Note: This maintenance manual is intended only for the reference of the maintenance people.
Please pay attention to the following points before carrying out the maintenance work.
Safety Precautions
Please read the “Points for attention for the Maintenance & Repair of PDP” and “Criterion for
Identifying the Defects on Screen” as below, before inspecting and adjusting the TV set.
1. “Points for attention for the Maintenance & Repair of PDP”
To avoid possible danger, damage or jeopardy to health and to prevent PDP screen from new
damage, the maintenance people must read the following carefully. If they ignore the following
warnings, there will be deathful risks:
1.1 Screens vary from one model to another and therefore not interchangeable. Be sure to use the
same type of screen in the replacement.
1.2 The operation voltage is approximately 350V for PDP module (including screen, driving circuit,
logic circuit and power module). If you want to conduct maintenance work on PDP module when the
set is in normal operation or just after the power is off, you must take proper measures to avoid
electric shock and never have direct contact or touch with the circuitry of the working module or
metal parts. That’s because within a short time relatively high voltage still remains on the capacitor
of the driving part even after the power is off. Make sure to begin relevant maintenance operation at
least one minute after the power is off.
1.3 Don’t apply on the module any power supply that is higher than the specification. If the power
supply used deviates from the value given in the specification, there might be a possibility of leading
to fire or damage to the module.
1.4 Never have operation or mounting work under unsuitable environment such as areas in the
vicinity of water – bathroom, laundry, water chute of kitchen – sources of fire, heat-radiation parts or
direct exposure to sunlight. Otherwise there will be kickbacks.
1.5 In case foreign substances such as water, liquid, metal slices or others fall into the module
carelessly power must be cut off immediately. Keep the module as it is and do not move anything on
the module. Otherwise it might be possible to contact the high voltage or cause shock short circuit
so that it may lead to fire or electric shock.
1.6 If there is smoke, abnormal smell or sound from the module, please cut the power off
immediately. Likewise in case the screen doesn’t work when the power is on or during the operation,
please also cut off the power at once. No more operation in this case.
1.7 Do not remove or plug its connection wire when the module is in operation or right after the
power is off. That’s because there remains a relatively high voltage on the capacitor of the driving
circuit. If there is a need to remove or plug in the connection wire, please wait at least one minute
after the power is off.
1.8 Considering the module has a glass faceplate, please avoid extrusion by external force lest it
should cause glass breakage that may get people injured. Two people are needed in cooperation to
move this module lest contingency takes place.
1.9 The complete TV set is designed on the basis of full consideration of thermal dissipation by
convection, with the round hole on the top for heat emission. To avoid overheat, please do not have
any covering on the hole during normal operation and never put it in the place where the space is
narrow and in bad ventilation.
1.10 There is quite a number of circuits in PDP that are integrated ones. Please be on guard against
1
Page 4
static electricity. During maintenance operation be sure to cover yourself with anti-static bag and
before operation make sure to have it sufficiently grounded.
1.11 There are a big number of connection wires distributed around the screen. Please take care
not to touch or scuff them during maintenance or removing the screen, because once they are
damaged the screen will fail to work and it’s not possible to repair it.
1.12 Connector for the circuit board of the screen part is relatively fine and delicate. Please take
care in the replacement operation lest it should get damaged.
1.13 Special care must be taken during transportation and handling because strenuous vibration
could lead to screen glass breakage or damage on the driving circuitry. Be sure to use a strong
outer case to pack it up before transportation or handling.
1.14 Please put it for storage in an environment in which the conditions are under control so as to
prevent the temperature and humidity from exceeding the scope stipulated in the specification. For
prolonged storage please cover it with anti-moisture bag and have them piled and stored in one
place. The environmental conditions are tabulated as below:
Temperature Scope for operation 0~50centigrade
Scope for storage -15~60centigrade
Humidity Scope for operation 20%~80%
Scope for storage 20%~80%
1.15 If a fixed picture is displayed for a long time, difference in its brightness and color may occur
compared with movable pictures. But it doesn’t show any problem and the reason is that there is
reduced density of fluorescent powder in the former. On the other hand, even if changes take place
in the picture, it can keep its brightness for a period of time (several minutes). It’s a feature inherent
with plasma and it’s not abnormal. However please try as much as possible to avoid showing a still
picture of high brightness for a long time during operation.
1.16 As a digitalized display devise, this module is provided with error diffusion technology and the
gray scale and false enhancement of contour can be displayed by reusing of sub-field. As compared
with cathode ray tube, it can be found in the moving picture that at the brim of the face of a person
there are some wrong colors.
1.17 During the display of graph (indicating the gradual change in brightness horizontally or
vertically) resulting from gray scale test it can be found that the brightness for the two adjacent
levels is uneven. This is caused by the reuse of sub-field, the display of load rectification and the
electrolysis.
1.18 The screen front plate is of glass. Please make sure that the screen has been put in place
during erection. If it is not in place before the erection begins it may lead to screen crack or
breakage.
1.19 Make sure the screw used in the mounting of the screen is of the original specs lest it should
cause damage to the screen due to mismatch. Special care should be taken not to use too long or
too big screw.
1.20 Care must be taken to guard against dust during assembling or dismantling, especially to avoid
dirt from falling in between the screen and the glass lest it should harm the receiving and viewing
effect.
1.21 There is piece of insulator stuck on the rear chassis corresponding to the power supply board.
It is used to isolate the cool part from the hot part. Please take care to keep it intact lest it should
2

become a potential safety trouble.
H
1.22 In addition to plasma screen, the glass is a part of high value. It has such functions as
anti-radiation, adjustment of color temperature etc. Please handle it carefully.

* Power supply board: to supply power for the screen, other functional modules on the screen, our own
main board, and video frequency processing board.
* X driving board: to produce and provide driving signal for X electrode according to the time sequence
signal sent from logic board.
* Y driving board: to produce and provide driving signal for Y electrode according to the time sequence
signal sent from logic board.
*Logic board: to process the image signal sent from the main board, to produce addressing signal and
to provide driving signal for X and Y driving boards.
*Logic BUFFER board (E, F): To convert the data signal and control signal sent from the logic board
into the signals required by COF
*Y BUFFER board(Upper,Lower): to transmit the scanning signal from the Y driving board to the
screen, which is divided into upper and lower parts.
*COF: to convert the signal sent from the logic BUFFER board into the address signal used by the
screen.
COF(7 blocks)

2. Trouble diagnosis:
1) The screen is not bright:
a. Check to see if the power supply plug from the power filter board to the power supply board is
well inserted into the socket. If not, plug it in.
b. Check if the fuse on the power supply board is blown up. If yes, replace it for a good one.
c. Remove digital processing board and analog board, ground socket X601 of the power supply
board to the AUTO mode.
Switch the power on and check if the output voltages of the power board are normal. If
normal, then the problem lies in digital processing board and analog board, which will be
dealt with separately. If abnormal, then first replace the power supply board to see if the
problem is solved.
2) There appears on the screen a line or several unlit lines.
Check if the socket between Y driving board and Y BUFFER is plugged well. If not, plug it well. If
yes then replace Y BUFFER (upper, lower) in respect to the upper , lower part of the dark line on
the screen.
3) There appear on the screen one or several horizontal lines that are much brighter than the
remaining horizontal lines at the edge:
Check if the socket between Y driving board and Y BUFFER is plugged well. If not, plug it well. If
yes then replace Y BUFFER (upper, lower) in respect to the upper , lower part of the dark line on
the screen.
4) There appear on the screen one vertical unlit line or a vertical entirely unlit block
30
Page 33
a. If it’s one vertical unlit line, then COF has problem.
b. If it’s a vertical entirely unlit block, then first check if the connection socket between COF and
logic BUFFER has problem. If not, check if the connection socket between the logic BUFFER
and the logic board is normal. If yes, replace the logic BUFFER. Finally, if the problem still
remains when the replacement is over, then replace the logic board.
5) There appears on the screen a mono color signal and one or several vertical bright lines of other
colors:
a. If it’s a vertical bright line of other colors, then the problem lies with COF or the screen.
b. If it’s an entire vertical block of other colors, then first check to see if the connection socket
between COF and logice BUFFER has problem. If no problem, check if the connection
socket between the logic BUFFER and the logic board is normal. If it’s normal, then
replace the logic BUFFER. If the problem still remains after the replacement, then replace
the logic board. Finally if the problem is still there, then the problem lies with COF.
6) There appear on the screen abnormal bright spots or blocks that are different from what’s
described above:
a. Check if the connection socket between COF and logic BUFFER board has been well
plugged.
b. Replace the logic BUFFER board. If it’s not solved then replace logic board. If the problem
still remains, then it’s the problem with COF.

Troubleshooting of LG 42” power board
Instruction of system and time sequence control
The whole system is composed of EMI, rectify, PFC, DC/DC and MCU. Therein MCU is the control
core of the whole system. On the one hand, it controls ON/OFF time sequence of each voltage and
the main, AC voltage test. On the other hand, it performs the standby CPU function with IIC bus to
the main CPU.
Time sequence
The system has two working modes: AUTO and NORMAL, AUTO mode is used for adjustment and
service, while NORMAL mode is used for TV at normal time. At AUTO mode(short X610), connect
5VCTRL with load of about 2A, turn on power, then output several low-voltage power supplies,
delay 1.5s or so and output Va, Vs. First stop the output of Va, Vs at power-down, and active
discharge to output-capacitor of Va,Vs. on condition that the voltage Va,Vs each is lower than 10
percent (if unsatisfied, then wait), then delay 0.5s and stop all the low-voltage power supplies
except for 5VSB into Standby mode.
At NORMAL mode, MCU receives power-on control of IR or button board, outputs several
low-voltage power supplies, after main CPU sending Va,Vs start-control through IIC bus, outputs
Va,Vs. at the status of turn on, MCU receives power-down control from main CPU and performs
power-down time sequence (power-down time sequence is the same at AUTO mode).
At the two modes, when detect the lower input AC voltage, it will not perform power-on. At the status
of turn on, when detect the lower input AC voltage or 5VCTRL,Va,Vs beyond normal scope value, it
will perform the power-down time sequence above and enter into Standby mode.
Trouble diagnosis
The voltage 5VSB is normal, while the voltages of other circuits are zero, in this case, it may switch
power on at AUTO mode and check if 5VCTRL delay 1.5s or so, if NO, check 5VCTRL and its
fore-circuit; if YES, check LED (LED601), if LED lights, check the circuit of Va, jf not, check the
circuit of Vs (note: premise N608 and its periphery circuit are normal). If the voltages of other circuits
are abnormal, check the corresponding circuits.
Trouble phenomenon (premise the voltage 5VSB is normal)
The main voltage of power board is abnormal, which is commonly detected to enter into Standby
mode, the phenomenon is that switch power off immediately after switching power on.
AC detect circuit or IR, button circuit is abnormal, which will lead to unable to switch power on.
The low-voltage power supplies are normal, while the voltage Va, Vs is zero, it maybe
communication abnormal of IIC bus between MCU and main CPU.
