WARNING FOR THE SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT.

• There are some special components used in LCD
monitor that are important for safety. These parts are

marked on the schematic diagram and the
replacement parts list. It is essential that these critical

parts should be replaced with the manufacturer’s
specified parts to prevent electric shock, fire or other
hazard.

• Do not modify original design without obtaining written
permission from manufacturer or you will void the
original parts and labor guarantee.

TAKE CARE DURING HANDLING THE LCD MODULE
WITH BACKLIGHT UNIT.

• Must mount the module using mounting holes arranged
in four corners.

• Do not press on the panel, edge of the frame strongly
or electric shock as this will result in damage to the
screen.

• Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp
objects, such as pencil or pen as this may result in
damage to the panel.

• Protect the module from the ESD as it may damage the
electronic circuit (C-MOS).

• Make certain that treatment person’s body are
grounded through wrist band.

• Do not leave the module in high temperature and in
areas of high humidity for a long time.

• The module not be exposed to the direct sunlight.

• Avoid contact with water as it may a short circuit within
the module.

• If the surface of panel become dirty, please wipe it off
with a softmaterial. (Cleaning with a dirty or rough cloth
may damage the panel.)

WARNING

BE CAREFUL ELECTRIC SHOCK !

• If you want to replace with the new backlight (CCFL) or
inverter circuit, must disconnect the AC adapter
because high voltage appears at inverter circuit about
650Vrms.

• Handle with care wires or connectors of the inverter
circuit. If the wires are pressed cause short and may
burn or take fire.

PRECAUTION

CAUTION

Please use only a plastic screwdriver to protect yourself
from shock hazard during service operation.

1. Scaler One chip IC(GMZAN-2, U201)

GMZAN-2 (U201) is one chip IC which it supports four internal function blocks of Video Amp, PLL,
A/D converter and Video processor.
Video signal (0.7Vp.p) clamped through C207, 208, 209 with matching IC’s proper cut off voltage.
This signal is processed as a proper 8 bit digital signal by U201’s amplifying, phase locking, A/D converting,
and scaling operations.
Also, U201 generates Clock, Horizontal and Vertical sync, Data Enable signals as LVDS IC’s input signals.

2. System Controller (Microprocessor) Circuit

1) Microprocessor (U501) distinguishes polarity and frequency by calculating horizontal and vertical sync input
from signal source.

2) Microprocessor (U501) carries out power control by sending power-down trigger signal to each IC.

3) Microprocessor (U501) communicates with EEPROM (U502), and GMZAN-2 (U201)
through IIC(2 lines) or 4 bit bus line. It makes all devices operated properly.

4) Microprocessor (U501) let User adjust screen by OSD function.

3. LVDS(Low Voltage Differential Signal, U411)

LVDS transmitter (U411) delivers digital signal to the receiver inside LCD module by method of abstraction.
The abstracted signals are pairs of RIN0+-, RIN1+-, RIN2+-, RIN3+-, and RCLKIN+- of which voltage swing
is 0.5V each.
When SHUTON pin’s input is High, transmitter goes to power down mode.

4. DC/DC block

This block is composed of regulators which supplies 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V.
Each regulator’s source power is 5VS and 12V from power block.
U806 supplies 2.5VD and 2.5VA and U802 supplies 3.3VD, 3.3V_AD, and 3.3V_PL powers to GMZAN-2’s
internal PLL, ADC, Pre-amp, and scaler by dropping down 5VS from power block.
U805 supplies MODPWR-3.3V for LCD module’s operation by dropping down 5VS from power block.
U803 supplies 5VR for Microprocessor and Logic IC(U701)’s operation by dropping down 12V from power block.

5. Power Block

This block supplies DC voltages of 5VS and 12V by converting AC input voltage of 100~240Vac.
Converting method is SMPS(Switching Mode Power Supply).

ADJUSTMENT

All adjustment are thoroughly checked and corrected
when the monitor leaves the factory, but sometimes
several minor adjustment may be required.
Adjustment should be following procedure and after
warming up for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Alignment appliances and tools.

- IBM Compatible PC

- Programmable Signal Generator.
(eg. VG-819 made by Astrodesign Co.)

- E(E)PROM with each mode data saved.

- Alignment Adapter and Software.

1. Adjustment for Factory Preset Mode

1) Run alignment program for LB500J on the IBM
compatible PC.

2) Select EEPROM All Init. command and Enter.

3) Display cross hatch pattern at Mode 1.

4) Select COMMAND PRESET START command.

5) Select EDID WRITE command and Enter.

2. Adjustment for White Balance

1) Display color 0,0 pattern at Mode 13.

2) Set External Bright to MAX position and Contrast to
MAX Position.

3) Select PRESET START → BIAS CAL command
and Enter.

4) No attempt to manually adjust, BIAS data is auto­matically adjusted and saved to the EEPROM.

5) Display color 15,0 pattern at Mode 13.

6) Select DRIVE CAL command and Enter.

7) Color 1 (9300K) and Color 2 (6500K) are
automatically adjusted and saved to the EEPROM.

8) Select PRESET EXIT command and Enter.
