1. Precautions and Safety Notices
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This monitor is manufactured and tested on a ground principle that a user’s safety comes first. However, improper
used or installation may cause damage to the monitor as well as to the user.
WARNINGS:
This monitor should be operated only at the correct power sources indicated on the label on the rear of the monitor. If
you’re unsure of the power supply in you residence, consult your local dealer or Power Company.
Use only the special power adapter that comes with this monitor for power input.
Do not try to repair the monitor by yourself, as it contains no user-serviceable parts. Only the qualified technician can
repair it.
Do not remove the monitor cabinet. There are high-voltage parts inside that may cause electric shock to human
bodies.
Stop using the monitor if the cabinet is damaged. Have it checked by a service technician.
Put your monitor only in a lean, cool, dry environment. If it gets wet, unplug the power cable immediately and consult
your closed dealer.
Always unplug the monitor before cleaning it. Clean the cabinet with a clean, dry cloth. Apply non-ammonia based
cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass screen.
Do not place heavy objects on the monitor or power cord.
2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety visual inspections and the protection
afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage,
etc. Before replacing any of these components read the parts list in this manual carefully. The use of substitute
replacement parts, which do not have the same safety characteristics as specified in the parts list, may create shock,
fire, or other hazards.
3. SERVICE NOTES
When replacing parts or circuit boards, clamp the lead wires around terminals before soldering.
Keep wires away from high voltage, high temperature components and sharp edges.
Keep wires in their original position so as to reduce interference.
Adjustment of this product please refers to the user’ manual.

4. Circuit Description
4.1 Switching Mode Power Supply
4.1.1 AC Current Input Circuit
P801 is a connector for connecting AC Power. F801 is a fuse to protect all the circuit. AC
input voltage is from 90v to 264V. R801 and R802 joined between two inputting main circuit to
prevent man from shock. L801 is used to clear up low frequency wave. C801 and C802 are used
to discharge the waves that L801 produced. High frequency waves are damped by C801 and
C802. D801 is a rectifier which composed of 4 build-in diodes, it inverts AC to DC.
4.1.2 High Voltage to Low Voltage Control Circuit
C804 is used to smooth the wave from rectifier. IC802 is a highly integrated PWM controller.
When rectified DC high voltage is applied to the HV pin during start-up, the MOSFET Q804 is
initially off, and the Vcc pin capacitor is charged. When the Vcc pin voltage reaches
approximately 10V, the control circuitry is activated and the soft-start begins. The soft-start
circuit gradually increases the duty cycle of the MOSFET from zero to the maximum value
over approximately 4ms. If no external feedback/supply current is fed into the FB pin by the
end of the soft-start, the current Setpoint will be above the fault level, FAULT flag is raised, if
the FAULT duration exceeds 80ms, the output controller disable
Resistor R808, R809, R810, R811 are for line over voltage shutdown(OVP)
When PWM is turned off, the main current flow will be consumed through R804 and
D802, This will prevent MOSFET Q804 from being damaged under large current impulse
and voltage spike.
D803 and C807 to provide internal Auxiliary voltage to Vcc pin during normal operation.
Otherwise, error amplifier and feedback current input the FB pin for duty cycle control.
4.1.3 DC_5V and DC_14V Output Circuit
For DC 5V, D805 is used to rectify the inducted current. R828 and C814 are used to store
energy when current is reversed. The parts including C818, C822, C820,L803 are used to
smooth the current waves.
For DC 14V, D803 is used to rectify the inducted current. R827 and C813 are used to
store energy when current is reversed. The parts including C815, C817 and L802 are used to
smooth the current waves.
4.1.4 Feedback and OVP Protect Circuit
Pin R of IC803 is supplied 2.5-v stable voltage. It connects to 5V and 14V output through
R822, R823 and R824. R822, R823 and R824 are output sampling resistor. When the sampling
voltage more than 2.5V or less than 2.5V, current of FB IC802 will change, this can change the
voltage from T801.
OVP Protect Circuit: When output is overvoltage, the auxiliary winding voltage will be
increased, when it reaches about 14V. Q803 is triggered . It makes the IC802 Pin 1 exceed 5V,
then the IC802 output will be disabled.
Q801, R816, R817 and ZD803 make up of dummy loading circuit. For start-up sequence,
during 5V output take place high loading first, this dummy loading circuit operated to insure
14V not be increased.
4. 2 Inverter Circuit
1R503, ZD501, R502, Q501 components convert +14V voltage into +5.0V voltage, and the voltage supply to
IC501. The extra PWM pulse signal (BRIGHTNESS signal)input to control IC through R512, R514, C510, The
LCT pin is set to a DC voltage of 0.7V by using a resistor divider(R507, R516), change the duty of PWM pulse,
will regulate the lamp current. The ON/OFF voltage connect to pin10 of IC501 through D501, R501, A voltage of

2V to pin10 of IC501 enables the IC and activates the striking timer. The SSTCMP pin of IC501 performs the soft
function, the C511 set the time of SST. The operation frequency determined by external capacitor C512, C521 and
resistor R508 connected at CT pin of IC501. C515 connect the TIMER pin of IC501, the capacitor to set striking
time and shunt down delay time. DRV!, DRV2 output for power MOSFET U501, U502.
2.OZ9938 provides two drive signals forU501, U502, and they work in push pull topology driving, two
transformers are connected in parallel with each transformer driving two lamps in series.Turningeach N-Channel
MOSFET “on/off" complementarily, produces an alternating current through thetransformer primary and
secondary. The “on" duration of the switches determines the amount of energy delivered to the CCFLs. R504,
C504, R505, C505, R532, C529, R530, C522 are snubber networks, they suppress Voltage transient spike in drain
of power MOSFET.
3. R506, R510, C509, C513, C514, R525, R531, C528, C525, and C527 are connected betweenhigh voltage
output connector and ground, the divided AC voltage is inverted DC voltage through D502, D503, D508, and
D509.The sense voltage feedback to VSEN (pin 6 of IC501) for an over voltage/over current condition during
normal operation. R528, R533 are current sense resistor, current sense signal feed back to Isense (pin 5 of IC501)
for lamp “ON" detection.

6. Troubleshooting Flow Chart
1. Common Acknowledge
If you change the interface board, be sure that the U103, U105, U106 and U108
these three components also changed to the new I/F board because there was
program inside. If not, please re-write EDID and upload firmware into U106 via VGA
Cable.
If you adjust clock and phase, please do it at the condition of Windows shut down
pattern.
If you confirm the R.G.B. color is normal or not, please do it under 16-grey scalar pattern.
This LCM is analog interface. So if the entire screen is an abnormal color that
means the problem happen in the analog circuit part, if only some scale appears
abnormal color that stand the problem happen in the digital circuit part.
If you check the H/V position, please use the crosshatch pattern.
This LCM support more than 30 timing modes, if the input timing mode is out of
specification, the picture may appears abnormally.
If brightness uneven, repairs Inverter circuit or change a new panel.
If you find the vertical line or horizontal line lost on the screen, please change panel.
If you find the speaker don’t working, please don’t plug in audio cable, unless change
new speaker.
