Important Safety Notice
2HUDSON 8
Proper service and repair is important to the safe,
reliable operation of all Philips Consumer Electronics
Company** Equipment. The service procedures
recommended by Philips and described in this service
manual are effective methods of performing service
operations. Some of these service operations require
the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The
special tools should be used when and as
recommended.
It is important to note that this manual contains various
CAUTIONS and NOTICES which should be carefully
read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury to
service personnel. The possibility exists that improper
service methods may damage the equipment. It is also
important to understand that these CAUTIONS and
NOTICES ARE NOT EXHAUSTIVE. Philips could not
possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of
all conceivable ways in which service might be done or
of the possible hazardous consequences of each way.
Consequently, Philips has not undertaken any such
broad evaluation. Accordingly, a servicer who uses a
service procedure or tool which is not recommended by
Philips must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither
his safety nor the safe operation of the equipment will
be jeopardized by the service method selected.
* * Hereafter throughout this manual, Philips Consumer
Electronics Company will be referred to as Philips.
WARNING
Critical components having special safety
characteristics are identified with a by the Ref. No.
in the parts list and enclosed within a broken line*
(where several critical components are grouped in one
area) along with the safety symbol on the
schematics or exploded views.
Use of substitute replacement parts which do not have
the same specified safety characteristics may create
shock, fire, or other hazards.
Under no circumstances should the original design be
modified or altered without written permission from
Philips. Philips assumes no liability, express or implied,
arising out of any unauthorized modification of design.
Servicer assumes all liability.

Take care during handling the LCD module with backlight
unit
- Must mount the moduleusing mounting holes arranged infour
corners.
- Do not press onthe panel, edge of theframe strongly or electric
shock as this will result in damage to the screen.
- Do not scratch orpress on the panel withany sharp objects, such
as pencil or pen asthis may result in damage to the panel.
- Protect the module fromthe ESD as it maydamage the electronic
circuit (C-MOS).
- Make certain that treatment person s body are grounded through
wrist band.
- Do not leave themodule in high temperature andin areas of high
humidity for a long time.
- Avoid contact with water as it may ashort circuit within the module.
- If the surface ofpanel become dirty, please wipe it off with a soft
material. (Cleaning with a dirty or rough cloth may damage the
panel.)

Description of the On Screen Display
On-Screen Display (OSD) is a feature in all Philips LCD monitors. It allows an end user to adjust screen performance or select functions
of the monitors directly through an on-screen instruction window. A user friendly on screen display interface is shown as below :
Basic and simple instruction on the control keys.
In the OSD shown above users can press buttons at the front bezel of the monitor to move the cursor, to confirm the choice or
change, and to adjust/select the change.

Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of
the industry's most advanced manufacturing processes and practice
stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on
the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable.
No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects,
but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable number of
defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice explains
the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for
each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement under warranty,
the number of pixel defects on a TFT LCD panel must exceed these
acceptable levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of the sub pixels on a 17"
XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even higher quality
standards for certain types or combinations of pixel defects that are more
noticeable than others. This policy is valid worldwide
Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Pixels and Sub pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels
in the primary colors of red, green and blue. Many pixels
together form an image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit,
the three colored sub pixels together appear as a single white
pixel. When all are dark, the three colored sub pixels together
appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and
dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of other colors.
Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways.
There are two categories of pixel defects and several types of sub
pixel defects within each category.Bright Dot Defects Bright dot
defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'.
That is,a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen
when the monitor displays a dark pattern.There are the types
of bright dot defects
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub
pixels that are always dark or 'off'. That is, a dark dot is a
sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor
displays a light pattern.These are the types of black dot defects:
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that
are near to one another may be more noticeable, Philips also
specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects.
Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects
during the warranty period, a TFT LCD panel in a Philips flat
panel monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the
tolerances listed in the following tables.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL 170C7 190C7
1 lit subpixel 3orfewer 3orfewer
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1 or fewer 1 or fewer
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one
white pixel) 0 0
Distance between two bright
dot defects* 15 mm or more 25 mm or more
Total bright dot defects of all
types 3orfewer 3orfewer
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL

3 adjacent dark subpixels 0 0

.First, ensure that the power button on the front of the monitor is
in the OFF position, then press it to the ON position.
No Picture
(Power LED is amber or yellow)
Make sure the computer is turned on.
Make sure the signal cable is properly connected
computer.
Check to see if the monitor cable has bent pins.
The Energy Saving feature may be activated
Screen says Make sure the monitor cable is properly connected to
your computer. (Also refer to the Quick Set-Up Guide).
Check to see if the monitor cable has bent pins.
Make sure the computer is turned on.
AUTO button not working properly
The Auto Function is designed for use on standard Macintosh or
IBM-compatible PCs running Microsoft Windows.
It may not work properly if using nonstandard PC or videocard.
Imaging Problems
Display position is incorrect
Press the Auto button.
Adjust the image position using the Phase/Clock of More Settings
in OSD Main Controls.
Image vibrates on the screen
Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the
graphics board or PC
Vertical flicker appears Press the Auto button.
Eliminate the vertical bars using the Phase/Clock of More
Settings in OSD Main Controls.
Horizontal flicker appears Press the Auto button.
Eliminate the vertical bars using the Phase/Clock of More
Settings in OSD Main Controls.
The screen is too bright or too dark
Adjust the contrast and brightness on On-Screen Display.(The
backlight of the LCD monitor has a fixed life span. When the screen
becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact your sales
representative).
An after-image appears If an image remains on the screen for an extended period of time,
it may be imprinted in the screen and leave an afterimage.This
usually disappears after a few hours
An after-image remains after the power
has been turned off.
This is characteristic of liquid crystal and is not caused by
amalfunction or deterioration of the liquid crystal. The afterimage
will disappear after a peroid of time.
Green, red, blue, dark, and white dots The remaining dots are normal characteristic of the liquid crystal
