check the parameters from the datasheet of this module and then reset them.

 If it is the LCD module with VBY1 signal, it may not correctly distinguish "General cable sequence",

"CSOT special cable sequence" and other cable sequences. According to the cable sequence of the

LCD module TCON board, it is necessary to determine whether the convert-board needs to be

connected. If the color bits is set incorrectly, there will be no display.

 If it is the LVDS signal input LCD module, the LVDS cable may be selected incorrectly. According to

the cable sequence of the LCD module TCON board, select the correct LVDS cable.

 If the cable is not connected correctly or damaged, check the connection or replace it.

 It should be noted that EXV2080 has no LCD backlight drive,When testing LCD modules. it is

necessary to provide additional backlight power. Turn on the backlight first.

Test panel convert-boards of other special cable sequence

There are also some special convert-boards for test LCD module, which are rare. These

convert-boards are not included in the standard configuration packing list. Please refer to appendix:

Judgment of Motherboard Cable sequence and selection of convert-board

The convert-boards of test motherboard

EXV2080 TV Motherboard and Panel Integrated Tester is equipped with 7 convert-boards. Among

them, the blue ones are used to test the TV motherboard, numbered B1、B2、B3、B4。

 B1——Double Cable 4K (VBY1) convert-board, and special Cable sequence VBY1 convert-board;

 B2——MINILVDS convert-board;

 B3——LVDS convert-board;

 B4——General Cable sequence 4K (VBY1) convert-board;

There is also a black convert-board numbered T2, which converts twisted pair and FFC to each

other.

VBY1 Cable sequence and connection with convert-board

There are two main cable sequences for V-by-One (VBY1) signal connection in the television

industry, One is only used by LCD module manufacturer CSOT optoelectronics, which is called CSOT

optoelectronics Special Cable Sequence. Another kind of Cable sequence is mostly used by LG,

INNOLUX, etc, here we call it General Cable Sequence or INNOLUX Cable Sequence for short. In

addition, there are a few manufacturers' special cable sequences for original imported models, such as

Samsung, Sony, Sharp, etc., which can be tested only when it is converted to general cable sequence

through special convert-board.

· 45 / 78
https://www.hklrf.com EXV2080

It must be noted that the general Cable sequence is the international standard of VBY1, so all

manufacturers will produce VBY1 LCD module or motherboard with General Cable sequence.

Connection of VBY1 general Cable sequence and CSOT Cable sequence

Figure 9-11 VBY1 general Cable sequence Figure 9-10 VBY1 CSOT special Cable sequence

As can be seen from the figure above, the differential signal cable of General Cable sequence is

located at 28 to 51 pins of the cable edge; the differential signal cable of CSOT sequence is located at 11

to 36 pins in the middle of the cable.

All VBY1 motherboards must be connected to EXV2080 through the B4 convert-board. When the

Cable sequence is not a general Cable Sequence, it must be converted through a suitable convert-board

and then connected with the B4 convert-board. As shown in the figure below, the B1 and B4

convert-boards must be used for CSOT sequence.

LVDS Cable sequence and connection with convert-board

LVDS Cable sequence is divided into two kinds, one is FHD, the other is HD. Basically, the HD

LVDS motherboard is 30 pin LCD Module Cable, while the FHD LVDS motherboard is 51 pin LCD Module

Cable. Most of the FHD LVDS motherboard differential cables are 12 or 10 pairs, and most of the HD

LVDS motherboard differential cables are 5 or 6 pairs. LVDS motherboard is connected with EXV2080

through convert-board B3.

Connection between HD LVDS Cable sequence and convert-board

P3 ~ P6 of convert-board B3 are four 30 HD LVDS cable sockets. Which cable socket to choose is

mainly determined by the position of power supply and differential signal cable. If the position of the

differential signal cable and power cable on the LCD module Cable is in Cable with the position of the

differential signal cable and power cable on the convert-board, it is correct.

The two twisted pair cable are differential signal cable. If the LCD module cable is FFC, or the twisted

pair cables CAN NOT be distinguished, it can be judged by the routing of the PCB on the motherboard or

TCON board. The two PCB wires that are close to each other are differential signal wires.

11. Test Notebook EDP LCD module

What is EDP LCD module

Unlike the different types of LCD modules used by TV sets, notebooks use LVDS and EDP LCD

modules.

With the popularization of 2K LCD module in notebook computer, the bandwidth limitation of LVDS

makes the LVDS LCD module for notebook computer less and less, and EDP LCD module has become

the mainstream.

EDP Embedded Display Port. the standard of EDP comes from Display Port (DP), but it is Different

From Display Port. In short,

1. DP interface: DP interface belongs to external interface, which can only be used for transmission

between display and driver board, not for transmission between chips.

2. EDP interface: EDP interface is an internal interface, which can be used for the transmission

between chips, or between display and driver board.

EXV2080 supports edp1.1 standard, and EDP version is downward compatible. Here we only

discuss how to test EDP LCD module with EXV2080.

EXV2080 can be used with EDP convert-board E1 (to be purchased separately) to realize the test of

notebook EDP LCD module.

Note: DP interface looks very similar to EDP interface in appearance, but DP is only used for large

display LCD module, DP LCD module is not used for notebook. When you encounter a large

LCD module, that is, a LCD module of more than 16 inches, do not use the EDP of EXV2080

to test.

Note: Due to the fact that EDP LCD module is mostly used in notebook computers, it is suggested to

use EXV2080 for EDP LCD module test on the premise that users should be familiar with the

maintenance of notebook computers and have a deeper understanding of notebook LCD

module.

Features of test EDP LCD module with exv2080

Compared with similar products on the market, EXV2080 test notebook EDP LCD module has the

following characteristics:

1. Built in 12V power supply and backlight control circuit, for the mainstream LED backlight EDP LCD

module, there is no need to add additional backlight power supply;

2. The built-in SMBUS control circuit can directly light up the EDP LCD module with SMBUS control

backlight;

3. The LCD module parameter setting of EDP is intuitive and visual, and the LCD module parameter

covers the current mainstream 8 resolutions. The LCD module parameters are directly set in the user

interface of the instrument without additional resistance and jumper;

4. It can directly test the mainstream 30 pin and 40 pin general EDP cable sequence LCD module,

without the need to change the cable through the convert-board or twisted cable;

Judge EDP Cable sequence

At present, the two most popular EDP Cable sequence are supported. If it is not clear whether the

Cable sequence of the tested LCD module matches the convert-board E1 during the test, the EDP Cable

sequence must be judged first, and then the test can be conducted after confirming the matching. We can

judge the EDP Cable sequence by the following methods:

1. To judge the Cable sequence of EDP LCD module, you can check the instruction manual of EDP LCD

module;

According to the LCD module model, accurately find the corresponding LCD module instructions,

check the pin description table of the interface of EDP LCD module, and compare whether the position of

the key pin is consistent with the convert-board E1.

2. Confirm the sequence by measuring the connections of several key pins on the interface with a

multimeter;

Use a multimeter to measure the short circuit relationship of the pins, and compare whether the

position of the key pins is consistent with the convert-board. For example: LCD_ VCC (3.3V), VBL (12V)

and GND. As shown in the figure below, it is obvious that the connection pin of the GND is the same

connection relationship as the GND of the cable sequence of the interface on the convert-board E1.

Appendix B how to distinguish 51 pin LVDS motherboard from VBY1

motherboard

LVDS and VBY1 signal motherboard have the same number of pins, so pay attention to distinguish

them. It is mainly judged by the number and position of the differential signal Cable, the number of power

pins and the coupling mode between the differential signal Cable and the main chip.

 Identification method 1: The LVDS interface is isolated from the main chip by resistance or connected

directly; the VBY1 interface is isolated from the main chip by capacitance (the capacitance or

resistance of some motherboards may be blocked by the chip heat sink, or placed on the back of the

motherboard, which should be noted before judging).

 Identification method 2: The differential cable of vby1 interface is generally 8 pairs, some 4 pairs. And

FHD LVDS is either 12 pairs or 10 pairs,the HD LVDS is generally 6 pairs.

 Identification method 3: The number of VLCD power pins of vby1 interface is more than 7. FHD

LVDS are 4 or 5.

Note that the same judgment method can also be used in the LCD module.

Appendix D test LETV 4K motherboard

Most of the tests of LETV 4K motherboards are the same as those of other 4K motherboards. A small

number of LETV 4K motherboards, such as: some software of LETV X3 /X4 motherboard is protected, so direct

test will not display.

If you encounter this kind of 4K motherboard, you can press the "left /Odd-Even " button for a long time, and

"special motherboard mode: LETV 4K" will be displayed in the lower right corner of the LCD module, as shown in

the figure below. Then after the motherboard is turned on, you can press the reset button to display it. Long press

the " left /Odd-Even " button again to exit the special motherboard test mode（ NOTE:TO enter the special

motherboard mode, you need to upgrade the sub core firmware of the test 4K motherboard to C04 or above,

otherwise you cannot enter the special motherboard mode. Insert the 4K convert-board B4 you can see the sub

core version of the current test 4K motherboard).

Appendix E Single clock mode when testing the FHD LVDS motherboard

What is a single clock FHD LVDS motherboard

The output LVDS signal of FHD LVDS Motherboard includes two groups of LVDS differential signals, one is

odd column display signal the other is even column display signal. Each group of LVDS signal must contain clock

signal and data signal.

The output of very few HD LVDS motherboards, data signals are complete, and parity data are available, but

the clock signal is only output a group, that is, less output a group of clock. This motherboard is a single clock

motherboard. At this time, EXV2080 will show no display according to the normal test motherboard method.

Similarly, this may happen when the TV motherboard software of HD LVDS is misbrushed into the HD LCD

module reference software. At this time, EXV2080 may display a black screen but can display the information

normally, or simply display the standby screen. you only need to adjust EXV2080 to single clock mode.
