T-con Samsung identifying problem

Re: T-con Samsung identifying problem

I thought if the Tcon fuse was blown there was a problem withe the Pannel? Surges don't affect the Tcon it''s almost always the Power Supply or Main Board. Is the Pannel loading the Power to the Tcon and lowering the voltage?

Hi

The original problem was with a shorted PNP transistor on the power board. The glue on it was causing it to short and then blow the T-conn fuse f1. See thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=48472

ISTM that the panel may be loading the AVDD supply.

The T-Con PCB with the higher input voltage (11V) appears to have a failed AVDD regulator whereas the T-Con that is loading the input appears to have a working AVDD supply. Assuming that the AVDD rail powers the panel, this would point to the AVDD rail and/or the panel as the culprit.

I would measure the resistance between AVDD and ground, with and without the panel connected.

Re: T-con Samsung identifying problem

Fig 34, page 33 of the following datasheet (for ICD1) appears to have an application circuit that is similar to your own.

TPS65167A, Texas Instruments, Compact LCD Bias Supply for TFT-LCD TV Panels:

There should be a voltage of around 15V at the AVDD test point at the cathode of SD1.

I can see VOFF and VSS test points above L2 on your board.

ICD1 also has VGL (-8V) and VGH (+24V) outputs (according to the datasheet).

QD1 is a 2SA1718 PNP transistor for the Vcore supply (+1.2V).

2SA1718, PNP, -100V, -5A, Darlington:



I can't make sense of the part marking on ICD2.

There are also VON and VOFF test points at the bottom left corner of the T-Con PCB.

Re: T-con Samsung identifying problem

Can you tell us the markings on QDI, ICD2, ICD1?

SD1, L1 and ICD1 appear to constitute a boost converter. Therefore I would expect a much higher voltage at the AVDD test point (cathode of SD1).

ICD2 appears to be switching Vin, or perhaps it's an LDO regulator.

There appears to be a +3.3V test point to the right of L2, so that would suggest that L2 and SD2 constitute the Vio supply for ICT1 and its peripheral chips.

There is a 1.2V test point to the right of QDI, so that would suggest that QDI is the pass transistor for the Vcore supply for ICT1.

ICD1: TPS 65167A TI 88W Z916G4
ICD1: 442\
QDI: k A1718 Y 848

For both boards the 1.2v and 3.3v measurements match OK.

Re: T-con Samsung identifying problem

Is the 11v at f1 both sides ?

Yes on the new board it is 11v on each side. On the original it is 9v on each side.

Have a samsung 320AB02CP2LV0.3 t-con that is not working. Ordered up a second hand one but it was faulty also. Trying to compare the voltage points from both to see if I can salvage/make one work.

T-con original (fuse used to blow due to power board issue, now fixed): Only shows vertical coloured strips now.

Power at f1: 9v
c1: 3v
c2: 8.6v
L2: 3v
L1: 9v
SD2: 3,0
SD1: 9,9
QDI: 2.6, 1.2, 3.3
CIN1 - CIN4 : 9v

Bad recieved T-con (worked for about 2 minutes before compete loss of picture)

Power at f1: 11v
c1: 3v
c2: 1-2v
L2: 3v
L1: 1-2v
SD2: 3,0
SD1: 0-2,0-1.9
QDI: 2.6, 1.2, 3.3
CIN1 - CIN4 : 11v

On the second hand one seems to be more bad voltage areas that vary in voltage ranges.

Original seems to be more consistent but only pulling 9v into the board.

Anyone got any ideas
