CTV -68 1 Chapter 1 – Introduction Overview The AZ1L chassis is one of several designs for the 2010 model line of Sony Bravia® LCD televisions. Several models will be released incorporating this chassis.
Chapter 1 - Introdcution CTV -68 2 USB2.0 Side Input This feature was available in selected 2008 models and allowed the viewing of JPEG formatted pictures and playback of MP3 audio files. The media content has been expanded this year to allow playback of MPEG1 and MPEG2 format video content.
CTV -68 3 Chapter 2 – Overall Circuit Descriptions Overview The primary circuits contained in the AZ1L chassis consists of a main circuit board (designated as the BAL board), power supply (GD1 Or G2LE) which varies based on the size of the LCD display , and the LCD panel assembly .
Chapter 2 - Overall Circuit Description CTV -68 4 Power Supply KDL22EX308 The KDL22EX308 utilizes the GD1 power supply board. There are 3 distinct sections on the power supply: Standby Supply : Continuously operational as long as AC power is applied, the standby supply generates 3.

Chapter 3 - T roubleshooting CTV -68 16 Protection Shutdown Critical voltages and circuit operations are monitored by the CPU on the BAL board. If a fault is detected the unit will be forced to shut down by the CPU. The monitored circuit in which the fault occurred will cause the CPU to flash the standby LED in groups of repeating sequences.

CTV -68 24 Chapter 4 – Appendix TCON T roubleshooting Introduction Beginning in the fall of 2008, Sony announced the availability of limited TCON replacement boards to service LCD panels beginning with certain models going back to 2006. For many years technicians have been asking about the availability of these components.
Chapter 4 - Appendix CTV -68 25 Figure 4-1 illustrates a typical LCD panel and the associated video processing circuits as found in the W AX3 chassis. The various formats and resolutions of video signals are processed on the BU1 board. All video signals exit the video processor in the native resolution of the LCD panel.

Chapter 4 - Appendix CTV -68 27 Gate Drivers Referring to Figure 4-1, note the IC’s located along the side of the panel. These IC’s are mounted on a flexible cable(s) which are bonded to the LCD panel. Their function is to activate each row of pixels one at a time starting with the first line at the top.

Chapter 4 - Appendix CTV -68 29 Failures involving the LCD panel are usually displayed with the following symptoms: • Physical damage such as cracks in the panel, a single pixel or group of pixels that always on or off, or random sections of the panel which are completely dark.
Chapter 4 - Appendix CTV -68 30 Figure 4-3 illustrates 2 examples of a loss of control data to the drive IC’s. In the first example, an entire group of column drivers has lost the data stream for red. The second example involves the complete loss of drive data for all RGB information to the right side of the screen.
Chapter 4 - Appendix CTV -68 31 Examples of Actual TCON Failures The remaining illustrations show other TCON failures that have been encountered in the field. The idea is to get a grasp of the concept of TCON induced failures to avoid unnecessary parts replacement.

Chapter 4 - Appendix CTV -68 33 LCD Panel Failures Below are some photos of actual LCD panel failures. Note that most issues tend to be isolated to a certain area of the screen with the exception of failures of the source drivers. The source drivers can cause thin horizontal line issues and can also affect a large area of the screen.
