ESD Notice

(Electrostatic Static Discharge)

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.

Regulatory Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate
the receiving antenna; Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver; Connect the
equipment to an outlet on a different circuit than that to which the receiver is connected; or consult the
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Safety and Handling, Checking Points
Safety & Handling Regulations
1.

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

2.

Refer to the Voltage Sticker on 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 Supply
and Drive Circuits are completely discharged because of residual current stored before Circuit Board removal.

5.

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

6.

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

7.

The Plasma television should be transported vertically NOT horizontally.

8.

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

9.

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

10. New Plasma Models have thinner Display Panels and Frames than previous models. Be careful when lifting
Plasma Display’s because flexing the panel may damage the frame mounts or panel.

Checking Points to be Considered
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-SUS or Y-Drive Board Failure, Mal-discharge on screen, etc.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Define, Localize, Isolate and Correct
Look at the symptom carefully and determine what circuits could be causing the
• Define
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 Operation

AC Voltage is supplied to the SMPS Board at Connector SC101 from the AC Input assembly, routed to the two Bridge
Rectifiers D101 and D102 which then route the primary voltage to the PFC circuit (Power Factor Controller). Standby 5V is
developed from 158V source supply (which during run measures 390V 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 chip on the back of the board (IC701) on the SMPS and output at P813 pins
13 and 14 then sent to the Main board for Microprocessor (IC701) operation (STBY 3.49V RUN 5.15V).
When the Microprocessor (IC701) on the Main Board receives a “POWER ON“ Command from either the Power button
or the Remote IR Signal, it outputs a high (3.26V) called RL_ON at Pin 15 of P813. This command causes the Relay Circuit
to close both Relays RL101 and RL103 bringing the PFC circuit up to full power by increasing the 170V standby to 390V run
which can be read measuring voltage at Fuse F302 and F801 (390V) from “Hot” Ground. AC Detection (AC Det) is
generated on the SMPS, by rectifying a small sample of the A/C Line and routed to the Controller (IC701) where it outputs
at P813 pin 16 (4.07V) and sent to P400 to the Main Board where it is sensed and monitored by the Main Microprocessor
(IC701). If AC Det is missing the set will not come on, the relays will click when RL_ON arrives, but then no other functions
from that point.
When RL_ON arrives, the run voltage +5V source becomes active and is sent to the Main Board via P813 (+5V at pin
5, 6 and 7). The (Error Det) from the SMPS Board to the Main Board can be measured at pin 8 of P813 (3.47V STBY and
4.11V RUN), but it is not used. The RL-ON command also turns on the 17V (Audio B+) which is also sent to the Main
Board. The 17V (16.9V) Audio supply outputs to the Main board at P813 pins 1 and 2 and used for Audio processing and
amplification as well as Tuner B+ once its stepped down to TU-5V.
The next step is for the Microprocessor IC701 on the Main Board to output a high (3.28V) on M_ON Line to the SMPS at
P813 Pin 17 which is sensed by the Controller IC701, turning on the M5V line and outputs at P812 pins 1 and 2 to the
Y-SUS board.

The Controller (IC701) also uses the M_ON line to turn on the VA and the VS supplies. (Note there is no VS On Command
in this set). VS is output at P811 to the Z-SUS board and VS and Va are output on P812 to the Y-SUS board P113.
(VA pins 4 and 5 and VS pins 9 and 10). Note: The Va is fused on the Y-SUS then routed out P114 to the X-Board Left.
AUTO GND Pin 18 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 AUTO GND is
floated (opened), it pulls up and places the Controller (IC701) into 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.

Turn On Sequence Text
The text below is related to the previous page.
STBY 5V (Stepped down to 3.3V_ST by IC400) powers on the Microprocessor IC701 on the Main board. This also starts
the 10Mhz Oscillator (X700) however, the Microprocessor is not functional until after it is Reset. The Reset circuit (IC701)
is energized when 3.3V_ST arrives.
AC Det is 0V when the set is in Stand-By, but rises to 4.07V when the set turns on by the Relay-On Command. AC Det is
routed to the Microprocessor. If AC Det is missing, the TV will not turn on. The Relays will engage, but after that, no
other functions.
At power on the 1st output from the Microprocessor is, the Relay On command called (RL-ON) which turns on
the following SMPS supplies: +5V for Video Processing 17V for Audio Amplification and Tuner B+.
On the Main board, 17V is stepped down to 7V (IC404) then 5V (5V_TU by IC405). The 17V is also sent to the Audio Amp
(IC300). The SMPS (+5V) creates a signal called (ERROR DET) and is sent to the Main Board. ERROR DET is Not used by
the Main board.
The 2nd output from the Microprocessor is the (M_ON) command which turns on (3) supplies:
(1) M5V (Monitor 5V): For the Control Board, Y-SUS Board and Z-SUS Board. (The M5V is routed through the Y-SUS
to the Control Board then to the Z-SUS).
(2) Va: (Voltage for Address) For amplification voltage for the TCPs driving the vertical electrodes. (Voltage routed
through the Y-SUS then to the X-Drive boards.
(3) Vs: Voltage for Sustain sent to the Y-SUS and to the Z-SUS) used for amplification voltage driving the horizontal
electrodes.
On the Y-SUS, when M5V arrives, it develops 3 voltages: FG15V, FG5V (FG=Floating Ground) and 18V.
The 18V is routed through the Control board to the Z-SUS. The FG5V is routed to the Y-Drive boards for the low voltage
processing voltage. When Vs arrives on the Y-SUS, it develops 2 additional voltages; -Vy and VSC which are adjustable.
When the M5V from the SMPS through the Y-SUS arrives on the Control board, the control develops 3.3V and 1.8V for
internal use and 3.3V which is routed down to the each X-Board for each TCP’s low voltage processing voltage.

Power Supply Static Test with Light Bulb Load
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.

Power Supply Static Test (Forcing on the SMPS in stages)
WARNING: Remove AC when adding or removing any jumper, plug or resistor.
TEST CONDITIONS:
Connectors going to the Y-SUS P812 and Z-SUS P811 are disconnected.
P400 on the Main board disconnected (coming in on P813).
Use the holes on the connector P400 (Main Board side) to insert the resistors and jumper lead.
Connect (2) 100 Watt light bulbs in series between VS and Ground.
When the supply is operational in its normal state the Auto Ground line at Pin
18 of P813 is held at ground by the Main Board.
This Power Supply can be powered on sequentially to test the Controller
Chip IC701 operational capabilities and for troubleshooting purposes.
By disconnecting P400, pin 18 is opened. To return the SMPS to the normal
state for this test procedure, this pin must be grounded.
(See first step A below).
Note: Leave previous installed 100Ω resistor in place
when adding the next resistor.

(A) Ground the Auto Gnd Line (Pin 18) will allow the supply to be
powered up one section at a time.
(B) Add a 100Ω ¼ watt resistor from 5V Standby to RL_ON and the 17V
and 5V Run Lines on P813 will become active. Also AC-Det (4.06V)
and Error_Det (4.1V) become active.
(C) Add a 100Ω ¼ watt resistor from any 5V line to M_ON to make the
(Monitor) M5V, VS and VA lines operational.

Y-DRIVE BOARD SECTION (Y-Drive Explained)
Y-DRIVE UPPER
(TOP)
Y-DRIVE LOWER
(BOTTOM)

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 receive a waveform
(Y-Drive) developed on the Y-SUS
board then selects the horizontal
electrodes sequentially starting at the
top and scanning down the panel.
Scanning is synchronized by receiving
Logic scan signals from the Control
board.
The 50PK950 uses 12 Driver ICs on
2 Y-Drive Boards commonly called
“Y-Drive Buffers” but are actually Gate
Arrays.

Removing (Panel) Flexible Ribbon Cables from Y-Drive Upper or Lower
Flexible Ribbon Cables shown are from a different model, but process is the same.
To remove the Ribbon Cable from the connector first carefully lift the Locking Tab from
the back and tilt it forward ( lift from under the tab as shown in Fig 1).
The locking tab must be standing straight up as shown in Fig 2.
Lift up the entire Ribbon Cable gently to release the Tabs on each end. (See Fig 3)
Gently slide the Ribbon Cable free from the connector.
Be sure ribbon tab is released
By lifting the ribbon up slightly,
before removing ribbon.

Gently Pry

To reinstall the Ribbon Cable, carefully slide it back into the slot see ( Fig 3 ), be sure the Tab is seated
securely and press the Locking Tab back to the locked position see ( Fig 2 then Fig 1).

Incorrectly Seated Y-Drive Flexible Ribbon Cables
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 because
the Tab on the Ribbon cable was improperly
seated at the top. This can cause bars, lines,
intermittent lines abnormalities in the picture.
Remove the ribbon cable and re-seat it correctly.

Z-SUS How to Check Stand-Alone
The Power Supply should be producing VS or you can substitute voltage matching VS from an external
source to either pin 1 or 2 P102 on the Z-SUS board.
The Power Supply should be producing M5V or you can substitute voltage matching M5V from an
external source to either FL1, FL2 or FL5 on the Control board.
1) Disconnect
P812

Tip: If the DC to DC converters are running on the Y-SUS, you can
jump any 5V to the Y-SUS M5V input pin, leave P1 connected and there
will be no need to jump the 17V to the Control for the Z-SUS board or
M5V to the Control board.
5) Turn on the set and check
for 221V p/p waveform on
Z-SUS Board

3) Jump M5V to
FL1 or FL2 on
Control Board

2) Disconnect P1

4) Jump 17V to
pin 1 or 2 on P2
on Control Board

The Power Supply should be producing 17V or you can substitute voltage matching 17V from an
external source to either pins 1 or 2 on connector P2 on the Control board.

Press two outside tabs inward to release.

Video Signals from the Main Board to the Control Board are referred
to as Low Voltage Differential Signals or LVDS. The video is
delivered in 24 bit LVDS format. Their presence can be confirmed
with the Oscilloscope by monitoring the LVDS signals with SMPTE
Color Bar input. Loss of these Signals would confirm the failure is on
the Main Board or the LVDS Cable itself.

Control Board (EMI Filter) Explained
The two EMI Filters just to the top right of P1 and one just to the top left of P2 are surface
mount mini devices which shunt high frequencies to ground. These high frequencies are
generated on the SMPS, Y-SUS and Control Board.
Each EMI filter has 4 pins as shown in the example.
The left and right are the B+ route, the two side solder points are Chassis Gnd.

X BOARD (LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER) SECTION
The following section gives detailed information about the X boards.
These boards deliver the Color information signal developed on the
Control board to the TCPs, (Taped Carrier Packages). The TCPs are
attached to the vertical FPCs, (Flexible Printed Circuits) which are
attached directly to the panel. The X boards are the attachment
points for these FPCs.
These boards have no adjustment.
These boards receive their main B+ from the:
• Originally developed on the Switch Mode Power Supply
Va (Voltage for Address) is routed through the Y-SUS board
and then to the Left X board via P121 pins 1~4. Va also
leaves P120 and is sent to the Center X via P220 pins 1~2.
Then it leaves on P221 and goes to the Right X P320 pins 1~2.
• Control board develops 3.3V (IC53) and routes to each XBoard via ribbon connectors P110, P210 and P310.

X Board Additional Information
There are three X boards, the Left, Center and the Right
(As viewed from the rear of the set).
The three X boards have very little circuitry. They are basically signal and
voltage routing boards.
• They route Va voltage to all of the Taped Carrier Packages (TCPs).
Va is introduced to the Left X board first, then the Left X sends
Va to the Center X and then the Center X sends Va to the Right X.
• They route the Logic (Color) signals from the Control board
to all of the Taped Carrier Packages (TCPs).
• The X boards have connectors to 23 TCPs, 8 on the left and right. The
Center X board has connections to 7 TCPs.
There are a total of 23 TCPs and each TCP has 2 buffers, so there are a total
of 46 buffers feeding the panel’s 5760 vertical electrodes.

TCP Visual Observation. Damaged TCP
Warning: DO NOT attempt to run the set with the Heat Sink over the TCPs removed.
After a very short time, these ICs will begin to self destruct due to overheating.
This damaged TCP can, (at the location of the TCP).
a) Cause the Power Supply to shutdown. (VA shorted, 3.3V shorted).
b) Generate abnormal vertical bars, (colored noise).
c) Cause the entire area driven by the TCP to be “All White” or “ALL BLACK”.
d) Cause a “Single Pixel Width Line” defect. The line can be Red, Green or Blue.
e) A dirty contact at the connector can cause b, c and d also.

MAIN BOARD SECTION
The following section gives detailed information about the Main board. This board contains the
Microprocessor, Audio section, video section and all input, outputs. It also receives all input
signals and processes them to be delivered to the Control board via the LVDS cable.
The (VSB, 8VSB and QAM) tuner is located on the main board. This board is also where the
television’s software upgrades are accomplished through the USB input.
The Main board also has a LAN (CAT5) input to allow open Internet access. In addition, the Main
board has an output to the Wireless Media box (Dongle) for control and either one of the USB ports
can accept the Dongle wireless receiver.
This board has no mechanical adjustments.
The Main Board Receives its operational voltage from the SMPS:
DURING STAND-BY: From SMPS
• STBY 5V
DURING RUN From SMPS : (STBY 5V remains):
• +5V for Video processing
• 17V for Audio and Tuner B+ (Stepped down to 5V)






Distributes Key 1 and Key 2 to the Front IR Board then to the Front Key Pad.
Receives Intelligent Sensor data from the Front IR Board (via SCL/SDA).
Drives front Power LEDs.
Distributes +3.3V_ST to the Front IR Board.

FRONT IR, POWER LED and MOTION REMOTE RECEIVER SECTION
The following section gives detailed information about the Front IR and
Motion Remote Sensor. The IR board contains the Infrared Receiver,
Intelligent Sensor and Power LEDs section. The Motion Remote Receiver
receives signals from the Motion Remote to manipulate the pointer.
The Power LED Driver and Intelligent Sensor IC communicate with the Main
Board Microprocessor (IC701) via Clock and Data lines.
These boards have no adjustments.
The Front Control Board (IR and Intelligent Sensor) receives its operational
B+ from the Main Board:
• 3.3V_ST from the Main Board. This voltage is generated on the
Main Board (IC400)
• 3.3V_MULTI generated on the Main Board (IC402).
The Front Power LEDs are driven by 2 separate pins from the Main board
SCL/SDA pins 7 and 8.
The IR signal is routed back to the Main Board via pin 1.
Also, the Motion Remote routes it’s output signal back to the Main Board
P1001 pin 4.

MOTION REMOTE SECTION
The first time the Motion Remote has it’s batteries installed and pointed
at the Television, the Motion Remote is synchronized with the TV.
After that, when pointing the remote at the TV and pressing the
Enter key, a pointer appears on screen, then by moving the Motion
Remote around, the pointer moves with the movement of the
remote. When the pointer is placed over a selectable button, you
can press the center “Enter” button and active the object. This
makes navigation much easier.
You can also adjust the volume, change channels and mute the audio
with the Motion Remote.
A convenient wrist band can be attached to the remote to avoid
dropping and damaging the remote.
The Motion Remote utilizes a specialized receiver to receive the IR
signal and this information is then routed to P1001 and on to the
IC1001 where the signal is then routed to the BCM IC for pointer
positioning and interpretation of the other functions.

SOFT TOUCH KEY PAD SECTION (Board Layout and Identification)
The Soft Touch Key Pad is a thin “Static” sensitive pad that is adhered to the front protective shield.
The Soft Touch Key Pad requires a static sensitive key press decoder IC to change the key press
data into R2 Ladder (Resistive data) which the Microprocessor can understand. This IC is on the
Front IR board IC100 which receives key press data from P101. The output from this IC simply
selects the appropriate resistor to inject into the Key 1 or Key 2 line which is then interpreted by the
Microprocessor in the Main board IC701.
