Objective
The information provided in this document is designed to assist the technician in
determining the defective printed circuit board. The troubleshooting flow charts,
signal path charts and connector information should provide enough detail to the
technician for the accurate repair of the product. Alignment and adjustment
procedures are also included in this document.
The Block diagrams and the schematic drawings reference the model TH-
42PHD5, TH-42PX20U and TH-42PA20U but the technology is consistent with
any GPH5D and GP6D series Plasma display panels.
