to repair a major Product, personal injury and property damage can result. The manufacturer or
seller maintains no liability for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any
liability in conjunction with its use. When servicing this product, under no circumstances should
the original design be modified or altered without permission from LG Electronics. Unauthorized
modifications will not only void the warranty, but may lead to property damage or user injury.
If wires, screws, clips, straps, nuts, or washers used to complete a ground path are removed for
service, they must be returned to their original positions and properly fastened.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, disconnect the power before servicing this product. If electrical power
is required for diagnosis or test purposes, disconnect the power immediately after performing
the necessary checks. Also be aware that many household products present a weight hazard.
At least two people should be involved in the installation or servicing of such devices.
Failure to consider the weight of an product could result in physical injury.

ESD Notice (Electrostatic Static Discharge)
Todays 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 inside the Panel when making adjustments on the Power Supply, Y-SUS and Z-SUS Boards.
3. Always adjust to the specified voltage level (+/- 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-SUS or Y-Drive 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, routed to the Standby 5V
supply. 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 (IC1) operation (STBY 3.46V RUN 5.14V).
When the Microprocessor (IC1) on the Main Board receives a POWER ON Command from either the Power button or
the Remote IR Signal, it outputs a high (2.43V) called RL_ON at Pin 15 of P813. This command causes the Relay Circuit to
close both Relays RL101 and RL103 routing AC to the Bridge Rectifier D101 which then routes the primary voltage to the
PFC circuit (Power Factor Controller) 388V which can be read measuring voltage at Fuses F302 and F801 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 (4.44V) and sent to P301 to the Main Board where it is sensed and
monitored by the Main Microprocessor (IC1). If AC Det is missing the set will come on, but shut off in 10 seconds.
When RL_ON arrives, the run voltage +5V source becomes active and is sent to the Main Board via P813 (5.17V 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 (2.85V STBY
and 4.90V 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 Audio supply outputs to the Main board at P813 pins 1 and 2 and used for Audio processing and
amplification.
The next step is for the Microprocessor IC1 on the Main Board to output a high (3.29V) 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 9 and 10 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 P812 to the Y-SUS board P210. (VA pins 6 and 7 and VS pins 1 and 2). Note: The Va is fused
on the Y-SUS then routed out P203 to the X-Board Left. VS is also routed out of the Y-SUS P211 pins 4 and 5 to the Z-SUS
P2.
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.

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.

50PJ350 Power Supply Troubleshooting
With P813 disconnected from the Main board (P301) attach 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. Then follow the instructions below to completely test turn on sequence.
Note: Placing the two 100 Watt light bulbs from Vs to Ground will assure the power Use Main

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 ICs.
The Y-Drive Boards receive a waveform
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 50PJ350 uses 8 Driver ICs on
2 Y-Drive Boards commonly called
Y-Drive Buffers but are actually Gate
Arrays.

Y-Drive Board Layout
Y-DRIVE UPPER Y-DRIVE LOWER

Key Points of interest are;

If the lugs for Floating Gnd and Scan are
making contact with the Y-SUS board and the
connector P205 or the one between Upper and
lower P204/P110 are removed, the Y-SUS board
will fail.
Floating Ground is delivered to each of the
Y-Drive boards by 2 screw lugs.
Scan is delivered to each of the Y-Drive boards

by 1 screw lugs.
Each of the Y-Drive boards operate from
Floating Ground, (no reference to Chassis Gnd).
Floating Gnd 5V can be measured across C105

(Upper) or C205 (Lower).

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,
Gently Pry before removing ribbon.
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.

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 12 bit LVDS format. Their presence can be confirmed
with the Oscilloscope by monitoring the LVDS signals with SMPTE
P121 Color Bar input. Loss of these Signals would confirm the failure is on
LVDS the Main Board or the LVDS Cable itself.

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.
X-BOARD OPERATIONAL VOLTAGE:

VA: Originally developed on the Switched Mode Power Supply.
VA (Voltage for Address) is routed through the Y-SUS board, out on P203 pins 5~7
and then to the Left X board via P122 pins 5~7. Va leaves P121 pins 1~5 and is sent
to the Center X-Board via P212 pins 48~50.
It then leaves on P211 pins 1~5 and goes to the Right X P331 pins 48~50.
3.3V: Control board develops 3.3V (IC231) and routes to the Center X board via
ribbon connector P232 pins 1~5. It is then distributed to the other X Boards.
To the Left X board via P212 pins 41~42 to P121 pins 11~12.
To the Right X board via P211 pins 11~12 to P331 pins 41~42.

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 16 TCPs, 5 on the left and right.
The Center X board has connections to 6 TCPs.
There are a total of 16 TCPs and each TCP has 2 gate arrays, so
there are a total of 32 buffers feeding the panels 4986 vertical
electrodes.

X Board TCP Heat Sink Warning
NEVER run the television with this heat sink removed.
Damage to the TCPs will occur and cause a defective panel.
The Vertical Address

buffers (TCPs) have
one heat sink
indicated by the arrow.
It protects all 16 TCPs.

FRONT IR, POWER LED and SOFT TOUCH KEY PAD SECTION
The following section gives detailed information about the Front IR and Soft Touch
Key Pad. These boards contains the Infrared Receiver, Intelligent Sensor and Power
LEDs section. The Soft Touch Function Keys is actually a thin pad adhered to the
front protective shield.
The Power LED Driver and Intelligent Sensor IC communicate with the Main Board
Microprocessor (IC1) 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 (IC302)
3.3V_MST generated on the Main Board (IC303).
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 Soft Touch Key Pad is routed through the Front IR board and out P100 to
P704 pins 3 and 4.

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 IC1.
