Today’s sophisticated electronics are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. ESD can weaken or damage the electronics in a manner that renders them inoperative or reduces the time until their next failure. Connect an ESD wrist strap to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the product. Alternatively, you can touch your finger repeatedly to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the product. Before removing a replacement part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the product. Handle the electronic control assembly by its edges only. When repackaging a failed electronic control assembly in an anti-static bag, observe these same precautions.

Safety & Handling Regulations

1. Check the appearance of the Replacement Panel and Circuit Boards for both physical damage and part number accuracy.

2. Check the model label. Verify model names and board model matches.

3. Check details of defective condition and history. Example: Y Board Failure, Mal-discharge on screen, etc.

1. Approximately 10 minute pre-run time is required before any adjustments are performed.

2. Refer to the Voltage Sticker inside the Panel when making adjustments on the Power Supply, Y-SUS and Z-SUS Boards.

3. Always adjust to the specified voltage level (+/- ½ volt) unless otherwise specified.

4. Be cautious of electric shock from the PDP module since the PDP module uses high voltage, check that the Power Supplyand Drive Circuits are completely discharged because of residual current stored before Circuit Board removal.

4. C-MOS circuits are used extensively for processing the Drive Signals and should be protected from static electricity.

5. The PDP Module must be carried by two people. Always carry vertical NOT horizontal.

6. The Plasma television should be transported vertically NOT horizontally.

7. Exercise care when making voltage and waveform checks to prevent costly short circuits from damaging the unit.

8. Be cautious of lost screws and other metal objects to prevent a possible short in the circuitry.

9. New Panels and Frames are much thinner than previous models. Be Careful with flexing these panels. Be careful with lifting Panels from a horizontal position. Damage to the Frame mounts or panel can occur.

10. New Plasma models have much thinner cabinet assemblies and mounts. Be extremely careful when moving the set around as damage can occur.

Basic Troubleshooting StepsBasic Troubleshooting Steps

Define, Localize, Isolate and Correct

• Define Look at the symptom carefully and determine what circuits could be causing the failure. Use your senses Sight, Smell, Touch and Hearing. Look for burned parts and check for possible overheated components. Capacitors will sometimes leak dielectric material and give off a distinct odor. Frequency of power supplies will change with the load, or listen for relay closing etc. Observation of the front Power LEDs may give some clues.

• Localize After carefully checking the symptom and determining the circuits to be checked and after giving a thorough examination using your senses the first check should always be the DC Supply Voltages to those circuits under test. Always confirm the supplies are not only the proper level but be sure they are noise free. If the supplies are missing check the resistance for possible short circuits.

• Isolate To further isolate the failure, check for the proper waveforms with the Oscilloscope to make a final determination of the failure. Look for correct Amplitude Phasing and Timing of the signals also check for the proper Duty Cycle of the signals. Sometimes “glitches” or “road bumps” will be an indication of an imminent failure.

• Correct The final step is to correct the problem. Be careful of ESD and make sure to check the DC Supplies for proper levels. Make all necessary adjustments and lastly always perform a Safety AC Leakage Test before returning the product back to the Customer.

Power Supply Basic OperationPower Supply Basic OperationAC Voltage is supplied to the SMPS Board at Connector SC101 from the AC Input assembly. Standby 5V is developed from 160V source supply (which during run measures 380V measured from the primary fuse F302). This supply is also used to generate all other voltages on the SMPS.

The STBY5V (standby) is B+ for the Controller (IC701) on the SMPS and output at P813 pins 11 and 23 then sent to the Main board for Microprocessor (IC1) operation. AC Detect is generated on the SMPS, by rectifying a small sample of the A/C Line at D102 and associated circuitry and routed to the Controller (IC701) where it outputs at pin 15 and sent to P813 pin 18 to the Main Board where it is sensed and monitored by the Main Microprocessor (IC1). The AC Det in this set works differently than most. If AC Det is missing the Microprocessor will turn off the television in about 10 seconds after turn on.This will happen each time turn on is attempted.A new feature included on the side keypad is called a Main Power Switch which opens a ground allowing the “Key On” line of P813 Pin 24 to go high, turning off the 5V STB line defeating the Micro Processor (IC1) on the Main Board and Remote Control Operation. When the Microprocessor (IC1) on the Main Board receives an “ON“ Command from either the Power button or the Remote IR Signal, it outputs a high called RL ON at Pin 19 of P813. This command causes the RelaY-Drive Circuit to close both Relays RL102 and RL103 bringing the PFC source up to full power by increasing the 160V standby to 380V run which can be read measuring voltage at Fuse F302 and F801 from “Hot” Ground. At this time the run voltages 12V, and +5V sources become active and are sent to the Main Board via P813 (12V at pins 5 and 6 and 5V at pins 9,10, and 12). The 5V detect line from the SMPS Board to the Main Board can be measured at pin 17 of P813. It is not used.The next step is for the Microprocessor (IC1) on the Main Board to output a high on M5V ON Line to the SMPS at P813 Pin 21 which is sensed by the Controller (IC701) turning on the M5V line and output at P811 pins 9 and 10 to the Y-SUS board P201 pins 9, 10. Then it is routed to the Control and Z-SUS boards. Full Power occurs when the Microprocessor (IC1) on the Main Board brings the VS-ON line high at Pin 20 of P813 of the SMPS Board. VS-ON is routed to the Controller (IC701) which turns on the 17V Audio, VA, and the VS supplies. VA and VS output at P811 to the Y-SUS board. (VA pins 6 and 7 and VS pins 1 and 2). The 17V Audio supply outputs to the Main board at P814 pins 1 and 2 and used for Audio processing and amplification.AUTO GND Pin 22 of P813: This pin is grounded on the Main board. When it is grounded, the Controller IC701 works in the normal mode, meaning it turns on the power supply via commands sent from the Main board. When this pin is floated (opened), it pulls up and turns the Controller IC701 on in the Auto mode. In this state, the Controller turns on the power supply in stages automatically. A load is necessary to perform a good test of the SMPS if the Main board is suspect.

or

8or4 or

Using two 100 Watt light bulbs, attach one end to Vs and the other end to ground. Apply AC to SC101. If the light bulbs turn on and VS is the correct voltage, allow the SMPS to run for several minutes to be sure it will operate under load. If this test is successful and all other voltages are generated, you can be fairly assured the power supply is OK. Note: To be 100% sure, you would need to read the current handling capabilities of each power supply listed on the silk screen on the SMPS and place each supply voltage under the appropriate load.

Note: This SMPS will run without a load, however if the Vs is not loaded, the 17V may pulsate up and down. It is always best to test the SMPS under a load using the 2 light bulbs.

Check Pins 11 or 23 for 5V SBY

Check Pin 18 for AC Det (5V)

If AC Det is missing, the TV will come on then shut off within 10 Sec.This will happen each time the TV is turned on.

Provided the Power Button is closed, any time AC is applied to the SMPS, STBY 5V and AC DET should be present.

Y-Drive Boards work as a path supplying the Sustain and Reset waveforms which are made in the Y-Sustain board and sent to the Panel through Scan Driver IC’s.

The Y-Drive Boards supply a waveform which selects the horizontal electrodes sequentially starting at the top and scanning down the panel.

* 50PQ30 uses 8 Driver ICs on 2 Y-Drive Boards

Warning: To facilitate scope attachment, solder a small wire (Stand Off) at this point.Be very careful, these are fragile and can peal off with excessive heat or stress.

The Ribbon Cable is clearly improperly seated into the connector. You can tell by observing the line of the connector compared to the FPC, they should be parallel.

The Locking Tab will offer a greater resistance to closing in the case.

Note the cable is crooked. In this case the Tab on the Ribbon cable was improperly seated at the top. This can cause bars, lines, intermittent lines abnormalities in the picture.

* If the complaint is no video and if shorting the two points (AutoGen) causes video to appear suspect the Main board or LVDS cable.

With the unit on, if D201 does not blink on/off, check 5V supply. If present replace the Control PCB

Unplug all connectors. Jump 5V from SMPS (P813 pins 9~12) to pin 1 of IC211. Observe LED. If it blinks, most likely Control PWB is OK. FL111 and FL112 should be checked.

Disconnect P201 from the Y SUS Board and connect a Jumper from Pin 10 of P812 (M5V) to Pin 10 P201 (5V). The 5V will be routed to the Control Board via FS201, Ribbon Cable P101 on the Y SUS Board to P111 on the Control board. Then through FL111 and FL112 to all regulators on the Control Board. For Control Board operation verification, watch D201 for blinking.

Control Board Additional Troubleshooting TipsControl Board Additional Troubleshooting Tips

For quick Control board test. (All connectors Disconnected).

Jump 5V from PowerSupply to IC201 Pin 3.(Bottom Pin)If the LED blinks,Pretty muchguaranteed,Control Board is OK.

Quick observationOf LED blinkingTell if the ControlBoard is running.

When the Television has a problem related to;1) Shutdown caused by Main Board.2) No Video (No Picture) Sound OK.This can be checked by the following. (1) Disconnect the Main board from all connectors. Apply AC power. Since P813 is not connected to the SMPS, the set will come on. Short the two pins on the Auto Test Pattern lands. If there is a picture of cycling colors and patters, the Y-SUS, Y-Drive, Z-SUS, Power Supply, Control board,X-Boards, TCPs and Panel are all OK. Use the same test for problem (2) above to tell if the No Video is caused by the Main board or failed LVDS cable.

Confirm B+ to Control the Control BoardVS_DA3V ~ 3.3V(Note, this TP can also beUsed as an External TriggerFor scope when locking onto the Y-Drive signal).

Their presence can be confirmed with the Oscilloscope by monitoring the LVDS signals with no input signal selected while pressing the Menu Button “on” and “off” with the Remote Control or Keypad. Loss of these Signals would confirm the failure is on the Main Board!

50PQ30 SERVICE TIP SECTION50PQ30 SERVICE TIP SECTION

Floating Ground checks must be made from Floating Ground. Use any pin on P204, P203, P205 or P208.

TIP:SYMPTOM: The panel indicates a brief flash during start up, then “No Picture” symptom.

CHECKS: 1. Z-SUS does not produce a correct signal. (All voltages check normal except 17V).2. Y-SUS does not produce a correct signal. (No negative portion).3. On Y-SUS: 17V starts off at 17V then very quickly drops to 5V.4. Floating Ground 5V and 15V are not produced. (See pages 60~61 for more details).5. Removing all connectors on the Z-SUS board (Except the panel connectors) does

not change test results.6. Removing Y-Drive boards cause all voltages to return to normal.

Including the Y-Drive signal checked on the right side of C213.7. Reconnecting all connectors on the Z-SUS board shows it is not creating a

correct waveform. Just spikes. (17V now stays up).8. Using the Diode Checks for the Y-Drive boards do not indicate a problem.

(See pages 67, 70, 71 and 74 for more details).

FIX:Replacing the Z-SUS board fixed the problems.

No Remote Function Service Tip:No Remote Function Service Tip:

TIP:SYMPTOM:

When the set turns on and a picture appears, the bottom of the picture shows the Input selection screen.

The Remote did not work.

The Front Function Keys did not work. (Except the Main Power Switch).

CHECKS: 1. Main Board: Reading the Key 1 and Key 2 lines found that Key 2 was at 0.8V.

Key 1 read normal at 3.3V. (See page 124 for more details).2. Feeling the Function buttons found that the right hand button (as viewed from the

rear) did not feel the same as the others. It was stuck.

FIX:1. Removing and repositioning the button assembly freed up the button. The set

return to normal function. (See page 116 for more details).

133 November 2009 50PQ30 Plasma

Checking the YChecking the Y--Drive Upper or Lower Board Tip:Drive Upper or Lower Board Tip:

TIP:SYMPTOM:

Set shuts down at turn on.

CHECKS: (See pages 67, 70, 71 and 74 for more details).1. V-Scan signal input to Lower Y-Drive board low ohms or low volts (Diode Mode).2. Output from any buffer shows low ohms or low volts (Diode Mode).

FIX: Found Defective Y-Drive Upper or Lower (See the Y-Drive section for checks)

1. After determining which Y-Drive board is defective using the checks shown in the Y-Drive section, the other board can be tested separately.

• If the Upper Y-Drive is found defective, the Lower Y-Drive board can be tested. Remove the Upper Y-Drive. Disconnect the Connector P209. Turn on the set and confirm that the bottom half of the picture looks normal.

• If the Lower Y-Drive is found defective, the Upper Y-Drive board can be tested. Remove the Lower Y-Drive. Disconnect the Connector P209.

• Jump either Pin 1 or 2 of P207 (V-Scan from the Y-SUS) to pin 4 or 5 of connector P108 on the Upper Y-Drive board.

• Turn on the set and confirm that the top half of the picture looks normal.

½½ of the Picture is missing Top or Bottom Tip:of the Picture is missing Top or Bottom Tip:

TIP:SYMPTOM: When the set turns on, either the Top or Bottom ½ of the picture is black. It is

possible that the whole picture could be black if P207 or P207(Y-SUS) is involved.

CHECKS: 1. Look careful the connections between the Y-SUS and Upper and Lower Y-Drive

boards. It is very possible that the can be improperly seated.

FIX:1. Remove and reseat the board correctly. 2. Note: This can happen if either the Y-SUS or Y-Drive boards are replaced or

pulled off to perform checks.

Improperly Seated Connector

Note the pins are visible across the top inside of the

connector.

Properly Seated Connector

Note now the pins are not visible across the

top inside of the connector.

To Test Control board: Unplug all connectors. Jump 5V from SMPS (P813 pin 23) to pin 1 of IC211. Observe LED. If it blinks, most likely Control PWB is OK. FL111 and FL112 should be checked. To check M5V route, disconnect P201 from the Y-SUS Board and connect a Jumper from Pin 1 of P811 (M5V) to Pin 10 P201 (5V).

The 5V is then routed to the Control Board via FS201, Ribbon Cable P101 on the Y-SUS to P111 and FL111 and FL112 on the Control Board for Control Board operation verification. Watch D201 for blinking to confirm.
