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 voltage
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 capacito r.
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 .

Correct methods : Incorrect Methods :
Only touch the metal-frame of the panel or the front
cover of the monitor .
Do not touch the surface of the polarizer .
Surface of the panel is pressed by fingers & this may
cause “ MURA “
Take out the monitor with cushion Take out the monitor by grasping the LCD panel.
That may cause “ MURA“.

6. THEORY OF OPERATION
This section describes the function of the LCD monitor per functional block.
This monitor includes MB board, power board and button board.
6.1 MB BOARD
The MB board is a two-layer, single-landed design with ground and internal planes provided. DC power from the power
board enter the board through a 6P connector. Other connector on the board is for button board .The VGA cable is a signal
cable that contains video signal, sync signal and DDC signal from PC VGA adapter. This system board consists of 4
functional areas : flat panel controller, MCU with flash ROM , power regulator .
6.1.1 Flat panel controller… MST8131A (U3)
The heart of the system board is MStart MST8131A. The MST8131A is a graphics processing IC for LCD monitor. It
provides all key IC functions required for LCD panel. On-chi p f unct i o ns i nclude a high-speed triple-ADC , PLL, high
scaling engine, OSD controller.
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) Analog to Digital Converter:
The MST8131A chip has three ADC's (analog-to-digital converters), one for each color (red, green and blue) .The
analog RGB signals are connected to MST8131A as described
below
Pin Name Pin Number
Red + 63
Red - 62
Green + 60
Green - 59
Blue + 58
Blue - 57
c). OSD : The MST8131A has a fully programmable ,high-quality OSD controller. The on-chip static RAM(4096
words by 24 bits) stores the cell map and the cell definitions..
d). MTV312 Micro controller: The MTV312 micro controller(MCU) serves as the system micro controller. It’s
programs the MST8131A and manages other devices in the system such as the keypad, the backlight, LED, audio
and non-volatile RAM. using general purp ose input/output (GPIO) pins.

e). Panel Power Sequencing ( VDDCTRL1, 2) ( Pin 32, 3) : The MTV312 has two dedicated outputs
VDDCTRL1 and 2 ( Pin32 and Pin3) to control LCD power sequencing once data and control signals
are stable.
f). Panel interface (Pin 1~25, Pin75~128) : The MTV312 driver interface is highly programmable. It supports
dual bus / dual port for SXGA drivers.
6.1.2 Power Regulator MC34063A (U6),AIC1739 (Q4) : The MC34063A 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 are determined by the equation,
Volt = 1.25 ( 1 + R67 / R66), In this case, the output voltage are 3.3 Volts
The AIC1739 is a low dropout positive adjustable regulator with minimum of 300mA output current capability.
So it is well suited for 3.3 V and 2.5 V Regulator.
6.1.3 Power Regulator MC34063A (U7) : The MC34063A 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 are determined by the equation,
Volt = 1.25 ( 1 + R85 / R86), In this case, the output voltage are 5.0 Volts for panel power.
