Disassembly Procedures

Step-by-step instructions for disassembling the LG 50PC1D Plasma TV.

  1. Remove Stand: Lay TV face down on soft surface, remove 4 screws securing stand
  2. Remove Rear Cover: Remove all screws from rear cover, carefully separate cover from chassis
  3. Disconnect Cables: Note cable positions, disconnect all internal cables and connectors
  4. Remove Main Boards: Remove screws securing main board, power supply, and audio board
  5. Access Panel Components: Remove metal shielding to access buffer boards and control boards
  6. Panel Removal: Extreme caution - plasma panel is fragile and requires special handling

WARNING! Always disconnect power and discharge capacitors before disassembly. Handle plasma panel with extreme care to avoid permanent damage.

Troubleshooting Guide

Systematic troubleshooting procedures for common failure modes.

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
No PowerPower supply failure, fuse blown, standby circuitCheck AC input, fuses F101/F102, measure standby 5V
No Picture/Sound OKSustain boards, buffer boards, logic controlCheck Vs, Va voltages, verify sustain waveforms
Sound No PictureY-sustain, X-sustain, panel driveMeasure sustain board outputs, check buffer boards
Intermittent ShutdownOvercurrent protection, thermal shutdownCheck current sense circuits, heat sink temperatures
Vertical LinesBuffer board failure, panel connectionReplace affected buffer board, check flex cable connections
Color ProblemsMain board video processing, cable connectionsCheck video input signals, main board RGB processing
No AudioAudio board, speakers, main board audioCheck audio board power, speaker connections, input signals

Adjustment Procedures

Factory adjustment procedures using service remote and service mode.

  1. White Balance Adjustment: Enter service mode, adjust R/G/B gains and offsets
  2. Geometry Adjustment: Set horizontal/vertical position, size, and linearity
  3. Color Temperature: Adjust 6500K and 9300K color temperature settings
  4. Convergence Adjustment: Fine-tune RGB convergence for optimal picture quality
  5. Audio Level Adjustment: Set volume curve and maximum output levels
  6. Panel Aging Reset: Reset panel usage hours counter after component replacement

CAUTION! Record original settings before making adjustments. Incorrect settings may cause permanent damage.
