TV POWER STANDBY TEST
Power TV On
POWER ON .2Vdc (when off) changes to 3.3Vdc (on)
Note: Will stay On for short time when powered off.
If voltage error or no change:
Jog Function & IR Control Test
If OK replace Main Board:
All 13V supplies for approx. 12.7VDC
If any wrong voltages, remove SMPS connector to Main Board:
All A13V again for 12.7VDC
All Vamp supplies for approx. 18 VDC
If OK replace Main Board:
If still wrong voltage replace SMPS:
OVD_LEVEL (Over Voltage Detect) 3.3Vdc : Operating Normal
If 0V or changing, an SMPS or Panel error exists. Perform Backlight Test.
Backlight On/Off : OV Off to 4.4Vdc On- If missing or error : Replace Main
Board.
Backlight ON
Backlight On/Off 0V Off to 3.4Vdc ON (LD Board CN9003A)
Vdrv supplies to LD Board (approx 78V dc with multi meter)
SMPS/PANEL
BACKLIGHT TEST
1.
Activate Backlights Test : Disconnect Lead Cable from Main to Power supply.
TV Screen for active backlight LEDs.
2. If No BACKLIGHTS
Minus(Control) pins & Plus(Supply) pins voltages on the Panel connector.
(with fine test probe on left side of connector only for safety)- If no pin
voltages replace SMPS.
If
BACKLIGHTS ON BUT PANEL SECTION(S) OFF
SIMPLE
BL ERROR TEST:
Check each panel ribbon configuration.
If any have a different number of pins or a different pin or drive
configuration do not perform this simple test go to additional backlight test.
If each have same number of pins and exact pin configuration.
Verify exact Panel Backlight error location (dark vertical line)
Turn off TV and Remove AC Power
Swap the two adjacent panel ribbons in that area
Reconnect AC Power and turn on the TV
Check location of defect (dark vertical line)
If the defect remained in the same location the panel is defective.
If the defect moved to another location the LD Board is defective (NOTE: In
rare cases the Main Board may be
defective since it provides Local dim control.
BACKLIGHT
DIMMING PROBLEMS
Go to Menu > Picture > Expert Settings > Backlight and vary level (0 ~
50)
If no backlight changes observed :
Panel Connector minus (-) pin voltages and ANA-DIM voltages CNM801 while
changing backlight level.
If minus(-) pin voltages don't change, and ANA-DIM changes, replace SMPS
If ANA-DIM doesn't change replace Main Board.
