ONE POINT REPAIR GUIDE
4. VFD IS NOT DISPLAYED WHEN POWER ON THE SET
When power on the set, any icons or characters on VFD are not displayed.
4-1. VFD (VFD301)
4-1-1. Solution
Please check and replace VFD301 on FRONT board.
4-1-2. How to troubleshoot (Countermeasure)
1) Check if 39 V, FL+ and FL- are output from SMPS to VFD via the MAIN board.
2) Check if the IC501 outputs VFD_RST, VFD_CLK, VFD_DO, and VFD_STB to the FRONT board.
3) Check if the VFD grid current amplifier circuit on the FRONT board.
Check the drive signal to the transistor’s base.
If the control signals from VFD (DGND_2, VH, VDD) isn’t output, replace VFD with a new one.
