Repairing Samsung 153V LCD Keep an eye on With Dim Display Difficulty
Among the widespread troubles in Samsung 153v LCD Keep an eye on was screen dim. When you get closer towards the display and start to observe the display below dark environment you really could see the show but it was incredibly dim. If you ever press the front panel button, the on display screen show (OSD) would appeared and this evidence the primary board, driver board and LCD panel is functioning along with the challenge is within the inverter board. The functionality of inverter board would be to generate an ac wave from dc voltage to power up the lamps which was located in the leading and bottom of the LCD Observe. If the inverter board has complications it would not light up the lamps and what you could see only a dim show.
I nevertheless could recall when I 1st encountered these difficulties long time ago and due to lack of data, I could not solve it. I did get in touch with up my restore pals to asked about the solution but nobody in a position to give me an answer. Even should you surf the net for “Samsung 153V LCD Keep an eye on dim exhibit repair”, you’d not get it. On account of this I have to complete my own investigation to obtain the remedy and I’ve in no way quit. Winston Churchill when stated “Never, never, never give up”. I am releasing the remedy only to my loyal members or subscribers only-thanks for the support.
Let us begin now! As soon as the cover and the internal aluminum casing had been opened I found two bulged filter capacitors in the secondary side of switch mode power provide. The value was 470 and 1000 microfarad 25 volts. I noticed four extra electrolytic capacitors situated at the inverter board have changed coloration and also the value was 47 micro farad 25 volts. Browsing by way of the entire board with my ESR meter I discovered yet another capacitor faulty (220 uf twenty five volts) which was near the fuse (3amp). Because this capacitor was located in the exact same line using the fuse, I presumed that the fuse may give way too. True sufficient, checking the fuse with the ohmmeter disclosed that it’s got open circuit.
Now, the real challenge confronted by lots of electronic repairers who deals with this particular design was, soon after changing all the elements earlier mentioned the LCD Keep an eye on still wouldn’t work-it’s nonetheless dim! 1st you’ve to ask your self why the fuse blown? Could it be brought on by the defective capacitors or some thing shorted outside of the fuse line? The nearest circuit towards the fuse was the start off circuit that consisted of the pair of NPN and PNP digital transistor (4k7 +4k7 resistor built in to the transistor). Another LCD monitor developed utilised the mixture of C945 and A733 in commence circuit. From the way the part range for Samsung 153V begin circuit transistors were the A6J (PNP digital transistor) and the A8J (NPN digital transistor) as shown inside the image.
Often only these transistors have complications (shorted) that brought on the fuse to blow but in the above case both digital transistors are tested okay. Since each transistors were working, now the focus need to be within the 4 ic’s that generate the large voltage transformers given that the twelve volts voltage was supplying to every of those ic’s. These four ic’s have a lot of portion numbers and also the most widespread 1 that the manufacturer employed was 4532m. Some board utilised the AD4E10 and BBD3N13 part quantity. In the minute it really is quite hard to obtain the datasheet or technical specification for this range even in the web search.
Do you realize what’s inside these IC’s? It’s truly a pair of P-channel as well as a N-channel mosfet constructed into it. And do you know that it can be check having a meter? Certainly, if you ever utilize the Peak atlas part analyzer, it would prompt to you personally the consequence. From the outcome that which you get are N channel FET located at pin one (supply), pin two (gate), pin 7 & 8 (drain and both pins joint together internally). As for P channel FET, pin 3 (source), pin four (gate) and pin 5 & 6 (drain and each pins joint internally). In the over examination I discovered two of these ic’s have shorted. Changing these two shorted IC using the capacitors and fuse put the LCD Monitor back to life!
One far more issue I would like to share on this design was the inverter PWM IC BIT1305 was really robust and rarely gave trouble.
