Understanding What Electronic Boards In LCD TVs, The T-Con D50ud1 For Instance, Really Do

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.

When you look at the back of your tv set, once it's been opened up, you will see the power supply board, also called the power supply module, sitting on the right side. This will be the biggest and heaviest of the boards on the back panel. The job of the power supply board is to convert the AC, alternating current, supply, which changes directions, into a DC, 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 T-Con, or timing control board, will be the smallest board on the panel. LCD televisions are the only ones that have them. These boards are usually covered by a shield and are located on the top back of your panel.

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 called the main module, the digital or logic board, or the motherboard. The video and audio inputs and outputs are attached to it. The main board converts signals from analog to digital. If you're having trouble with the sound or the color, it may be the main board.

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.
