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 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 .

Handing and placing method
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“.
Place the monitor on a clean & soft foam pad . Place the monitor on foreign objects .
That could scratch the surface of panel

Adjust the menu items shown below by using the up and down buttons.
A. Auto Image Adjust automatically sizes, centers, and fine tunes the video signal to eliminate waviness and distortion.
Press the [2] button to obtain a sharper image.
NOTE: Auto Image Adjust works with most common video cards. If this function does not work on your LCD display,
then lower the video refresh rate to 60 Hz and set the resolution to its pre-set value.
B. Contrast adjusts the difference between the image background (black level) and the foreground (white level).
C. Brightness adjusts the lamps current to control the screen brightness.
D. Color Adjust provides several color options: preset color temperatures and Custom User Color which allows you to adjust
red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The factory setting for this product is 6500K (6500° Kelvin).
9300K — Adds blue to the screen image for cooler white (used in most office settings with fluorescent lighting).
5400K — Adds red to the screen image for warmer white and richer red.
Custom User Color — Individual adjustments for red, green, and blue.
1 To select color (R, G or B) press button [2].
2 To adjust selected color, press or .
3 When you are finished making all color adjustments, press button [1] twice.
E. Information displays the timing mode (video signal input) coming from the graphics card in your computer. See your
graphic card’s user guide for instructions on changing the resolution and refresh rate (vertical frequency). VESA 1280 x
1024 @ 60 Hz (recommended) means that the resolution is 1280 x 1024 and the refresh rate is 60 Hertz.
F. Manual Image Adjust controls are explained below:
H. Size (Horizontal Size) adjusts the width of the screen image.
NOTE: Vertical size is automatic with your LCD display. H./V. Position adjusts horizontal and vertical position of the screen image. You can toggle between Horizontal and
Vertical by pressing button [2]. Horizontal moves the screen image to the left or to the right. Vertical moves the screen image
up and down.
Fine Tune sharpens focus by aligning the illuminated text and/or graphic characters.
Sharpness adjusts the clarity and focus of the screen image.
Setup Menu controls are explained below:
Language allows you to choose the language used in the menus and control screens.
Resolution Notice displays the recommended resolution for this LCD display.
Enable allows the Resolution Notice to appear on-screen.
Disable will not allow the Resolution Notice to appear on-screen.
OSD Timeout sets the length of time an on-screen display screen is displayed. For example, with a“15 second”
setting, if a control is not pushed within 15 seconds, the display OSD disappears.
G. OSD Position allows you to move the on-screen display menus and control screens.
H. Memory Recallreturns adjustments to the original factory settings if the display is operating in a factory Preset Timing

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-chip functions include 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 purpose 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.
