Set the Chroma at pattern 63 (cross-talk pattern) or WIN 9 8 / 95 sh ut - down mode (dot-pattern). Adjust until the vertical-Stripe-shadow as wide as possible or no visible. This function is adjust the PLL divider of ADC to generate an accurate pixel clock Example : Hsyn = 31.5KHz Pixel freq. = 25.175MHz (from VESA spec)

The Divider number is (N) = (Pixel freq. x 1000)/Hsyn

From this formula, we get the Divider number, if we fill this number in ADC register (divider register), the PLL of ADC will generate a clock which have same period with above Pixel freq.(25.175MHz) the accuracy of this clock will effect the size of screen.(this clock was called PIXEL-CLOCK)

3. Focus adjustment

Set the Chroma at pattern 63 (cross talk pattern) or WIN98 / 95 sh ut do w n mode (dot-pattern). Adjust the horizontal interference as less as possible This function is adjust the phase shift of PIXEL-CLOCK to acquire the right pixel data . If the relationship of pixel data and pixel clock not so match, we will see the horizontal interference on screen ,we only find this phenomena in crosstalk pattern or dot pattern , other pattern the affect is very light

4. H/V-Position adjustment

Set the Chroma to pattern 1 (crosshatch pattern) or WIN98/95 full-white pattern confirm above item 2 & 3 functions (clock & focus) was done well, if that 2 functions failed, the H/V position will be failed too. Adjust the four edge until all four-edges are visible at the edge of screen.

5. MULTI-LANGUAGE function

There have 5 language for selection, press “MENU” to selected and confirm , press “ LEFT” or “ RIGHT” to change the kind of language ( English , Deutch , Francais, Espanol, Italian)

Press power key and check U302 pin 43 = low (0V) ?

Check U302 pin 38 (LED green) will have transition from hi to low or low to hi when we press the power key??

Check U302 pin 20= 20MHz ? and pin 44 (VDD)=5V ? and pin 10 (reset)=0V ? at normal condition

Without press key and change mode, Check U302 pin 16,17(sda,scl)= hi 5V ? or keep transition ?

Replace U302 MCU

NG, MCU no response

Keep transition, that means eeprom no response

Mechanical was stuck, Check !

Replace Tact-switch SW105 at keyboard if still no work replace U302 MCU at main-board and check MCU relative reset circuit, and crystal

If still no Led green indicator, check Q102, R106 & LED at keyboard !! cold solder or bad

If one of this item was NG, check the relative circuit

Check U300 eeprom 24LC04 relative circuit, check U300 pin 7 = low?

Check JP202 is connect ?

Check U300 pin 8 (vdd)= 5V, and check R300

R301 cold solde

Replace eeprom

POWER-BLOCK check **Note : the Waveform of U304 pin 2 can determined the power situation

1. stable rectangle waveform with equal duty, freq aroun d 150 K- 1 58 K Hz

that means all power of this interface board is in normal operation ,and all status of 5V & 3.3V is working well

2. unstable or uneven rectangle waveform without same duty, that means ABNORMAL operation was

happened, check 3.3V or 5V ,if short-circuit or ba d component

3. rectangle waveform with large spike & harmonic pulse on front side , means all 3.3v is no load, U200

Gmzan1 was shut-down, and only U302 MCU still working , that means the monitor is in power saving status , all power system is working well .

Measure input power at U304 LM2596 pin 1= 12V ?

Check ADAPTER and connector if loose?

Check U304 pin 2 is a stable rectangle wave? Around 150k-158kHz stable rectangle wave with equal duty without any spike or harmonic pulse?

The interface board power is good

Check U304 pin 2 is a unstable rectangle wave ?

OK, unstable wave

Check all 3.3V & 5V power, there is short circuit or bad component was happened

NG, with harmonic

ulse

The interface board is in powersaving state, press power key to wake up & check your signal input

III.ALL SCREEN HAS INTERFERENCES OR NOISE, CAN’T BE FIXED BY AUTO KEY

** NOTE: There is so many kind of interferences, 1). One is cause by some VGA-CARD that not meet VESA spec or

power grounding too bad that influence our circuit

2).other is cause by external interferences, move the monitor far from electronic equipment.( rarely happened)

Use DOT-pattern, or win98/99 shut-down mode pattern, press “AUTO” key, was the interferences disappear ??

Adjust “FOCUS” step by step, until the horizontal interferences disappear

Does your signal-cable have an additional cable for extension ??

Does your noise only exist in one mode only? (ex: only at 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz, other is normal)

That was cause by you VGA-CARD setting, your VGA card timing backporch/frontporch exceed vesa timing too far, for some new AGP-VGA-CARD such situation always happened So in your control-panel icon ,select monitor ,setting ,

advance ,screen-adjust,at Size icon, increase step by step slowly, press “”AUTO”

key every step you increase the SIZE . repeat the procedure( increase/decrease SIZE one-step and press AUTO) until the interferences disappear, press “APPLY” to save in your VGA

NO additional extension cable

Yes, only happened on one mode

Yes, has extension

END

Put away the additional cable May be the additional cable grounding is not quite well

Change the Signal-cable to new-one or Try other brand VGA-CARD (make sure just only that brand VGACARD has this problem ,contact RDtai

There is an interferences in DOS MODE

NOTE :the criteria of doing AUTO-CONFIGURATION : must be a full-size screen, if the screen not full , the autoconfiguration will fail. So in dos mode ,just set your “CLOCK” in OSD-MENU to zero or use some EDITOR software which can full fill the whole screen (ex: PE2, HE) and then press “AUTO” Or you can use “DOS1.EXE” which attached in your Driver disk to optimize DOS mode performance

V. THE PANEL LUMINANCE WAS DOWN

Use white pattern and resolution 1280x1024 @ 60Hz , CHROMA 7120 measured the center of panel

Set Contrast, brightness =maximal, RGB= 50 Quit from OSD-screen, measured Y(luminance) With chroma 7120, check Y= 240±10 CD/M2 ?

If Y can reach ＞190 cd/m2 that means The lamp still working well, so we just re-do the white-balance process As following procedure

Adjust VR201 until maximal, measured Y = 240±10 cd/m2 ?

Use white-pattern, press MENU button along with AC power-plug in ( you will in factory mode) The OSD-menu will be at left-top of screen,

If the Y less than 160 cd/m2 (after the VR201= MAX, contrast, brightness = max) then change the LAMP of panel

press AUTO button to automatically adjust blacklevel value, you will see the sign PASS ,if FAIL , manual adjust the blacklevel until value 43 !

Set contrast, brightness to max, and turn the VR201 to max , wait for 20 minutes until the luminance Y stable The Y should be larger than 200 cd/m2 (for panel which already use for a year, the Y luminance might be a little down, around 180 cd/m2, there is acceptable too)

Follow this manual page 7 item 4-2 method to more detail procedure for do a white-balance adjust
