1. Precautions and Safety Notices
1. Caution :
No modification of any circuit should be attempted. Service work should only be performed after you are
thoroughly familiar with all of the following safety checks and servicing guide line.
2. Safety Check :
Care should be taken while servicing this LCD display. Because of the high voltage used in the inverter
circuit. These voltages are exposed in such areas as the associated transformer circuits.
3. POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The external power converter for this display utilizes AC and DC cords, AC cord is detachable, but DC
cord is permanently attached. Any attempt to replace another adapter could result in serious problem
on the display.
4. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK
4-1 Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer during this check.
4-2 Connect a 1500 ohm, 10 watt resistor, paralleled by a 0.15uF capacitor between each metallic part
and a good earth ground.
4-3 Use an AC voltmeter with 1000 ohm / volt or more sensitivity and measure the AC voltage across
the combination 1500 ohm resistor and 0.15uF capacitor.
4-4 Move the resistor connection to each exposed metallic part and measure the voltage.
4-5 Reverse the polarity of the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat the above measurement.
4-6 Voltage measured must not exceed 1.5 volt RMS, from any exposed metallic part to the ground. A
leakage current tester may be used in the above hot check, in which case any circuit measured must
not exceed 1.0 milliamp. In the case of a measurement exceeding the 1.0 milliamp value, a
rework is required to eliminate the chance of a shock hazard.

a) Clock Generation :
Crystal Input Clock (TCLK and XTAL). This is the input pair to an internal crystal oscillator and
corresponding logic. A 14.318 MHz crystal is recommended.
b) Hardware Reset ( Pin 17):
Hardware Reset signal is generated by MAX6326 (U5).It asserts a reset signal for at least 100 ms.
c) Analog to Digital Converter:
The gm2121 chip has three ADC's (analog-to-digital converters), one for each color (red, green and
blue) .The analog RGB signals are connected to gm2121 as described
below
d) OSD: The gm2121 has a fully programmab le, high-quality OSD controller. The on-chip static RAM (4096
words by 24 bits) stores the cell map and the cell definitions.
e) On-Chip Micro controller (OCM): The gm2121 on-chip micro controller (OCM) serves as the system micro
controller. That is, it programs the gm2121 and manages other devices in the system such as the keypad, the
backlight, LED, audio and non-volatile RAM. Using general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins.

VG700b-2
f) Panel Power Sequencing ( PPWR, PBIAS) ( Pin 40~41) : The gm2121 has two dedicated outputs PPWR
and PBIAS ( Pin113 and Pin114) to control LCD power sequencing once data and control signals are
stable.
g) Parallel ROM Interface Port (Pin 1~6, Pin 139~160: The gm2121 has parallel ROM interface port,
Pin139~156 for address bus, pPin1~6, Pin159 and Pin160 for data bus.
h) Panel interface (Pin 48~57, Pin64~73): The gm2121 driver interface is highly programmable. It supports
dual bus / dual port for SXGA drivers.
1.3 Power Regulator AIC1563 (U6), LT1117 (U7, U8): The AIC1563 is a monolithic control IC containing the
primary functions required for DC to DC converters. The device consists of an internal temperature
compensated reference, comparator, controlled duty cycle.
Oscillator with an active current sense circuit. Desired output voltage is determined by the equation,
Volt = 1.25 (1 + R104 / R103), In this case, the output voltage is 5 Volts
The AIC1117 is a low dropout positive adjustable regulator with minimum of 1A output current capability,
so it is well suited for 3.3 V and 2.5 V Regulator.
U6 is a 2.5 V regulator, desired output voltage is determined by the equation.
Volt=1.25 x (1 + R93/R92) = 2.5,
U5 is a 3.3 V regulator, desired output voltage is determined by the equation
Volt=1.255 x (1+ R95/R94) = 3.3
1.4 Audio Amplifier TPA3003D2 (U1)
The TPA3003D2 is a class D, 2 channel audio power amplifier capable of delivering 3W of continuous average
power to 8 ohms with less than 1% (THD) from a 12 V power supply. TPA3003D2 can directly drive 8 ohms
speaker, and does not require output coupling capacitor, bootstrap capacitor, or LC filter. Audio line-in is fed into
pin 2, 6 of the TPA300 3 D2 . The output gain is controlled b y pin 11.
1.5 Inverter Board
This is a specific inverter for L7VB monitor backlight which converters 12 Vdc to drive four cold cathode
fluorescence tubes. Electrical specification described as below.
