DC POWER SUPPLY BOARD– converts the AC line voltage to lower voltages that are required for the
operation of the television. The very important section is the stand-by 5V needed by the microprocessor
to stay wake so when it receives a command such as power on to turn on the power supply, then the
power supply generates secondary voltages needed which can vary by television, some are 12-18V needed
by the audio circuit and 24 volts supply to the inverter board and numerous other voltages.

VIDEO/CONTROL BOARD – controls all the functions of a television such as power, volume, input selection,
sound and picture, also receives the remote-control commands from the infrared receiver and translates
them to different commands such as volume up/down, channel up/down, menu functions, input
selections such as HDMI, Video 1, Video2 and so on. Also, it does all the signal, video processing and color
from the various inputs.

INVERTER BOARD – this board generates the high voltage 1200V-1500V needed by the fluorescent tubes
inside the LCD panel for the gas to ignite, this is otherwise known as “ballast” which is similar to household
fluorescent lights we have been using, there is an average of 10 to 20 tubes depending on the size of the
screen inside the metal enclosure just behind the screen, the inverter receives the 24Vdc derived from
the power supply secondary voltages and converts it to high voltage, also detects failures of the individual
fluorescent tubes and it generates an error command back to the main board to turn the television off for
protection purposes.

REMOTE-CONTROL RECEIVER - this small circuit board receives commands from the remote control and
sends them to the microprocessor which is located on the main board, this board also is supplied by the
standby 5V power generated by the power supply circuit and it is a good test point to check and verify if
there is 5 volts generated by the power supply.

LVDS CABLE (LOW VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALING) - this thin wire cable transfers the various signals
needed by the LCD/LED panel from the main board.

CONTROLLER/CONTROL/T-CON BOARD (TIMING CONTROL BOARD)- controls the logic signal of gate and
source for driving the TFT LCD. This board is normally located on the top of the LCD screen and is covered
by a metal shield, the board controls the individual lines vertical and horizontal sections of the LCD screen,
normal supply voltages for this board is 5-12 volts depending on the manufactures design requirements.

LCD PANEL – a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical devices that uses the light-
modulating properties of liquid crystals.
1. FLYBACK TRANSFORMER – generates high voltage about 24kVdc to the CRT or picture tube
2. TUNER – converts a radio frequency A/D TV transmission into audio and video signals which can
be further processed to produce sound and video.
3. EEPROM – store small amount of TV information like previously accessed channel, volume level
and display settings.
4. AUDIO AMPLIFIER – amplifies the sound signals and drives the loudspeaker
5. VIDEO AMPLIFIER – allows a video signal to be filtered and displayed with a higher resolution or
quality.
6. DEFLECTION YOKE – generates a magnetic field which directs the electron beams generated by
the electron gun to specific points on the CRT screen.
7. VERTICAL OUTPUT AMPLIFIER – drives the vertical deflection coil of a deflection yoke. Without
this, only a horizontal line could be seen on the TV screen.
8. HORIZONTAL OUTPUT TRANSISTOR (HOT) – serves to provide sufficient power to be able to
generate voltage pulses to the horizontal deflection.
9. CHANNEL, AUDIO AND VIDEO CONTROL BUTTONS - used to adjust the volume and picture of the
TV set and select the desired TV channels to watch.
10. SPEAKER/LOUDSPEAKER – generates the audio/sound component of the video produced.
11. ANODE CAP – seals and protects the critical connections between and anode and a lead wire.
12. CRT SOCKET – mounted to the tube and establishes connection between the tube and the CRT
board.
13. CRT/PICTURE TUBE – produces the colors for a TV using a vacuum and an electron gun, connected
to a fluorescent screen.
14. DEGAUSSING COIL – removes the colored spots on the screen due to the magnetic flux and the
Earth’s magnetic field.
15. CONVERGENCE RINGS – magnetic rings that adjust the RGB beams to obtain pure red, green and
blue colors and are also adjusted individually to achieve the registration of the three colors to
produce white color.
