Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Define, Localize, Isolate and Correct
•Define
the failure. Use your senses Sight, Smell, Touch and Hearing. Look for burned parts and
check for possible overheated components. Capacitors will sometimes leak dielectric material
and give off a distinct odor. Frequency of power supplies will change with the load, or listen for
relay closing etc. Observation of the front Power LED may give some clues.
•Localize
checked and after giving a thorough examination using your senses the first check should
always be the DC Supply Voltages to those circuits under test. Always confirm the supplies
are not only the proper level but be sure they are noise free. If the supplies are missing check
the resistance for possible short circuits.
•Isolate
Oscilloscope to make a final determination of the failure. Look for correct Amplitude Phasing
and Timing of the signals also check for the proper Duty Cycle of the signals. Sometimes
“glitches” or “road bumps” will be an indication of an imminent failure.
Look at the symptom carefully and determine what circuits could be causing

POWER SUPPLY SECTION
POWER SUPPLY SECTION
This switch mode power supply develops Stand By 3.5V
at all times when AC is applied.
At power on, it develops 12V and 20V for the Main board.
It develops 120V for the LED Backlights.
This power supply draws less than 1 watt during stand by
mode. The fuse F101 and F103 reads 7.6V
(from hot ground) during this time.
When the controller chip receives the PWR-ON command
3.36V via P201 Pin 1, the primary section increases its
current supplying ability. Both Primary fuses F101 and
F103 now read a little more than 395V.
T102 delivers AC to D206 which develops the 120V for
the LED backlights.
P201 Connector: (To Main Board)
12V (11.43V) is routed out P201 pins 17, 19 and 21 and
20V (21.27V) is routed out P201 pins 2, 3 and 4.

Power Supply Board Low Voltage Test 1
Power Supply Board Low Voltage Test 1
AC Should not be applied at any time while adding jumpers or
While unplugging connectors as damage to the circuit Board
may occur.
a) When AC is applied, the SMPS “MUST” be producing
STBY 3.5V on pins 9, 10, 11 or 12 of P201.
If 3.5V Standby is not being generated, the SMPS is defective
and must be replaced. There is no need to continue with the
next test.
But, make sure AC is arriving at the connector SK101.
(b) Unplug P8000 on the Main Board to make insertion of the Jumpers easier.
Use P700 Side to insert resistors
Pin 1 is the
Brown Wire
TEST 1:
(1) Add a jumper between (3.5V STBY) pin 7, 8, 9 or 10 and Pin 1 (PWR_ON). Apply AC.
This will turn on the power supply, relays will click.
a) Check that the 24V and 12V power supplies are turned on,
• P201 (12V pins 17, 19 and 21)
• P201 (24V pins 2, 3 and 4)
• P204 and P205 (120V pins 1 and 12) to the Panel. (Or check D206 + lead)
(2) Remove AC power
No Backlights during this test

Power Supply Board Backlights Test 2
Continue if the 1sttest was OK.
Leave original jumper in place.
(3) Add another jumper between (STBY_3.5V)
pin 9, 10, 11 or 12 and Pin 18 (INV_On).
(4) Apply AC Power. Simulating a Power and
Backlight On command.
Backlights Normal:
a) If normal, the backlights should turn on.
SMPS OK, Inverter OK.
Backlights Abnormal:
a) Recheck all connections.
b) Confirm the INV On/Off line pulling up to at least 3V.
c) Check the connections to the Panel.
If the Inverter On command is pulling up to 3V and the 120V is being generated
from D206 + lead, See the Inverter Section of the Power Supply for additional checks.
Note: If either P204 or P205 is disconnected, the backlights will come on,
These drivers ground the LED blocks. (12 Total). If the
120V is present on Pins 1 and 12 of P204 and P205
you can ground these test points to turn on a block.

FRONT (IR, INTELLIGENT SENSOR and MOVING LED) SECTION
The Intelligent Sensor and IR board (located on the bottom left as viewed from the rear) contains the
IR (Infrared Remote Sensor) and the Intelligent Sensor. This board also connects with the Soft Touch
Key Board and the Center LG Logo board. The Center LG Logo lights after power on and the picture
appears. Then dims down in about 2 seconds. At power off, it does the reverse.
The IR board receives it operating B+ via CON1 pin 6 (STBY 3.5V).
The IR (Infrared) remote receiver can be measured (1.57V) at pin 9 of connector CON1 or P8200 on
the Main board in Stand-By. During run pin 9 reads (1.54V).
The IR pulses (1.6V p/p) CON1 pin 9 are sent to P8200 on the Main board and on to the
Microprocessor (IC8101) via pin 16.
The Intelligent Sensor communicates with the Micro/Video Processor IC900 BCM Chip via clock and
data lines SCL1 and SDA1 arriving on connector CON1 from P8200 pins 1 and 2 on the Main board.
The Front Power LEDs are controlled by these same Clock and Data lines which communicate with
the LED Driver IC U1 on the Soft Touch Key board.
The Key board is routed to the IR board via CON2 and output on CON1 Key 1 and Key 2 lines,
(Key 1 pin 4 and Key 2 pin 5). Arriving at P8200 pins 4 and 5 on the Main Board.
Then to the Microprocessor 25 and 26 lines.
