Diagnosing LCD TV Malfunctions In Boards Like The Timing Control D50ud1

By Henry Patterson


In the early days television sets were not made up of much more than a set of rabbit ears on top of a tube enclosed in wood with fuses, knobs, a scanner, and wires. Like everything else in the world today, television sets are a lot more complex. If the electronics involved is of interest to you, understanding the functions of the primary boards in your tv, like the timing control D50ud1, might help you figure out what's going wrong with it.

If you open up the back of your television set you will probably find the power supply board, or power supply module, on the right hand side of your unit as you are looking at it. It will be the largest and heaviest of all the boards on the back of the set. The purpose of this board is to convert the AC, or alternating current, supply, which can change directions, into DC, or direct current, voltage.

Direct current, or DC, moves in only one direction. The circuit located in the LCD television uses this. You may find the inverter board and the power supply module joined in some televisions. If you're experiencing a lack of power, or only intermittent power, the power supply board may be malfunctioning.

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 T-Con board is there to control the TFT, thin film transistor, driver and the circuit. If you're experiencing horizontal or vertical lines you may be having trouble with the timing control board. Other indications are a white screen, a double image, or no image at all.

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 motherboard, the logic board, the main module, and the digital board. This is going to be the board on the back of the television that has the sound and video inputs and outputs attached to it. The main board is what takes in the signals and converts analog into digital. If you don't have color or sound, have vertical lines, or no picture, the main board may be the culprit.

The audio receiving board or jackpack can be separated from the motherboard. The jackpack moves the sound signal to a processor and then to the amplifiers that are on either side of your television. If you can't get any sound, or hear a high pitched tone, the jackpack can be the culprit. You should check out the jackpack if the channels start to change randomly.
