Diagnosing LCD TV Malfunctions In Boards Like The Timing Control D50ud1

By Henry Patterson


Once upon a time televisions were mostly made up of tubes encased in wood, wires, knobs, scanners, and rabbit ears. As with most things, televisions have become much more complicated and technical in today's world. Even though you may not have any plans to become a television repair person, you might still be interested in learning about the boards, such as the T-Con d50ud1, inside LCD tvs, if the science of electronics intrigues you.

When you open the back of an LCD television, you will most likely find the power supply module, or power supply board, located on the right side the back when you're looking at it. The power supply board is going to be the heaviest and biggest board on the back of your set. The function of the power supply board is to convert alternating current supply, or AC, which has the ability to change directions, to direct current voltage, DC.

Direct current moves in one direction only and is what the circuit inside the LCD television uses. In some televisions the power supply board and the inverter board are joined together. If the power supply board malfunctions you'll get no power or intermittent power.

The timing control board, or T-con, is the smallest board in the television. It is pretty much only found in LCD tvs. You'll probably find it under a shield toward the top of the back of the television.

The function of the timing control board is to control both the circuit and the TFT driver. If the T-Con board malfunctions you might see horizontal or vertical lines or a double image. There might also be just a white screen or no display.

You'll find the inverter board on one edge of the back panel. You won't find it at all unless you have an LCD tv. The purpose of the inverter board is to convert the low voltage DC that is supplied by the switched mode power supply. It turns the low voltage into high AC. This is what causes the backlights to light up. The inverter board and the power board are sometimes found together. You may have a problem with an inverter board when you see a dim screen, or when the display completely shuts down.

The main board is also known as the logic board, the digital board, the main module, and the mother board. You will recognize the main board because it is the one with the video and sound outputs and inputs attached to it. The main board takes in signals and converts the analog signals into digital. The main board may be malfunctioning when you don't have sound or color or a picture.

The jackpack or audio receiving board is sometimes separated from the main board. Its function is to take the sound signal to the processor and on to the amplifier which is what drives the speakers on either side of the television. If you don't have sound, or a high pitched one, or channels that change randomly, you need to have the jackpack checked out.
