D7000 Series LED TV Power supply and Backlight Failures
Troubleshooting the Samsung D7000 LED Series TVs has been a challenge for many techs, especially when trying to determine whether a problem is caused by the Power Supply, a Panel LED Backlight failure, or a Main Board failure. This has led to delays in repair, incorrect board and panel replacements, and REDO.
The Power On Sequence:
To test the Power On sequence, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Power Connectors on the SMPS Power Supply. In this example, that's CNM803 to the Main Board and CNL802A and CNL802B to the Panel‘s LED Backlights. Their pin designations should also be printed and visible on the board.
2. With the TV in Powered Standby Mode, verify Power Standby ―A5V‖ voltage on the Power Supply‘s CNM803 - pin 18 in this example. The ―A‖ signifies ―Always On‖. It should read approx 5.3V with respect to chassis ground, supplying important standby voltage to the Main Board.
3. Activate Power On while observing the Power on/off command from the Main Board, pin 20 on the same connector. It should change from approx 0V to 3.3VDC with Power On.
All the switched voltage supplies, usually designated with a ―B‖, will be turned on. This is a good time to quickly check those voltages. In this example, check B13VDC on pins 7 and 9 and B5VDC on pins 17 and 19 on CNM803.
4. Locate the Back Light On, BLU ON/OFF command coming from the Main Board, Pin 12 CNM803. It should change from approx 0V to approx 5VDV after a short delay of around 1 second from Power On, activating the back lights. The Samsung Smart TV Logo should then appear on screen for a few seconds, and then the TV displays the source selected. The backlights will momentarily turn back off after the Boot Logo is displayed and then back on with the input video displayed. This can be observed on the multi meter BLU on/off and through the rear of the panel and the front screen display.
5. Four P-DIM Control Signals, P-DIM 1 thru P-DIM 4, are sent to the Power Supply from the Main Board controlling independent sets of LED Backlights to the panel. They are TTL type control signals that can be tested with a standard multi meter. To verify these signals are working correctly, activate the TV‘s menu and select Back Light from the Picture Menu.
6. Check the voltage at P-DIM 1 (With respect to chassis ground) while changing the Backlight Menu from the 0 minimum thru 20 max setting. The voltage should change from approx. 0.2V min to 3.3V at max Backlight setting. You can repeat the test for P-DIM2 thru P-DIM4. This verifies the operation of the Main Board Back Light control circuit.

Back Light Power Supply Operation and Testing
The LED D7000 Power supply consists of 4 independent supplies. One supply for each of the four sets of LEDs. The DC Operating Voltage can be checked at the four Electrolytic capacitors C9110, C9210, C9310 & C9410 in this example. The voltage at each capacitor will be approximately 150V for 46 inch D7000 models. This is based on the number of LEDs used in each set. The larger the size TV, the more LEDs required and the higher the voltage supplied. Now carefully check the voltage at each capacitor‘s plus side. They should each read approx the same voltage (149VDC in this example), verifying that each of the four backlight supplies are OK.
Back Light LED Configuration
The SMPS Power Supply Board outputs the Back Light Drive voltages at CNL802B to the right half Panel LEDs, R1 thru R8, and at CNL802A to the left half Panel LEDs, L1 through L8.
The left and right side Panel LEDs are combined at the power supply and grouped into four distinct sets of LEDs to allow separate top to bottom backlight Screen control.
The R1 set of LEDs are connected in series with R2, L2, and L1, and are Edge Positioned in the Panel to light across the Top Quarter of the Screen.
The R3 set of LEDs are connected in series with R4, L4, and L3, and are Edge Positioned in the Panel to light the 2nd Quarter of the Screen.
R5 LEDs are connected in series with R6, L6, and L5, and are Edge positioned to light the 3rd Quarter of the screen. R7 LEDs are connected in series with R8, L8, and L7, and are Edge positioned to light the bottom quarter of the screen.
Since Right Side LEDs and Left side LEDs are connected in series, disconnecting either CNL802A or B will open each string of LEDs and create a no Back Light condition.
Looking at the Drive Voltages in each string:
The four Backlight DC Supply Voltages, approx 150V each, connect directly to the beginning of each of the four string sets of LEDs at R1+, R3+, R5+, and R7+ (Figure 1, left side).
The four P-DIM Control signals from the Main Board are processed by the Power Supply and produce important Back Light Control Voltages for each return line: L1-, L3-, L5-, and L7- located at the end of each string set of LEDs (Figure 1, right side).
The 150 VDC Supply voltages will remain constant while the Backlight control voltages will vary from approximately 0.7V at the maximum Backlight setting to approx 34V at the minimum Backlight setting. This can be observed by adjusting Backlight from 20 thru 0 in the on screen menu setting. The voltages across each individual string of LEDs will also vary from approx 37VDC to 27VDC with the Max to Min Backlight changes as shown on the bottom of the Figure 1 diagram. The corresponding voltage changes at each junction, with reference to chassis ground, are also shown and can be verified at the CNL802A and CNL802B panel connectors.
Testing the SMPS and Backlight Operation with No Main Board Connection
It‘s important to understand that disconnecting the Power Supply line to the Main Board and plugging in the AC Power Cord turns on the Power Supply circuits but does not light the Backlights in this model. Follow these steps to test the SMPS and Backlights:
1. With the AC Power Cord removed, disconnect the Power Supply Cable to the Main Board at the Main Board end.
2. Connect the AC Power Cord. This will turn on the SMPS Power Supply, but, because all four P-DIM Control Signals are at approximately 0V, there will be no Backlight LEDs lighting.
3. Check the four SMPS Backlight Power Supply Voltages at the four Electrolytic Capacitors: C9010, C9210, C9310 and 9410. They will have changed from 150VDC, the normal supply operation, to approx 95V VDC. The voltages may also begin fluctuating at each supply between 50-85VDC with the supply cycling on and off. This is also a normal possibility in this condition.
4. Check the four backlight strings one at a time. Using an external wire jumper, locate and connect A5V to the P-DIM.
1 control pins found on CNM803. This will light the left and right LEDs responsible for the top quarter of the screen.
The particular responsible supply, C9110 in this case, will jump from 95V to the normal 150VDC while the other three remain at approx 95V.
The SMPS supply may remain stable enough to simply light the responsible LEDs. However, the power supply error detection circuit may shut off the responsible supply just as it reaches near 150VDC, turn it back on, and then repeat the cycle causing the LED Back Lights to also cycle on and off and repeat indefinitely. This does not prevent the backlights and supply from being tested.
5. Connect A5V to the P-DIM 2 control pins on CNM803.The responsible Left and Right LEDs will now light the 2nd
quarter row of the screen. Its responsible supply will also jump from approx 95VDC to approx 150VDC normal operation.
6. Connect A5V to P-DIM3 and observe the 3rd quarter of the screen for proper LED and SMPS operation.
7. Finally, connect A5V to P-DIM4 and observe the bottom quarter of the screen for proper LED and SMPS operation.
Troubleshooting a Particular Failure
SYMPTOM:
The TV turns on with seemingly normal looking video of the Boot Logo for approximately 2 seconds, and then turns off. It remains off for approx 2 second and cycles back on with Boot Logo for about 2 seconds again with good video. This process continues cycling over and over again. The relay on the power supply can also be heard clicking on and off during this time. The Video may advance further to display the input video in addition to the Boot Logo during testing while it continues to cycle on and off indefinitely.
SOLUTION
1. Measuring the four Backlight Power Supplies at each capacitor (C9110, C9210, C9310, and C9410) reveals that 3 of them rise to approximately their normal supply voltage of 150V before dropping with the power cycle off, while the other supply, output at C9210 in this example, rises to over 290VDC before dropping with power cycle off.
OBSERVATION: This condition indicates that there is either a SMPS failure or an LED (Panel) open load failure condition. The supply is likely cycling on/off due to an Over Voltage detection condition. This can be verified by isolating the SMPS from the Main Board.
2. Removing the power supply connection to the Main Board and connecting A5V to P-DIM1 correctly lights L/R LEDs responsible for the top ¼ of the screen, even though in some cases it may power cycle on and off as in this example. Connecting A5V to P-DIM2, however, does not light the next quarter of the screen. Connecting A5V to P-DIM3 correctly lights the next quarter of the screen. Connecting A5V to P-DIM4 correctly lights the bottom ¼ of the screen.
OBSERVATION: Failure of the second quarter of the screen is obvious. The failure may point to either an open set of LEDs, in particular R3, R4, L4, and L3, on the Panel, or a possible Power Supply failure.
3. With the power supply connection to the Main Board still removed, each of the four Backlight supplies now measures approx 95VDC, which may fluctuate between 50VDC and 85VDC while powering on/off for circuit protection. Measuring the voltages at the suspected string set of LEDs reveals a normal 50VDC – 85VDC fluctuation at input R3+ but an improper 0V reading at each of the remaining R4, L4 and L3 pins located on CNL802A and CNL802B.
CONCLUSION: Confirmation of a properly operating SMPS Power Supply and open string set of LEDs is confirmed, since an open series set of LEDs would break the circuit and prevent normal voltage readings at R4, L4, and L3.
SOLUTIONThe SMPS is OK. Replace the defective Panel.
POINT TO BE NOTED WHILE TROUBLESHOOTING
# D7000 Samsung LED TVs have four distinct Backlight supplies within the SMPS that control 4 separate sets of LEDs.
# Backlight supplies can be checked by comparing voltages at their related Electrolytic Capacitors on the SMPS Board.
# The Main Board controls the 4 separate sets of LEDs with P-DIM1 through P-DIM4.
# When the Power Supply connection to the Main Board is removed, all the SMPS Supplies will turn on but the Back light LEDs will not light.
# Each set of LEDs can be individually tested by supplying A5V to P-DIM1 through P-DIM4, lighting the combined Left/
# Right Panel LEDs one quarter at a time top to bottom and across the screen.
# Removing CNL802A or CNL802B, the Left and right side sets of LED, will create a no backlight condition since they are connected in series.
# Checking Voltages at the four individual supplies and CNL802A or CNL802B can determine a defective set of panel
# Back Light LEDs or a defective SMPS Power Supply.

REPAIR TVs Samsung D5500 SERIES - No. 3 OPERATION OF PULSED SOURCE

INTRODUCTION

This source is characterized by its simplicity compared with the sources of the classic LCD with CCFL tubes. Indeed consumption 32 "is only 80W and that consumption and sophistication not preacondicionadoras such as stages and multiple sources (with two or three pulse transformers) are required. 
However, it is common that most modern LED TV, have a pre-conditioning stage. not the problem of the capacitive load on the network, but for another reason: to further reduce the depth of the cabinet, as the pre conditioner works with major 1uF capacitors or less.
Our source is armed FAN7602C using an integrated control circuit only 8 feet, which has no internal power key. Only provides excitation for an external MOSFET and of course the regulation of the output voltage and protections.

3.2 REQUIREMENTS PULSED SOURCE

The main plate requires very little voltage source; 5V and 12V only and exciter chain only LEDs on this apparatus and requires 145V.
As for the required power is only 80W which invited the manufacturer to perform a source of very simple fly-back, with main capacitors low profile to not increase the depth of the cabinet.
The source does not require more instruments for repair. Of course it never hurts an oscilloscope, of whatever type, analog or digital from 10 MHz onwards. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two types of oscilloscopes, is the ease of memorizing oscillograms that has the digital, allowing you to form a good library of waveforms for when you need to repair another source. But if you have no oscilloscope do not worry. It can be effectively replaced by a RF probe and a detector for horizontal output stage, which can be found on this page in the workshop section from where you can download for free.
The most important thing to repair this stage is to know how it works and apply the method we are going to explain here. . If you are thinking: I will change the IC and ready, we notify you that it is not the prime suspect flaws in this source. The main suspect is the Indian classical Tocapotee because failure to restart, the first thing is to start resolder source components and damage what was wrong. In a word we can find any damaged component and need to know how to prove it. It is not uncommon to repair the source is a problem in the parallel flash memory. Tighten the client to confess if before bringing the device took it to another repairer and ask what was the original fault before a budget in the air.

3.3 SOURCE CIRCUIT AND TEST RESISTIVE LOADS

In Figure 3.3.1 we show the original circuit properly processed to read the values ​​of the components. This circuit is not in the manual. If someone asks tell him step off the page Picerno and helps me to increase visitor traffic.


Fig.3.3.1 main source circuit (Note: RM885 is really 100 mOhms)

This circuit, which called main, is not controlled by the microprocessor, ie when the TV to the mains supply immediately the three output voltages are generated without being affected by the safe rear circuit there is a short circuit is connected or overconsumption on some of the loads.
This particular TV has a mode of operation that can exploit our work perfectly restful. You can disconnect the main source plate.In that case the source starts igniting the back ligth. 
Then you can measure voltages A5V, A13V and + 145V if you need to connect any resistive load because the LEDs are already consuming. This is not so in all LED TV and pull a fly-back source without any resistive load can damage the MOSFET QM803S key.The problem is if the string of LEDs is open and the main is disconnected. At that time the source starts with a minimum load produced by the controlled section of the source and can damage the MOSFET.
Anyway if the source does not have adequate load signal forms and continuing tensions do not have much value. It is therefore desirable to have a load of 1A for both 5V supply to the 13V. This implies a power consumption of 13W (13Vx1A) for A13V source and consumption of 5W (5Vx1A) for A5V source, which puts us safe from all trouble and allows us to accurately measure voltages. 
We recommend then disconnect the main source removing the connector, plug loads of 5 and 12 ohms. With the back ligth connected, connect the power to the network and observe if you turn the screen and if there are 5 and 13V; above and we verify that there are 310 / 155V unregulated source. See Figure 3.3.2.


Fig.3.3.2 Connection platelet repair to remove the source of the main

In a catastrophic failure does not exist any of the three DC voltages and the screen is off. This means that the whole key power and integrated control has a problem. Therefore we will analyze the operation of both.

3.4 KEY POWER MOSFETs

MOSFETs used in power supplies are without any doubt "electronic keys". So they have some characteristic parameters of the keys as being an internal resistance when closed, an ability to withstand voltage when open and current carrying capacity when closed. Leaving excitation conditions then, these features are those that determine the MOSFET to use.
You sure. Will think you do not need to know anything about the operation of the MOSFET, if I have questions, I'll buy one and change. If you. Aims to achieve the exact failure goes straight to spare, because it is not going to be able to find given the enormous number of variants on the market. In general it is best to form a MOSFET stock not force him to run the shop all the time.
Are the characteristics of the MOSFET are achieved by Internet? Yes, they get but do not look for the first letters of the code because those letters depend on the manufacturer. I searched with the search word "MOSFET 12N65" and found it very quickly. This file is attached so that everyone can download it from the page.
File Specifications 3.4.1 MOSFET

In the forelock of the specification, out indicated the most important features are the maximum current, maximum voltage and resistance saturation. It is a synthetically MOSFET 12A x 650V with Rds = 0.85 Ohms (which is the resistance between the drain and source 10V gate voltage).
With these values ​​you can get an N-channel MOSFET (indicated by the symbol on the circuit) for exceeding 12A current and a voltage less than 650V with an internal resistance equal to or less than 0.85 Ohms.
When you see a MOSFET key in a circuit, you. You should think of it as a key that opens and closes supporting the I and V of the specification and that when closed has a contact resistance Rds. But a key must have a cigarette butt opera control. The equivalent in this case is the gate of the MOSFET closes when the key has more than about 2.5V.
That gate has no electrical connection to the body of the key. It is coupled by a metallization which generates an electric field on the body of the MOSFET. In effect this means that the gate operates as a capacitor to ground and as such must be excited. 
A capacitor that value? That depends on the particular transistor we are using. In this case if we look at the table of electrical characteristics is indicated as Ciss (input capacity to source) and is 1480 pF typical. This is the parameter that we needed to find a replacement of a MOSFET. If we find one equal to or less safe serving capacity.

3.5 INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CONTROL

What role does the IC control? Generating a rectangular signal applied to the gate of MOSFET. This rectangular voltage signal is always the order of 12V volts peak and zero at its minimum. As for the frequency can be fixed frequency; a variable frequency in two values ​​depending on the polarization of one leg of the IC or a capacitor that is placed on another leg. 
The important thing is that once chosen frequency, it does not change, in the fly-back circuit (almost all TV LED are) and its value is between 50 KHz for older up to 250 KHz or more, for the newer (in our Samsung is 75 KHz).
The CI must perform one of the most important functions, which is controlling the output DC voltage. This is done with the only variable parameter is missing in the rectangular output and which is the period of activity of the gate signal. If the key is closed a long time, a lot of energy input electrolytic transferred to the secondary and the output voltage rises. If the activity period is short, low energy and low output voltage is transferred.
You should also perform control of the current circulating through the key and if it is too high, must cut operation before damage. 
An extra feature of the IC is to find some way to boot with voltage 155 / 310v and then feed itself from a coil of the pulse transformer itself.
To understand the operation of the CI we will present first your legs diagram (see Figure 3.4.1) and then its "pin up" See Figure 3.5.2 to know what does each leg concisely.

Fig.3.5.2 Pin up in Spanish

To understand the operation is best to perform a circuit of very simple application. The manufacturer gives us a help with a circuit of one output voltage that can be seen in Figure 3.5.3.


Fig.3.5.3 application circuit for a 13V source

In the circuit we observe C106 and C107 that capacitors are not regulated supply system feeding the transformer pin 1. Pin 3 is the upper connection MOSFET Q101 key (drain). Or the lower connection (source) is virtually connected to ground by resistor R106 0.5 ohms shunt placed on it to measure, a rate proportional to the drain current signal. 
The most likely damage a source MOSFET is in its key and especially in this open or shorted the raceway. The custom takes repairers to desolder and measured with the tester in ohmmeter function. It really is not necessary to completely desolder. To cut the leg drainage is sufficient. This is important if it is a SMD where drainage is still below the transistor and is welded to an island dissipation. In the Samsung the problem is very simple because you just have to cut with wire cutters center leg. A measurement with the tester as ohmmeter between the severed leg (red tip) and ground (black tip) should indicate a very high resistance value (more than 1 MOhms). Then take the controlled variable source, set to 3V and connect to the gate (left leg looking from below) red black tip and ground. The resistance indicated by the tester must fall below 10 Ohms. If the MOSFET is damaged it is very likely that it is also the shunt resistor or at least this debased. With the tester and without removal of the wafer can be measured if it is not cut. A measurement value can only be done with a special ohmmeter built according to the instructions of my book "special instruments". 
The gate is connected to the output of integrated by a diode (D103) and resistor (R104) circuit. We explained that the gate of a MOSFET can be considered as a capacitor connected to the source terminal. And that capacitor must be charged and discharged to close and open the key. Now let's add that the key must move from closed to open as quickly as possible so that the key is never in an intermediate state between the opening and closing, because in those moments is when power key is generated and therefore the corresponding heat.
The leg 5 (OUT) toggles between source (13V) and ground. When in power, the equivalent capacitor is charged to 13V gate through resistor R104 to the diode is because in reverse. When this ground the diode D103 discharge the equivalent capacitor. If you open or unsoldering R104 MOSFET remains unexcited and we catastrophic failure. But in this circuit, usually fails diode and the circuit continues to operate, but is not the same download the equivalent capacitor with a diode with a resistor of 150 Ohms; cutting key becomes slow and the key is heated and burned in a few hours.
When the key is closed current begins to flow through the transformer primary. The current can not grow suddenly because the magnetic field generated by the primary produces a signal that opposes the current flow. The current increases with a fixed slope dependent voltage source (155 / 310v) and the inductance of the primary L1-3. When the key opens the primary reacts by generating a voltage peak. For this peak MOSFET not burn to the D101, R103 and C106 components operating as pulse absorbers are added. C106 is charged to a value that depends on their own ability and value of R103 which discharges to the correct value. In a word between C and R are as a variable battery so that the voltage can rise to the specified value and then operates the diode voltage limiting. Needless to say that a network failure pulse limitation drain immediately damages the MOSFET; ie a domino effect.
The current flowing to ground by the key, it does through the resistor R106 0.5 Ohms generating a sawtooth voltage that is representative of the current circulating through the key. That leads to tension leg 3 to cut the operation when it reaches a predetermined value. So we analyze the key corresponding to the power section.
For the excitation CI send key must meet several conditions. The first is that it must be fed by the leg 6. Then explain how to start the system, we now assume that already started and the winding 5-6 generates a voltage that the diode 102 rectifies and sends the source capacitor C109, if the voltage output is correct is charged to 13V more about. 15V diode ZD101 limits the output voltage in the event of a failure of regulation, resulting in a drop in the resistor R109 which the manufacturer indicates as 0 Ohms, but that surely is a mistake and is 10 Ohms.
The leg 8 (Vstr) is the kickstart. When the TV is connected to the network the leg 6 without voltage supplied by the transformer.But by the resistor R114 you get a current leg 8 which internally gives tension momentarily to the leg 6 for the system to boot and then stop drinking.
This system has two weak points. One is that the resistor R114 does not present good characteristics to the voltage pulses if SMD, even if it is not usually common mounting withstand the pulses are applied during a storm. In short it is common to find it open. In this case the circuit is in perfect condition but lacks the start pulse, which is like kick starting a motor bike. In these cases it is best replaced by a series of four resistors 12K 1/8 W. The other is that when the circuit starts no paw consumption and 8 is in the worst case to 310v generating circuit leaks printed if not well designed. For that reason the leg 7 is left unused and directly missing leg. It is common for this track environmental fluff that should be cleaned comes together. The way to test a boot problem is adjusted using a 10V external source but applied to the IC through a 1N4004 diode source with the anode to the source. Thus when the IC starts the diode is reversed and the circuit is self-powered.
Pin 1 (LUVP) takes the low voltage sensing network using the voltage divider R112 and R113. When the voltage of the leg reaches less than 2 volt IC stops generating output. Therefore it is necessary to measure this voltage as the first point of the method. The capacitor C110 operates as a pulse filter that can come from the network.
The leg 2 (Latch / Plimit) is a leg protection that operates in the opposite direction to 1. If the voltage exceeds 4V IQ fails to deliver excitement to the MOSFET key. As we have both a reference to the rectified voltage network and the output voltage of the source. The network is applied directly through R102 form an attenuator with which R108 and OP2 optocoupler output is low resistance. The source output can not be applied directly, because the primary and secondary masses are different. Therefore you should use an optocoupler. The LED output opto through R207 connects to limit current and ZD201 (13V) to generate the reference cutting operation in this case is the zener voltage of more inner barrier LED; approximately 14V.
Paw Paw 3 is a dual use. It serves both cutting operation when the current through the shunt resistor is too high, to receive feedback from the output voltage regulating operation. The separation of the two signals is easy to perform within the IC that one (the current sample, is alternated) and the other, the output feedback is continuous. The output feedback should include a voltage comparator with a stable reference. This reference is known IC201 programmable zener which is a 431 used as a high gain amplifier comparator. The output is coupled through R204 / R205 divider is compared with the internal voltage is programmable zener 2.5V.The resistor R202 serves to properly polarize the programmable zener, while R201 is the current limiter LED operational. C203 and R203 is a network that limits the frequency response of the programmable zener not to oscillate at high frequency.
The programmable Zener operational and tested simultaneously with a variable voltage regulated supply. Only Paw 4 opto have to lift and place the tester in ohmmeter function on legs 3 (black tip) and pin 4 (red tip). adjustable external source on the output is then applied with a low voltage. The ohmmeter should mark a very high value, say above 1 MOhm. Now the tension starts to rise noting that no changes in resistance, up to 13V, when the resistance can drop to less than 1K values. If this does not happen, you must measure all resistors section and if you are good, you have to directly disconnect the opto and place a red LED, where pins 1 and 2. Re were testing but now observing that when arriving at 13V LED lights. If this occurs it is damaged the opto and if not, means that damaged the programmable zener.
Now we have to control the section of the secondary that is very simple to verify, since it only contains a pair of diodes D202 and D204 are fast diodes 100V 20A and pi filter with its electrolytic capacitors C201, C202 and L201 inductor.
If all primary section works must test the secondary section. But we can prove that the primary section works. First you have to perform all the tests mentioned here, to make sure there are no problems in the feedback circuit in the primary crop in the transistor, etc. In a word that being a source a strong feedback circuit repair is complex because a failure in the secondary can affect the primary circuit and lose track of which component failed. So if you. Observe the explanations, all tests were performed without running the entire circuit, but by parties or external sources and it does not desoldamos any component. This is very important not to this particular source is armed with conventional components, but for the newest having only SMD components.
The secondary section is virtually explanation because it is a simple rectifier with filter in pi, where all components can be measured with the tester without unsolder, if we care desoldering the circuit load.
If you performed these tests we can not find the damaged component, we only have to prove that a component is the pulse transformer, also called choper. To test the generator we have been promising for delivering 2 of this course and that we will have in the next article is required.
In Figure 3.5.4 we give a help to locate the MOSFET and opto.


Fig.3.5.4 Help to locate important components

3.6 CONCLUSIONS

This article practically finished explaining the operation of the source section dedicated to the generation of tensions regulated by a source with a single output voltage.

In the next installment we will build our signal generator for testing sources and if we have enough space we will explain the changes introduced by Samsung source with respect to which we explain here.

LCD Panel Basics
LCD panels have steadily evolved over the last several years. New designs of the physical structure of the LCD crystals have greatly improved the contrast ratio and viewing angle. Quicker response times and increased refresh rates have helped to reduce the motion “smear” associated with LCD displays. Backlighting design has also aided in producing a picture with color temperatures to make the images as true as possible. With all these design improvements, one aspect of the LCD panel remains relatively the same: Processing of the video signal.
Figure illustrates a typical LCD panel and the associated video processing circuits as found in the WAX3 chassis. The various formats and resolutions of video signals are processed on the BU1 board. All video signals exit the video processor in the native resolution of the LCD panel. In this design, the resolution is for a 1366 by 768 at 60HZ refresh rate panel. 48 horizontal lines are discarded to match up to the 720p resolution of the ATSC specifications so the video will exit as 720p. The LCD panel used in this model processes 8-bit RGB video data. Before the video information can be sent to the TCON board it must be converted to a format that allows for practical and noise-free transmission. The large number of parallel lines to transmit the 8-bit RGB data would need to be sent on differential lines for noise reduction. This would require 48 lines just for the video. The TCON circuit also requires B+, ground connections, a communications bus, sync, and a clocking line transmitted differentially so we can see that up to 60 lines would be required for an 8-bit video signal and significantly more lines for a 10-bit processor. The practical way to transmit this information is to convert the parallel video data to a serial stream and this is accomplished by the Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) transmitter. The LVDS transmitter contains a circuit to serialize the parallel data. The parallel video information along with sync and clocking data are transmitted via twisted line pairs. Depending on the logic level, current is sent along one or the other of the twisted pair of wires. The receiving end of the wires is loaded with a resistor (usually around 100 to 120 ohms). The receiver detects the polarity of the voltage drop across the resistor to determine the logic level. The current level swings in the wire are about 3ma with a voltage differential of around 350mv. This allows for transmission of the video signal with minimal EMI.
The LVDS receiver on the TCON board converts the serialized data back to parallel. This data is processed by the timing control IC to allocate the RGB data into serial streams for processing by the LCD panel. The TCON transmits the pixel control data to the panel via flat, flexible circuit board cables which can number 2 or 4 depending on the bit rate and refresh timing of the panel. A 1366 X 768 panel requires about 180 lines to transmit control information and B+ from the TCON. This number of control lines is not even close to the number of horizontal or vertical rows of pixels so the LCD panel must use this information to further expand the ability to turn on each individual crystal. The process will be explained in the gate and source driver paragraphs. All of this is accomplished by the TCON board. The term “TCON” is short for Timing Control. Other LCD panel manufacturers may have a different name for this particular circuit but the term used by Sony will always be TCON


Gate Drivers
Referring to , note the IC’s located along the side of the panel. These IC’s are mounted on a flexible cable(s) which are bonded to the LCD panel. Their function is to activate each row of pixels one at a time starting with the first line at the top. As each line is activated, the source drivers turn on the appropriate liquid crystals for the frame of video about to be displayed. This continues from top to bottom until the entire frame of video is displayed. The process is repeated for the next frame. This rate can vary from 60 times per second or be increased to 120 or 240 as found in the high-frame-rate panels.
Source Drivers
These IC’s provide the control voltages to turn on each RGB segment of the vertical rows of pixels. In this example, the panel has a horizontal resolution of 1366 pixels. Each pixel is made up of a red, green and blue liquid crystal which means there are 4,098 columns to control. The source drive IC’s contain shift registers along with buffer switches. Shift registers are used to convert serial data to parallel. By using this method, the TCON is able to transmit control information to each of the source drivers using serial data lines. If the TCON is transmitting 8-bit data to the panel, each data line is capable of controlling 256 lines exiting the source drivers. Understanding how the gate and source drivers work together makes it easier to observe a problem on the screen and determine if the failure is panel or TCON related.
Diagnosing a Failed TCON
In order for this concept to move forward successfully, it is important that the service industry be able to properly identify the symptoms of TCON issues to avoid unnecessary service calls and repair costs. Accurate analysis of TCON failures will reduce costs significantly (both in parts costs and time) when warranty repairs are involved and will reduce the number of COD repairs that are lost.
A good approach when determining a TCON failure is a good understanding of which symptoms ARE NOT caused by the TCON. Examples are as follows:
Video Process Failures: All video inputs received by the video process circuits are handled on a frame-by-frame basis. The video frames are converted and scaled to 8 or 10-bit RGB information. It is virtually impossible for the video process circuits to cause a problem on a specific area of the screen. Failures on this board usually appear as distortions, color level shifts, video level shifts, noise that involves the entire picture, or no picture at all. The TCON can generate symptoms that appear to be video process related but the video process circuits cannot produce the symptoms of a failed TCON circuit.
LVDS Cable Failures: Although problems with the LVDS cable or connectors can generate symptoms of TCON failures this usually tends to be intermittent and wiggling of the connectors will usually provoke a change in the symptom on the screen. LVDS cables and connectors have become rather robust over the past few years and most problems are caused by technicians who damage them and this is generally quite obvious upon close examination.
LCD Panel Failures: Some LCD panel failures could possibly be mistaken for TCON issues. Other than damage to the LCD glass, most panel failures are isolated to a particular area of the screen. Since the TCON disperses the pixel data to groups of line and column drive IC’s situated on the outer edges of the panel, it is unlikely that more than one of these IC’s would fail at the same time. Multiple columns of stuck on or stuck off pixels are, therefore, more likely to be the fault of the TCON circuits. The same applies to a single row of lit or unlit pixels. The TCON simply cannot cut out a single line of information. Figure 4-6 illustrates some typical symptoms of failures that are caused by the LCD panel.

Failures involving the LCD panel are usually displayed with the following symptoms:
# Physical damage such as cracks in the panel, a single pixel or group of pixels that always on or off, or random sections of the panel which are completely dark.
# Source driver failure. This symptom appears as a single vertical band around 1 to 2 inches (depending on the panel size) and can be black, white, or any other color. It can also contain video information with distortion. A single vertical line that is dark or colored. This may be due to a tab bonding failure from the IC to the panel but either cause requires the replacement of the panel.
# Gate driver failure. These IC’s operate in a “bucket brigade” fashion. As mentioned earlier, the gates drivers scan each horizontal line starting at the top. If any one of the gate drivers fails, all of the subsequent drivers below it will fail to operate properly. This symptom is usually indicated by normal video on the upper portion of the screen followed by distorted video from the point of the failed IC and downward.
# Any horizontal lines. The gate drivers are activated by a single source of timing information so any single horizontal line or groups or random horizontal lines are caused by an output failure from a gate driver or a loss of the tab bond to the panel.
TCON Failures
Failures in the timing control circuits of the TCON can produce symptoms of absolutely no video or generate lines and patterns that usually cover all or a substantial part of the screen. Determining if the TCON is the cause of a “no video” condition is a bit more difficult since there are no indications on the screen to analyze.
Troubleshooting a “DEAD” TCON
Many of the Sony television models over the last few years will detect a TCON that has completely failed. The communications data between the video process circuits and the TCON will cease to communicate if the TCON fails completely. This will cause the television to shut down and display a diagnostics code indicating a failure of the TCON. Not all chassis designs have this feature and it is not found on older models. The typical scenario when this failure arises is for the technician to bring a video process board to the repair location. It is usually safe to assume that the problem lies on the TCON board if the replacement video board does not remedy the problem since it is highly unlikely that a replacement board with the same failure was received. One trick to check most TCONS for functionality is to loosen the LVDS connector at the TCON (as shown In Figure while the unit is turned on. Handle the LVDS connector with care and be certain to fully release
the lock tabs. Gently rock the cable in and out of the connector while observing the screen for any response. Depending on the chassis, the symptoms of the screen may be gentle white flashes, intermittent colored
lines, or a screen full of random patterns. The idea at this point is to provoke some kind of response on the screen. TCON boards that have failed will not usually generate any type of response on the screen. Another helpful procedure is to rapidly heat and/or cool the TCON with hot air devices or circuit coolant and watch for patterns to appear on the screen.
Figure illustrates 2 examples of a loss of control data to the drive IC’s. In the first example, an entire group of column drivers has lost the data stream for red. The second example involves the complete loss of drive data for all RGB information to the right side of the screen. This is sometimes caused by the flat cable connecting the TCON to the LCD panel coming loose. The area of missing video can be dark or completely white depending on the panel design.
Service Tip: Select an inactive input (or one that is known to be a 4:3 SD source) and toggle between the “normal” and “zoom” modes. If the lines follow the zoom changes, the problem is located on the video process board. If they stay in the same place, they are originating in the TCON or LCD panel.
