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

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 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 Supply
and 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.
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 Board Failure, Mal-discharge on screen, etc.

Basic 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 Operation
AC 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.

50PQ30 SMPS STATIC TEST UNDER 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.

Y-DRIVE BOARD SECTION (Y-Drive Explained)
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

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
Up Here
Locking tab in
upright position
Fig 1 Fig 2 Fig 3
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 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.

X BOARDS SECTION
X Board Left, Center and Right (Commonly known as A-BUS)
The X Drive Boards deliver the Color drive signals to the Vertical Grids via TCPs.
The 50PQ30 has a Left, Center and a Right X-Drive board.
The Center X-Board has 6 connectors to a TCPs.
The Left and Right have 5 connections to TCPs.
Each TCP has 2 internal buffers.
Each buffer controls 128 vertical grids lines (256 per/TCP).
Generally speaking, there isn’t many active components on the X-Drive Boards.
So they are not very prone to failure.
In this section the X-Drive will be discussed and information given allowing the
service technician to determine if a failure has occurred in the X-Drive section.
X-BOARDS CONTROL THE VERTICAL ELECTRODES WHICH DETERMINE THE HORIZONTAL PIXEL COUNT.
TOTAL VERTICAL ELECTRODES 4096. TOTAL HORIZONTAL PIXELS 1365.
Total Buffer Count = 36

(TCPs = 16 @ 2 buffers per/TCP)
Total Output Pins = 4096

(128 per buffer X 36 total)
Total Pixels (Horizontal) 1365

(4096 / 3) Three cells per pixel (Red, Green and Blue)

Left, Center and Right X Boards (Commonly known as A-BUS)
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.

50PQ30 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:
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).

Checking the Y-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.

½ 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.
