4 Alignments and Adjustments
This section of the service manual explains how to use the DDC JIG to adjust the black, red, green, and blue
levels of the FPD when you replace the AD Board, and how to update the microprocessor when you
change the Panel or Lamp(s).

4-1 Required Equipment

The following equipment is necessary for adjusting the monitor:
• Oscilloscope with probe tool
• Computer with Windows 95 R , Windows 98 R , or Windows NT R.
• DDC Control JIG

4-2 Using the DDC Control JIG

After replacing the LCD Panel, Lamp(s), and / or AD Board, use the DDC Control JIG to complete your
service. Attach the DDC Control JIG to the flat panel display (FPD) as shown in the diagrams, below.

1-2 Servicing Precautions

WARNING: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.
Caution: Before servicing units covered by this service manual, read and follow the Safety Precautions
section of this manual.
Note: If unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the
safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions.

1-2-1 General Servicing Precautions

1. Always unplug the unit’s AC power cord from the 4. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC

1-3 Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD) Precautions

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly
called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-
effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor 6. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its
