IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

This manual was prepared for use only by properly trained audio-visual service technicians. When servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original design be modiﬁed or altered without permission from LG Electronics. Unauthorized modiﬁcations will not only void the warranty, but may lead to property damage or user injury. All components should be replaced only with types identical to those in the original circuit and their physical location, wiring, and lead dress must conform to original layout upon completion of repairs. If any fuse (or Fusible Resistor) in this TV receiver is blown, replace it only with the factory speciﬁed fuse type and rating. When replacing a high wattage resistor (Oxide Metal Film Resistor, over 1W), keep the resistor 10mm away from PCB. Always keep wires away from high voltage or high temperature parts. Do not attempt to modify this product in any way.

Special components are also used to prevent shock and ﬁre hazard and are required to maintain safe performance. No deviations are allowed without prior approval by LG Electronics. Service work should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with these safety checks and servicing guidelines. Circuit diagrams may occasionally differ from the actual circuit used. This way, implementation of the latest safety and performance improvement changes into the set is not delayed until the new service literature is printed.

ElECTROSTATICAllY SENSITIvE DEvICES

Some semiconductor (solid-state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some ﬁeld-effect transistors and semiconductor “chip” components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on the body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as an ESD mat, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classiﬁed as “anti-static” can generate electrical charges sufﬁcient to damage ES devices. Do not use refrigerant-propelled chemicals which can generate electrical charge sufﬁcient to damage ES devices. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it.

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW 2008 PDP

INTRODUCTION

This manual covers two models from the 2008 Plasma Display Panel (PDP) product line. Each model is an HDTV with integrated HD tuner. All 2008 PDP models include USB Media Host and SimpLink. USB Media Host consists of a USB port on the back of the TV that supports USB flash memory drives loaded with media or firmware for the TV. SimpLink allows for control of other LG SimpLink products via the HDMI connection.

All PDP TV models are covered by a one year parts and labor warranty. Refer to the last page of the owner’s manual for more warranty information. When making a warranty repair involving a service bulletin, be sure to refer to the service bulletin number in the warratny claim.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS

Define - Look at the symptom carefully and determine what circuits could be causing 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. The frequency of power supplies will change with the load, or listen for a relay closing, etc. Observation of the front Power LED may give some clues.

Localize - Carefully check the symptom and determining the circuits to be checked. After

giving a thorough examination using your senses, check the DC Supply Voltages to those circuits under test. Always confirm the supplies are not only the proper level, but are noise free. If the supplies are missing check the resistance for possible short circuits.

Isolate - To further isolate the failure, check for the proper waveforms with an 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.

Correct - The final step is to correct the problem. Be careful of static sensitive components

and make sure to check the DC Supplies for proper levels. Make all necessary adjustments. Lastly, always perform a Safety AC Leakage Test before returning the product back to the Customer.

CAUTION

1) A (approximately) 10 minute pre-run time is required before any adjustments are performed.

2) Refer to the Voltage Sticker inside the panel when making adjustments on the Power

Supply, Y-Sus and Z-Sus boards and adjust to the specified voltage level (±1/2 V).

3) The PDP module uses high voltage, be cautious of electric shock from the PDP module. Before circuit board removal, check that the Power Supply and drive circuits are completely discharged because of residual current stored.

4) C-MOS circuits are used extensively for processing the Drive Signals and should be protected from static electricity.

5) The Plasma television and/or PDP Module must be carried/transported vertical, not horizontal. (If laying down on its face, foam padding is a must).

6) Exercise care when making voltage and waveform checks to prevent costly short circuits from damaging the unit.

7) Be cautious of loose screws and other metal objects to prevent a possible short in the circuitry.

8) New panels and frames are much thinner than previous models. Be Careful with flexing these panels. Be careful with lifting panels from a horizontal position. Damage to the Frame mounts or panel can occur.

REMOTE CONTROL

2008 models feature a newly designed, easier to use remote. The remote has fewer buttons than previous designs which was accomplished by moving many functions to an on-screen Quick Menu. The “Q. MENU” button on the remote opens the Quick Menu and the user can choose between options like aspect ratio, closed captions, sleep timer, etc.

The remotes are programmable for other devices. They also support SimpLink devices. When using SimpLink, the device buttons on the remote do not need to be pressed to switch modes before controlling external equipment. So, the External devices are controlled by the TV instead of the remote.

NEW FEATURES

Below are some of the new features on some 2008 PDP TVs.

FluidMotion (180Hz Effect) - Enjoy smoother, clearer motion with all

types of programming such as sports and action movies. The moving picture resolution give the impression of performance of up to 3x the panels actual refresh rate.

OVERVIEW

Full HD 1080p Resolution - Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x

1080p resolution for a more detailed picture. Standard HD PDPs are 1365 x 768p.

Expert Menu - Expert Menu features Imaging Science Foundation

Certified Calibration Controls (ISFccc) which allow precise in-home picture calibrations.

Public Display Mode - This is an additional menu with advanced startup

options like startup volume, start channel, etc. This can be accessed by holding the Menu key until it vanishes. Then key in 1, 1, 0, 5, and press enter.

POWER SUPPlY OPERATION

Refer to the figures on page 25-27. AC Voltage is supplied to the SMPS board at Connector CN101 from the AC Input Filter. Standby 5V is developed from 340V source supply (which during standby measures 159V hot ground). This supply is also used to generate all other voltages on the SMPS.

The 5V (standby) voltage is routed to the Sub Micon circuit (IC701) on the SMPS and through P813 to the Main board or Micon (IC100). LD703 will glow green to indicate STBY 5V has arrived.

AC detect Pin 18 of P813 is generated on the SMPS by monitoring the AC input and rectifying a small sample voltage. This AC Detect Voltage is routed to IC701 on the Sub Micon on the SMPS and the Micon (IC100) located on the Main board. It is used as a basic “SMPS OK” signal.

When the Micon (IC100) on the Main board receives an “ON“ command from either the keyboard or the Remote IR Signal, it outputs a high to RL-ON. This signal first turns on a DC level shifter Q706 which creates 5V General. LD703 now glows amber indicating 5V General has been generated. This 5V General now provides the pull up voltages that supply the output circuits to the SMPS. The RL-ON enters the SMPS board at Pin 19 of P813. The RL-ON Voltage is sensed by the Sub Micon (IC701) circuit which causes the Relay Drive Circuit to close Relay RL101. this brings the PFC source up to full power by increasing the 159V standby to 340V. At this time the 16V source becomes active and sent to the Main board via P813.

The next step is for the Micon (IC105) on the Main board to output a high on M5V_ON Line to the SMPS at P813 Pin 21 which is sensed by the Sub Micon IC (IC701) on the SMPS turning on the 5V VCC line. The last step to bring the supply to “Full Power” occurs when the Micon (IC100) on the Main board brings the VS-ON line high at Pin 20 of P813 on the SMPS board which when sensed by the Sub Micon IC (IC701) turns on the VA and VS Supplies (VA is brought high before VS).

Note: If a voltage is missing, check for proper resistance before proceeding.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS

Understanding the Power On Sequence when Troubleshooting a possible Power Supply Failure will simplify the process of isolating which circuit board failed to operate properly. In this Section we will investigate the Power on Sequence and examine ways to locate quickly where the failure occurred.

Check the Power On LED for Operation. A Red LED indicates a presence of 5V STB and AC-ON/DETECT. Failure of the Power ON LED to light is an indication of loss of 5V STB or AC ON/ Detect remember the 5V STB and AC-ON/DETECT are developed on the SMPS and sent to the Main board. Check LD703 for Green glow.

4 2

When Power is pressed, look for LD703 to change to Amber. Listen for a Relay Click. The click of the Relay is an indication of RL-ON going high. RL-ON is sent from the Main board to the SMPS and when present, the IC701 controls the relay operation. RL-ON going High and no relay is a failure of the SMPS. RL-ON staying low is a failure of the Main board.

Relay Operation means that the SMPS if working properly will output the 16V Supply to the Main board. This voltage will allow the Tuner, Audio and Video Circuits on the Main board to function, and if connected to an Antenna Input, Audio would be present. If the Relays closed and these supplies failed suspect a problem with the SMPS.

The next step of operation calls for the M5V_ON line from the Main board to the SMPS to go high pin 21 of P813. A high on the M5V_ON line activates the 5V VCC line. Loss of 5V VCC results in no “Raster”, no Display Panel Reset, no Y, Z, Control or X-board operation. Loss of 5V VCC and M5V_ON going high could be caused by any of these boards or failure of the SMPS. M5V_ON staying low indicates a problem on the Main board.

VS-ON is the last step of the Power Sequence and is responsible for bringing the VS and VA voltages up. The VS-ON signal pin 20 of P813 is sent from the Main board to the SMPS as a high, VS and VA and full operation of the Display Panel are now enabled. Loss of VS-ON results in loss of VA and VS and no Raster, no Panel Display Reset but audio would be present. If VS-ON went high and VS and VA where missing the problem

POWER SUPPlY STATIC TEST

This test can confirm the proper operation of the SMPS without the need to exchange the board.This Power Supply can operate in a No Load State. This means that by applying AC power to SC101 and all other plugs disconnected, this power supply will function. Simply removing P813 (Lower Right Hand Side of the board), will cause the “AUTO” Pin 22 to go high from its normal low state allowing the Power Supply to go to full power on mode when AC Power is Supplied. Be careful after this test and make sure the VA and VS lines have discharged before reconnecting the supply cables.

If the Y-Sus and Z-Sus boards are working normal, “Display Panel Reset” will be visible when the SMPS comes up to full power. Shorting the Auto Pattern Gen. test points at this time should result in test patterns on the screen.

vS/vA ADJUSTMENTS

This Power Supply will come up and run with “no” load (P812 pulled). Pull P813, apply AC power, and the Power Supply starts. Y-Sus/Z-Sus runs “Yes” both Y and Z waveforms.

These connector pins are too close to read without possible damage to the board. It’s a 60 Pin connector but only has labels 1-19 on the Control board. Looking closely, these test points are “every other pin”. The bottom TP represents the “19” label on the Control board. Pin 1 on the Y-Sus board is actually pin 60 on the Control board side. Take resistance readings with the board disconnected using the Diode mode on a digital volt meter. However, this connector has many more pins than shown on the Control board Labeling.

REMOvING RIbbON CAblES

To remove the Ribbon Cable from the connector, first carefully lift the Locking Tab from the back and tilt it forward (lift from under the tab as shown in Fig 1). The locking tab must be standing straight up as shown in Fig 2. Lift up the entire Ribbon Cable gently to release the Tabs on each end. (See Fig 2) Gently slide the Ribbon Cable free from the connector. To reinstall the Ribbon Cable, carefully slide it back into the slot see ( Fig 3), be sure the Tab is seated securely and press the Locking Tab back to the locked position see (Fig 2 then Fig 1).

INCORRECT INSTAll

In the image to the right, the ribbon cable is improperly seated into the connector. You can tell by observing the linearity. The Locking Tab will offer a greater resistance to closing in this case. Note that the cable is crooked. In this case the tab on the ribbon cable was improperly seated at the bottom. This can cause bars, lines, intermittent lines abnormalities in the picture. Remove the ribbon cable and re-seat it correctly.
