1 Safety Precautions

1.1. General Guidelines

1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, re place all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.

3. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

4. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, re place all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

5. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.

6. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

1.2. Touch-Current Check

1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.

2. Connect a measuring network for touch currents between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Use Leakage Current Tester (Simpson 228 or equivalent) to measure the potential across the measuring network.

4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.

5. Reserve the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measure.

6. The potential at any point (TOUGH CURRENT) expressed as voltage U For a. c.: U1 = 35 V (peak) and U2 = 0.35 V (peak); For d. c.: U

Note:

The limit value of U mA d. c.

The limit value U

7. In case a measurement is out of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

= 1.0 V,

= 0.35 V (peak) for a. c. and U1 = 1.0 V for d. c. correspond to the values 0.7 mA (peak) a. c. and 2.0

= 35 V (peak) for a. c. correspond to the value 70 mA (peak) a. c. for frequencies greater than 100 kHz.

and U2, does not exceed the following values:

2Warning

2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) 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 incid ence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface su ch as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder rem oval devices not classified as [anti-static (ESD protected)] can generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material).

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

Caution

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise ham less motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an ES device).

2.2. About lead free solder (PbF)

Note: Lead is listed as (Pb) in the periodic table of elements. In the information below, Pb will refer to Lead solder, and PbF will refer to Lead Free Solder. The Lead Free Solder used in our manufacturing proc ess and discussed below is (Sn+Ag+Cu). That is Tin (Sn), Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) although other types are available.

This model uses Pb Free solder in it’s manufacture due to environmental conservation issues. For service and repair work, we’d suggest the use of Pb free solder as well, although Pb solder may be used.

PCBs manufactured using lead free solder will have the PbF within a leaf Symbol PbF stamped on the back of PCB.

Caution

• Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder. Typically the melting point is 50 ~ 70 °F (30~40 °C) higher. Please use a high temperature soldering iron and set it to 700 ± 20 °F (370 ± 10 °C).

• Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100 °F or 600 °C). If you must use Pb solder, please completely remove all of the Pb free solder on the pins or solder area before applying Pb sol der. If this is not practical, be sure to heat the Pb free solder until it melts, before applying Pb solder.

• After applying PbF solder to double layered boards, please check the component side for excess solder which may flow onto the opposite side. (see figure below)

Suggested Pb free solder

There are several kinds of Pb free solder available for purchase. This product uses Sn+Ag+Cu (tin, silver, copper) solder. However, Sn+Cu (tin, copper), Sn+Zn+Bi (tin, zinc, bismuth) solder can also be used.

7 Service Fixture & Tools

7.1. SC jig

Purpose:

To find the failure board (SC or SU/SD) when the power LED is blinking 7 times.

SC jig:

Jumper connector to connect to SC50 connector on SC board

Part number:

TZSC09187

How to use: Caution: Remove SC jig from SC board after inspection.

1. Remove all connector between SC board and SU/SD board to isolate SC board from both SU and SD board electrically. Note: The board will be damaged if all connector is not removed (for ex ample; remove connector on ly for SU board and stay connecting with SD board. The board will be damaged.)

2. Connect SC jig to connector SC50 at left bottom side of SC board

3. Turn of the TV/Display Unit and confirm the power LED blinking. LED blinking: Possible cause of failure is in SC board No LED blinking (Lighting or no lighting): Possible cause of failure is in SU or SD board

4. After inspection, turn off the TV/Display Unit and wait a few minutes to discharge.

5. Remove SC jig from SC board.

Remark: This SC jig can be used for all 2009 Plasma TV and Plasma Display.

9.2. Adjustment

9.2.1. Sub-Contrast adjustment

Name of measuring instrument Connection Remarks RF generator Base Band signal generator HD signal generator

Steps Remarks

Adjustment of TV (RF system)

Note:

In adjustment, you must setting to modulation of signal at 85%.

Ref.:

RF signal modulation spec. UK models: 80% Other models: 90%

1. Receive a RF PAL 100% Full White or Split Colour bar shown as below .

2. Goes into service adjustment mode.

3. Push a [ 1 ] or [ 2 ] key, and goes into adjustment mode for [ CONTRAST ].

Adjustment

1. The colour key yellow button of remote control is pushed.

2. The OSD character of sub-contrast becomes red. (Inside under automatic adjustment)

3. The OSD character of sub-contrast returns to black.

4. End.

Note:

Sub-contrast adjustment is unadjusted for AV/ HD input. But, when needing the adjustment chosen manually, please refer to [ alternative method ].
