Understanding What The Boards In LCD TVs, Like The T-Con D50ud1 Actually Do

By Henry Patterson


There was a time when television sets were not comprised of much more than a tube encased in wood, fuses, wires, a scanner, some knobs, and a set of rabbit ears. Like most things in today's world, televisions are more complicated now. You may never want to be a television repair person, but if you have any interest in electronics, it can be instructive to learn about the primary boards, like the T-Con d50ud1, found in LCD tvs.

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.

The direct current will only move in one direction. This is what the circuit in LCD televisions uses. Depending on the model you have the power supply module and the inverter board may be combined. If you're not getting any power, or only intermittent power, the power supply board may be to blame.

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 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 will find the inverter board at the back along the television's edge. If you have any tv other than an LCD, there will be no inverter board. This board is on the tv in order to convert the low voltage direct current, that the switched mode power supplies, into high voltage alternate current. Backlights are lit up with this. Inverters boards are sometimes combined with power boards. If your inverter board goes bad, you may see a dim screen or a display that shuts down entirely.

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.
