9 A friend of mine had a problem with his (a bit old) 24" HP monitor: the device |
|
10 was working properly, but only for a while (few minutes at most). |
|
11 |
|
12 Looked like a good candidate for a quick repair, problem being most probably |
|
13 bad caps are so. |
|
14 |
|
15 The first step was to find out how to disassemble the down thing, since these |
|
16 "modern" things are not designed to be serviced and have no screw, only plastic |
|
17 clips which are so easy to break. |
|
18 |
|
19 Whatever, I finally succeded in opening the box (with only one or 2 broken |
|
20 clips). |
|

|
22 Overview |
|
23 ======== |
|
24 |
|
25 Inside the beast, the usual stuff under the shields: |
|
26 |
|
27 - a PSU, |
|
28 - a main controller board, |
|
29 - an LCD driver board, and the monitor being a bit old, |
|
30 - a blacklight HV driver board. |
|
31 |

|
35 |
|
36 First thing, to make sure the problem comes from the PSU, I powered the monitor |
|
37 from my bench power supplies. I used one output of my HP E3648A to generate the |
|
38 19V rail that powers the backlight. It was a bit short (CC limited at 16V), but |
|
39 enough to power the backlight. The second output was used to produce the 12V, |
|
40 and the 5V was generated by my very old home made PSU. |
|

|
44 |
|
45 The monitor was working fine when powered from these PSUs, so the problem was, |
|
46 indeed, this Tatung PWB-1336-02 switching PSU: |

|
54 The design is nice and clean. Electrolytic caps however are not the best ones |
|
55 (mostly Lelong ones I think), which is not really a surprise in this kind of |
|
56 device. |
|
57 |
|
58 At first sight, nothing strike the eye, no leaky cap, no burnt resistor or |
|
59 PCB... |
|
60 |
|
61 Not a 10mn fix, in the end. |
|
62 |
|
63 The PSU generates 3 voltages: |
|
64 |
|
65 - 5V @2.7A |
|
66 - 12V @0.8A |
|
67 - 19V @3.2A |
|
68 |
|

|
70 Finding the problematic power rail |
|
71 ================================== |
|
72 |
|
73 There is a hard switch on the PSU, next to the IEC socket, and When the power |
|
74 is on, the 5V is hot, wether the monitor is on or in standby. |
|
75 |
|
76 When the display is powered on, the 2 other voltages are started. |
|
77 |
|
78 The pin 10 on the cable between the PSU and the main CPU board is dedicated |
|
79 to the "power saving" state. It must be high (at 5V, which is always present) |
|
80 to enable the 2 other voltages. |
|
81 |
|
82 Note that there are 2 other pins dedicated to power management (pin 11 and 12, |
|
83 marked as "On/Off" and "Vadj"). But these are directly routed to the backlight |
|
84 board and take no part in the PSU management. |
|
85 |
|
86 |
|
87 My first test has been to plug my cheap `electronic load |
|
88 <{filename}/ZPB30A1.rst>`_ on the 5V with the 2 other voltages stopped. |
|
89 |
|
90 And I could reliably sink 3A from there. So the problem must be on one of the 2 |
|
91 other rails. |
|
92 |
|
93 But I also could sink the max amperage from the 2 other power rails (1A from |
|
94 the 12V and 3.5A from the 19V)... |
|
95 |
|
96 Ok, so each power rail seems to work fine alone. |
|
97 |
|
98 But when I sink current from the 5V rail while the 2 other voltages are up, |
|
99 then the PSU fails after a short while. |
|
100 |
|
101 I've tried to probe a bit the switching curves using my Rigol DS1054, but the |
|
102 PSU being "hot" (around 400V), and having no isolation transformer, I could not |
|
103 probe the signals correctly (using 2 probe and displaying the A-B curve, which |
|
104 is some kind of a joke on the Rigol, since you cannot hide the A and B curves: |
|
105 the curve substraction is purely computed from displayed curve. When I found |
|
106 how useless this was on the Rigol, I had not enough energy to extract my old |
|
107 `Tek 2445A <{filename}/TeK2445.rst>`_ from under the pile of test equipment |
|
108 stowed in the closet...) |
|
109 |
|
110 |
|
111 A glimpse at schematics |
|
112 ----------------------- |
|
113 |
|
114 At this point, I needed to try to understand a bit the schematic. I wasn't even |
|
115 sure the problem came from this side of the PSU, it could also be a problem in |
|
116 the "isolated" part (bad caps, bad optocoupler, bad voltage reference...). I |
|
117 had checked the main caps, and they seemed to be ok (not quality japanese |
|
118 brands, but still the correct value and low ESR). |
|
119 |
|
120 |
|
121 On the live part, before the transformers, there are 2 chips : |
|
122 |
|
123 - a TNY279PN_ dedicated to the 5V rail |
|
124 - a CM6807_ for the 19V rail |
|
125 |
|
126 The 12V is produced from the 19V rail by a small DC to DC converter (FP6185_). |
|
127 |
|
128 In fact, this PSU design is almost just the 2 application circuits (found in |
|
129 their respective datasheets) merged together. |
|
130 |
|
131 The noticable points are: |
|
132 |
|
133 - The TNY279PN DC input can be come from either the input bridge rectifiers |
|
134 (via a diode and a thermistor), or, when powered, by the DC produced by the |
|
135 CM6807 via the PFC circuit. So when the CM6807 is down (when the monitor is |
|
136 in standby), the DC input for the TNY279 is around 318V, but when the monitor |
|
137 is on, the CM6807's PFC circuit rise this voltage to almost 400V. |
|
138 |
|
139 - The bias winding, normally used to power the TNY279 (to allow a very low |
|
140 no-load power consumption, datasheet says <50mw) also powers the CM6807. |
|
141 |
|
142 A funny side effect of this design is that the CM6807 cannot be started if |
|
143 there is no load on the 5V rail: in this case, the auxiliary voltage of the |
|
144 transformer managed by the TNY279 is not enough to start the CM6807. |
|
145 |
|
146 |
|
147 The application circuits are as follow: |
|
148 |
|

|

|
153 :alt: Example application circuit for the CM6807 controller (from the `datasheet <CM6807>`_) |
|
154 |
|
155 In this PSU, the input DC of the TNY279 (the point just before R5 in the app |
|
156 circuit) in connected just behind the PFC circuit, i.e. just after the D2 diode |
|
157 of the CM6807 app circuit. |
|
158 |
|
159 In order for the PSU to generate the 5V rails even when the CM6807 is off, |
|
160 there is derivated DC input path, from the bridge rectifier to the input DC |
|
161 rail, consisting in a diode (D922 on the PCB) followed by a thermistor (R915): |
|
162 |
|
163 .. image:: {filename}images/ZR24W/input_DC.jpeg |
|
164 :alt: Input DC showing both paths (yellow: via the PFC, red: the alternate |
|
165 path when power saving is on). |
|
166 |
|
167 |
|
168 Finally, the culprit |
|
169 -------------------- |
|
170 |
|
171 While testing the PSU powering the CM6807 from an external source, I notices |
|
172 another strange behaviour: the TNY279 enters a failure as soon as I sink |
|
173 current from the 5V rail, but it remains faulty as long as I let the CM6807, |
|
174 thus the PFC running, and the input DC at 400V (instead of 318V when the PFC is |
|
175 not activated).. |
|
176 |
|
177 At this point, I though there is not way the problem can come from the 5V |
|
178 regulation loop, neither from the CM6807 circuit, so the only culprit left |
|
179 would be either the TNY279PN or a component close to it, a cap (especially the |
|
180 BP/M one), a diode or a resistor. So I tested these parts (again, to be fair), |
|
181 and I replaced the cap connected to the BP/M pin. With no improvement, the only |
|
182 remaining faulty part must be the TNY279PN. |
|
183 |
|
184 So I decided to buy a couple of them from RS, and 2 days later I replaced it, |
|
185 which did fix the PSU. |
|
186 |
|
187 What a tricky half-failing part! |
