WARNING FOR THE SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT.
•There are some special components used in LCD
monitor that are important for safety. These parts are
marked on the schematic diagram and the
replacement parts list. It is essential that these critical
parts should be replaced with the manufacturer’s
specified parts to prevent electric shock, fire or other
hazard.
•Do not modify original design without obtaining written
permission from manufacturer or you will void the
original parts and labor guarantee.
TAKE CARE DURING HANDLING THE LCD MODULE
WITH BACKLIGHT UNIT.
•Must mount the module using mounting holes arranged
in four corners.
•Do not press on the panel, edge of the frame strongly
or electric shock as this will result in damage to the
screen.
•Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp
objects, such as pencil or pen as this may result in
damage to the panel.
•Protect the module from the ESD as it may damage the
electronic circuit (C-MOS).
•Make certain that treatment person’s body are
grounded through wrist band.
•Do not leave the module in high temperature and in
areas of high humidity for a long time.
•The module not be exposed to the direct sunlight.
•Avoid contact with water as it may a short circuit within
the module.
•If the surface of panel become dirty, please wipe it off
with a softmaterial. (Cleaning with a dirty or rough cloth
may damage the panel.)
WARNING
BE CAREFUL ELECTRIC SHOCK !
•If you want to replace with the new backlight (CCFL) or
inverter circuit, must disconnect the AC adapter
because high voltage appears at inverter circuit about
650Vrms.
•Handle with care wires or connectors of the inverter
circuit. If the wires are pressed cause short and may
burn or take fire.
PRECAUTION
CAUTION
Please use only a plastic screwdriver to protect yourself
from shock hazard during service operation.

Brightness, Sharpness, Color, tint signals Including
Adaptive Comb Filter.
6. Audio decoder part.
This block is composed of MSP3420G (U503) and
peripheral devices.
This IC analyzes Audio input signal through A/V Jack
and PC audio.
And output the analyzed signals to Audio Amplifier
(TPA3004).
7. Audio Amplifier
This block is composed of TPA3004 (U505) and
peripheral devices.
It amplifies audio signal input from Audio Decoder and
output amplified audio signal to Speaker, Audio Output
Jack.
8. Control
It receives outer key input, transmits the input to
Micom(U403).
There is key input part and remote controller receiver.
9. LIPS Part
It is composed of two parts
- Power Part functions that Input power converts to
33V,12V,5V power for operating circuits.
- Inverter Part functions that Input Power converts to
compatible "Vrms" value for operate LCD lamp.
