2-2 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

(1) Please be sure to unplug the power cord before remove the back-cover. (be sure the power is turn-off)
(2) Please do not change variable resistance settings in MAIN-BOARD, they are adjusted to the most suitable
value. If they are changed, it might happen LUMINANCE does not satisfy the white balance spec.
(3) Please consider that LCD backlight takes longer time to become stable of radiation characteristic in low
temperature than in room temperature.
(4) Please pay attention to displaying the same pattern for very long-time. Image might stick on LCD.

2-3 STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

(1) When you store LCD for a long time, it is recommended to keep the temperature between 0
without the exposure of sunlight and to keep the humidity less than 90% RH.

2. Clock adjustment
Set the Chroma at pattern 63 (cross-talk pattern) or WIN98/95 shut-down mode (dot-pattern).
Adjust until the vertical-Stripe-shadow as wide as possible or no visible.
This function is adjust the PLL divider of ADC to generate an accurate pixel clock
Example : Hsyn = 31.5KHz Pixel freq. = 25.175MHz (from VESA spec)
The Divider number is (N) = (Pixel freq. x 1000)/Hsyn
From this formula, we get the Divider number, if we fill this number in ADC register (divider register),
the PLL of ADC will generate a clock which have same period with above Pixel freq.(25.175MHz) the
accuracy of this clock will effect the size of screen.(this clock was called PIXEL-CLOCK)

3. Focus adjustment
Set the Chroma at pattern 63 (cross talk pattern) or WIN98/95 shut down mode (dot-pattern).
Adjust the horizontal interference as less as possible
This function is adjust the phase shift of PIXEL-CLOCK to acquire the right pixel data .
If the relationship of pixel data and pixel clock not so match, we will see the horizontal interference on
screen ,we only find this phenomena in crosstalk pattern or dot pattern , other pattern the affect is very
light

4. H/V-Position adjustment
Set the Chroma to pattern 1 (crosshatch pattern) or WIN98/95 full-white pattern confirm above item 2 & 3
functions (clock & focus) was done well, if that 2 functions failed, the H/V position will be failed too.
Adjust the four edge until all four-edges are visible at the edge of screen.

5. MULTI-LANGUAGE function
There have 5 language for selection, press "MENU" to selected and confirm , press " LEFT" or " RIGHT"
to change the kind of language ( English , Deutch , Francais, Espanol, Italian)

6. Reset function
Clear each old status of auto-configuration and re-do auto-configuration ( for all mode)
This function also recall 7800 color-temperature , if the monitor status was in " Factory-mode" this reset
function will clear Power-on counter ( backlight counter) too.

7. OSD-LOCK function
Press Left & Right key during switching on the monitor, the access to the OSD is locked, user only has
access to " Contrast, Brightness, Auto-key ".
If the operator pressed the Left & Right during switching on the monitor again , the OSD is unlocked.

8. View Power-on counter and reset the Power-on counter( if not necessary , no suggest to entry factory
mode)
The Power-on counter was used to record how long the backlight of panel already working, the backlight
life time was guarantee minimal 25000 hours, the maintainer can check the record only in factory mode.
Press MENU button for 2 seconds along with plug-in DC power cord will be in factory mode, and the
OSD screen will located at left top of panel but take cautions don't press icon "78" & "65", if you
press 78/65 , your white-balance data will overlap with the new-one, and you must perform the white-
balance process again.
The result of counter was place at top of OSD, the maximal of record memory was 65000 hours, if exceed
65000 hours the counter will keep in 65000 hours until press " RESET" at osd-menu in factory mode.
The " RESET" function in factory mode will execute following function:
1. clear the Power-on counter to zero hours

POWER-BLOCK check
**Note : the Waveform of U304 pin 2 can determined the power situation
1. stable rectangle waveform with equal duty, freq around 150K-158KHz
that means all power of this interface board is in normal operation
,and all status of 5V & 3.3V is working well
2. unstable or uneven rectangle waveform without same duty, that means ABNORMAL operation was
happened, check 3.3V or 5V ,if short-circuit or bad component
3. rectangle waveform with large spike & harmonic pulse on front side , means all 3.3v is no load, U200
Gmzan1 was shut-down, and only U302 MCU still working , that means the monitor is in power saving
status , all power system is working well .


NG
Measure input power at U304 LM2596 pin 1= Check ADAPTER and connector if loose?
12V ?

OK
NG Check U304 pin 2 is a unstable rectangle wave ?
Check U304 pin 2 is a stable rectangle wave?
Around 150k-158kHz stable rectangle wave
with equal duty without any spike or harmonic
pulse? OK, unstable wave
NG, with
harmonic
Check all 3.3V & 5V power, there is
OK pulse
short circuit or bad component was
happened

The interface board power is good




The interface board is in power-
saving state, press power key to wake
up & check your signal input




19
III.ALL SCREEN HAS INTERFERENCES OR NOISE, CAN'T BE FIXED BY AUTO KEY

** NOTE: There is so many kind of interferences, 1). One is cause by some VGA-CARD that not meet VESA spec or
power grounding too bad that influence our circuit
2).other is cause by external interferences, move the monitor far from electronic equipment.( rarely
happened)


Use DOT-pattern, or win98/99 shut-down
mode pattern, press "AUTO" key, was the OK
END
interferences disappear ??


NG, interferences still exist
OK
Adjust "FOCUS" step by step, until the
END
horizontal interferences disappear


NG
Yes, has extension Put away the additional cable
Does your signal-cable have an additional May be the additional cable grounding is
cable for extension ?? not quite well

NO additional extension cable
NO, all mode
Does your noise only exist in one mode only?
(ex: only at 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz, other is normal) Change the Signal-cable to new-one or
Try other brand VGA-CARD
(make sure just only that brand VGA-
CARD has this problem ,contact RD-
taipei)


That was cause by you VGA-CARD setting, your VGA
card timing backporch/frontporch exceed vesa timing too
far, for some new AGP-VGA-CARD such situation
always happened
So in your control-panel icon ,select monitor ,setting ,
advance ,screen-adjust,at
Size icon, increase step by step slowly, press ""AUTO"
key every step you increase the SIZE . repeat the
procedure( increase/decrease SIZE one-step and press
AUTO) until the interferences disappear, press "APPLY"
to save in your VGA




20
There is an interferences in DOS MODE
NOTE :the criteria of doing AUTO-CONFIGURATION : must be a full-size screen, if the screen not full , the auto-
configuration will fail. So in dos mode ,just set your "CLOCK" in OSD-MENU to zero or use some EDITOR
software which can full fill the whole screen (ex: PE2, HE) and then press "AUTO"
Or you can use "DOS1.EXE" which attached in your Driver disk to optimize DOS mode performance

V. THE PANEL LUMINANCE WAS DOWN
Use white pattern and resolution 1280x1024 @ 60Hz , CHROMA 7120 measured the center of panel

Set Contrast, brightness =maximal, RGB= 50 If Y can reach 190 cd/m2 that means
Quit from OSD-screen, measured Y(luminance) The lamp still working well, so we just re-do the
With chroma 7120, check Y= 240±10 CD/M2 ? white-balance process
As following procedure
OK

NG


Adjust VR201 until maximal, measured Y = Use white-pattern, press MENU button along
240±10 cd/m2 ? OK with AC power-plug in ( you will in factory
mode) The OSD-menu will be at left-top of
screen,
NG


If the Y less than 160 cd/m2 (after the VR201=
MAX, contrast, brightness = max) then change the
LAMP of panel press AUTO button to automatically adjust
blacklevel value, you will see the sign PASS ,if
FAIL , manual adjust the blacklevel until value 43 !




Set contrast, brightness to max, and turn the VR201
to max , wait for 20 minutes until the luminance Y
stable
The Y should be larger than 200 cd/m2
(for panel which already use for a year, the Y
luminance might be a little down, around 180
cd/m2, there is acceptable too)




Follow this manual page 7 item 4-2 method to
more detail procedure for do a white-balance
adjust
