LCD Troubleshooting and Calibration Tech School: Applications
Today's LCD panels have greatly improved (and continue to improve) and are beginning to rival CRTs in most performance areas. In terms of size, weight, and power consumption LCD displays are far superior to their old CRT counterpart.
This comprehensive LCD Troubleshooting and Calibration hands-on program covers troubleshooting and calibration concepts and techniques for LCD display types.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Understand and apply safe servicing techniques
• Use test equipment to performance test and troubleshoot LCD monitors (SC3100, PSL60, VP401, LC103, CP5000U).
• Understand how to thoroughly performance test an LCD computer monitor
• Be familiar with switch mode power supply (SMPS) and LCD Inverter power supply operation and troubleshooting
• Relate SMPS and Inverter power supply block diagram test points to the equivalent schematic test point
• Understand multi-mode formats and circuit operation
• Understand analog (RGB) and digital signal formats and connectors (DVI)
• Explain the advantages and limitations of CRT vs. LCD displays
• Understand the theory and operation of fixed pixel displays, including LC panel operation, signal processing, and backlighting
• Perform an LCD backlight replacement
• Perform LCD video calibration, including chromaticity (color temperature), black level, white level and geometry
