Understanding What Electronic Boards In LCD TVs, The T-Con D50ud1 For Instance, Really Do

By Henry Patterson


In the early days television sets were not made up of much more than a set of rabbit ears on top of a tube enclosed in wood with fuses, knobs, a scanner, and wires. Like everything else in the world today, television sets are a lot more complex. If the electronics involved is of interest to you, understanding the functions of the primary boards in your tv, like the timing control D50ud1, might help you figure out what's going wrong with it.

If you open up the back of your television set you will probably find the power supply board, or power supply module, on the right hand side of your unit as you are looking at it. It will be the largest and heaviest of all the boards on the back of the set. The purpose of this board is to convert the AC, or alternating current, supply, which can change directions, into DC, or 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 purpose of the T-con board is to control the circuit and TFT, or thin film transistor, driver. Indications that you have trouble with the T-con board will be vertical or horizontal lines. You might also see a double image, a white screen or no display.

Inverter boards are found along the edge of your television back. Unless you have an LCD television you will not have an inverter board. The purpose of this board is to convert low voltage direct current supplied by the switched mode power supply into high voltage alternate current. This is what lights up the backlights. Sometimes it's included in the power board. If you have a dim screen or the display shuts down, you have a problem with the inverter board.

The main board is also called the main module, the digital or logic board, or the motherboard. The video and audio inputs and outputs are attached to it. The main board converts signals from analog to digital. If you're having trouble with the sound or the color, it may be the main board.

The jackpack or audio receiving board is sometimes separated from the main board. Its function is to take the sound signal to the processor and on to the amplifier which is what drives the speakers on either side of the television. If you don't have sound, or a high pitched one, or channels that change randomly, you need to have the jackpack checked out.
