The area for adjustment is pointed out within the Waveform.
Fig 2:
At 200uSec per/division, the area of the waveform to use for SET-UP or SET-DN is now becoming clear.
Now the only two blanking signals are present.
Fig 3:
At 100us per/div the area for adjustment of SET-UP or SET-DN is now easier to recognize. It is outlined within the Waveform.
Remember, this is the 1st large signal to the right of blanking.
TIP: If you expand to 100uSec per/division, the adjustment for:
SET-UP can be made using VR402 and the
SET-DN can be made using VR401.
It will make this adjustment easier if you use the “Expanded” mode of your scope.
Set Up and Set Down Adjustments
Set Up Adjustment Too High or Low
Y-SUS Board Troubleshooting VScan.
Y-SUS Board develops the V-Scan drive signal to the Y-Drive boards.
This Section of the Presentation will cover troubleshooting the Y-SUS Board.
Warning: Never run the Y-SUS with P212 (Y-SUS) or P204/P110 (Y-Drives) removed unless the Y-Drive boards are removed completely. Board Failure will occur.
TIP: Use the Scan Output Screw Lugs to test for
V-Scan signal if the Y-Drive boards are removed.
Y-SUS Board P212 Connector to P205 Lower Y-Drive (Logic and FG5V
TIP: Connectors do not come with a new Y-SUS or Y-Drives
Use Scan Screw Lugs to test for Y-Scan signal if the Y-Drive boards are removed.
Y-SUS P212 Connector Diode Mode Testing

Y-SUS Floating Ground (FG 15V) and (FG 5V) Checks
Voltage Measurements for the Y-SUS Board.
TIP: These components are on the back of the board. To Test these voltages, remove the board completely, supply Ground and any 5V supply to M5V fuse FS202.
Y-SUS 16V Generation Check
Voltage Measurements for the Y-SUS Board
16V Test Point
Used in the Y-SUS for Waveform Creation and Leaves the Y-SUS board on P101 pins 1~3 to the Control Board.
Checked at Cathode Side D515.
