Voltages for VS: Supplies support to the Y-Amplifier for
horizontal grid voltage. If the required voltage is not + or
3% you may see the following in the picture: lines from side
to side or left to right, half picture top or bottom, intermittent
shutdown or dead.
Voltages for VA: Supplies support to the Z-Amplifier for
vertical grid voltage. If the required voltage is not + or 3%
you may see the following in the picture: Comets, washout,
bleeding, intermittent shutdown or dead.
To start to understand plasma one must look for why this
voltage is not within specifications. In LG Zenith line of
plasmas there are several power supply set-ups as follows:
60 plasma is made-up of a primary and secondary power
supply followed by a DC to DC converter. This is to support
the massive current thats required to sustain picture
quality.
The 50 and 42 plasma power supplies are consolidated
into one board. In the 60 anyone of the three parts could
be out of adjustment. In the fifty and forty two the voltages
need to be still verified in chronological order. In most
cases if your facing a dead set scenario this is caused by
a shorted Y or X-driver board.
Testing for defective Y-drive boards can be done by looking
for a voltage drop if this is located in the Y-sustain
disconnect power and remove one Y-driver boards at a
time until Y-sustain voltage is accurate. If Y-sustain does
not respond with proper voltage supplied replace. Testing
for defective X-driver boards can be done by powering
down and disconnecting each X-driver and powering on
each quadrant at a time.
Pulse Frequency Coefficient: (PFC) adjustment is Located
the primary supply and is for aligning grid voltage. The
panels grid voltage averages 360 to 380 volts depending
on panel circuit.
Known symptoms:
No Power
Intermittent Power
Picture dimming to bright during certain seines
Primary colors off, Hue or flesh tones
Colors bleeding
Left to Right picture is dark to bright
Introduction to Plasma
How the power supply works
1) This is a path to supply SUSTAIN ,RESET waveform which is made
from Y SUSTAIN B/D to panel through SCAN DRIVER IC.
2) Supplies the waveform that selects Horizontal pulse (Y SUSTAIN pulse) sequentially.
- Potential difference is 0V between GND and Vpp of DRIVER IC in SUSTAIN period.
- Generated potential difference between GND and Vpp only in SCAN period.
X B/D X B/D
Receiving LOGIC signal from CONTROL B/D to make ADDRESS
PULSE generating address discharge by an ON/OFF operation,
and supplies this waveform to COF IC (data) or ribbon IC.
1. X B/D
Responsible for making SUSTAIN PULSE and ERASE PULSE that
that generates SUSTAIN discharge in panel by receiving LOGIC
signals the CONTROL B/D.
The Sustain discharge waveform is supplied to panel through FPC (Z
B/D).
Composed of IPM,FET,DIODE, electrolytic capacitor, E/R coil.

7. Ctrl B/D
CTRL B/D supplies video signal to COF. So if there is a
bar defect on panel this may be the ctrl b/d creating this
problem.
1. Confirm Y, Z SUS signal cable.
2. Check Y DRV IC FAIL
3. Check Y sus b/d voltages (-Vy.Vscw)

If an X-Board is found defective there is a slim
possibility that the panel could cause the new X-Board
Installed to fail due to panel short test by performing
Diode Check as in the above figures.

If an X-Board is found defective there is a slim possibility that a pixel could be found defective in the
responsible quadrant. This is caused by an arch in the panel caused at the point of the ICs failure.
The above FIGURE 55 shows the defective cell damage. Figure 56 shows the panel ribbon
attached to panel. We identified that for this panel the ribbons integrated IC was shorted.
Note: In figure 55 is 1 defective cell this is caused by an arch in the panel, this caused COF IC too short.

Most etching can be identified be using a Green/ Blue
or Red background and by adjusting the intensity
down. If the one color is displayed that CAUSED the
etching the color will be low in intensity compared to
the rest of the screen.
Etching considerations for extreme cases you need to
run white balance or heat run in 6 hour increments up-
to 24 hours. If you cant perform a proper white
balance after 24 hours the panel is not within spec and
the panel will not work/ display properly.

RS-232 (Activating remote link) for controlling Panel
Type of connector : D-Sub 9-pin male
* Use a null modem cable.
Wire the 7-Wire cable so that each pair of data lines
cross between the two devices. These data line pairs
are RXD (Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR
(DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side ready), and RTS
(Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).
When using the 3-Wire cable connected to RXD, TXD
and GND; Pin No. 4 (DTR) and Pin No. 6 (DSR) must
be connected to the monitor. (The cable must be
disconnected from the Monitor to be able to use the
remote control and Monitor front panel controls.)
* With the RS-232 input connected, the Monitor cannot
be controlled by both an external control device and the
remote control at the same time. The Monitor can only
be controlled by either the remote control or the external
control device.

7-Wire Cable Configuration
The Monitor is available to switch between external adjustment
and remote control adjustment using a control line.
Note: If the control line is high, the monitor is controlled by the
external control device. If the control line is low, the Monitor is
controlled by the Monitor's remote control.
3-Wire Cable Configuration
When using a 3-Wire cable configuration, there is no control
line. The external equipment can command the Monitor to
"change into remote control adjustment mode. When using a
3-Wire cable configuration, there is no control line. The external
control device must put the Monitor into the "change into remote
control adjustment mode. The Monitor will then be able to be
controlled by the remote control. If the Monitor is turned back
on, it will revert back to external device control.
The external control device must put the Monitor into the
"change into remote control adjustment mode "function in 7-
Wire Configuration.
3-Wire Cable Configuration
When using a 3-Wire cable configuration, there is no
control line. The external equipment can command the
Monitor to "change into remote control adjustment mode.
(When using a 3-Wire cable configuration there is no control
line. The external control device must put the Monitor into

Panel Testing
Definition of cell defect
1) Cell defect definition
- Non-ignition dot (dark defect): In a ignited cell, the cell
that an extinguished size is less than 50%. Cells which are
not working.
- Non-extinguishing dot(brightness defect): In an
extinguished cell, the cell that a ignited size is more than
50%. Cell which is always working ON.
- Unstable Dot (Flickering): Cell which repeats on
(brightness) and off (darkness).
- Uncontrollable Dot : Cell which is brighter or stays on
longer than other cells around it because of unstable
working condition.
A -ZONE : 70%
of Display Area
2) Test results are satisfied with each full red, green, blue,
black and white test pattern.
- Specifically, The full white test pattern is used to decide the
number of continuous cell defects, The full black test pattern is
used to decide the number of Non-extinguishing cell defects.
- The decision distance is 2.2m (3H, 60) away from the panel,
intensity of illumination is between 100 Lux and 200 Lux.
3) Cell defects do not increase or progress as time goes on.
