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

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.

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.

Working principle analysis of the unit

1. TV board part

This set adopt all system for integrative tuner (include high frequency and intermediate frequency
amplification circuit), the antenna receive the signal and send to the tuner, the tuner is controlled
N602 PW118 MCU (by SDA, SCL), and select the appropriate channel, switch the right mode, after
the high frequency amplification and intermediate frequency amplification, output the video and
audio signals.
The audio signal output by the tuner send directly to AV switch (M52797), select this signal and the
audio signal from AV1, AV2, YPbPr, output the audio signal of the selected channel and separate to
two ways; one way after amplifying 6 db is AU OUT; another way send to audio and sound
processor IC N907 R2A15900. In R2S15900, such signal and audio signal of VGA, HDMI, YPbYr1
are selected by MCU, and output the signal by volume and treble-bass control into D type power
amplifier to amplify, finally output to sound box and represent the sound. When insert the earphone,
the jack of the earphone with the switch send the left/right track of the output of R2S15990 to the
earphone power amplifier N908 NJW1109, after amplifying, when use the earphone output to the
earphone jack to listen (the earphone can select by the customer’s request).
The sound power amplifier MPS7720 is the high effective D type of power amplifier of the single
track. The output power can reach 20W without radiating fin, provided with the protective function of
overcurrent and overheat, when the direct-to-ground input is shorting, it can protect automatically
and stop outputting. If it has been not shorting, it can resume normal circumstance. Therefore,
when plug and play the audio cable (do not suggest such operation), if the set have no sound
because of incautious shorting, it will get right as long as you restart it.

2.The picture part

The video signal outputted by the tuner send to AV switch M52797 (N903), input the video signal of
AV1 and AV2 to M52797 (N903), and switch to gain two group of video output. One group output of
video signal sends to the AV-OUT terminal with its sound output and treat them as the AV OUT
output. Another group output of video signal send to PW2300 and make the video decoding, then
the video signal of S-VIDEO, YpbPr1, YpbPr2, VGA send to PW2300 (N700) synchronously. All of
these video signals shall be sent to this chip to make the video decoding or the AD conversion, and
then output the 24bit digital RGB signal and the related sync signal. PW2300 (N700) complete
mostly the function of 3D comb filter, the channel switch, 5 line Y/C separation, the colour decoding,
and so on. 24 bit digital RGB signal and the related sync signal are outputted by PW2300 (N700)
and are inputted to the next step chip PW118 (N602). The HDMI signal is inputted to AD9398 (N208)
to make the decoding, at the same time 24 bit digital signal and the related sync signal are
outputted and sent to PW118 (N602) to make the processing. PW118 is the new high-powered
image manipulation chip of Pixelworks. The 24 bit digital RGB signal and the related sync signal
outputted by AD9398 and PW2300 shall be inputted to this chip to make the image manipulation. In
addition to the function of interlaced to line-by-line, this chip further include the function of image
enhancement, etc.. PW118 can make the format switch for the different format inputted signal
(under the customer’s request select SCALER function), and accord with the format request of the
screen, and output the low-voltage difference signal of digital RGB LVDS, and then send to the
screen and drive the screen. PW118 is the main CPU as well, the procedure store in external flash
MX29LV800 N404. The software update of RS-232 is that update the stored content of the N404 by

PW118.

* 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: To convert the data signal and control signal sent from the logic board into
the signals required by COF.
*Y BUFFER board: 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.

2.Trouble diagnosis:

2.1 The screen is not bright:
a. Check if the power supply plug from the power filters 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 our main board and the video frequency processing board, ground the pin 4

and then push the slide switch SW2001 on the logic board to the internal modes (1, 3 up and 2, 4

down) from external modes (1, 2, 4 up and 3down).

Switch the power on and see if the screen is lit. If the screen can give a normal and completely
white field signal, then the problem lies in our main board or video frequency processing board,
which will be dealt with separately.
d. If the screen is not lit, then first replace the power supply board to see if the problem is solved.
e. If the problem remains after the power supply board is replaced, then the problem lies in the
screen, replace the entire screen for treatment.

2.2 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

19

yes then replace Y BUFFER (upper, lower) in respect to the upper, lower part of the dark line on the
screen.

2.3 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

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 sockets 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 logic 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.
