TRANSISTORIZED SMPS POWER SUPPLY TROUBLESHOOTING – PART2

Now, let’s come to the COLD side [secondary side] of the SMPS power supply.  Please refer the previous post here for more details.  
The secondary side has the output voltages to main board components.
There are 6 voltage outputs:
+14VDC > to audio output IC.
+5VDC > to CPU side of the syscon chroma IC
An other +5VDC > to tuner stage
+B110VDC > to line output transformer [LOT] section.
+27VDC > to vertical scan output IC
+8VDC > to syscon-chroma IC, pins 17 & 49 of IC8873
Let’s discuss all these supply voltages in detail.
+B110VDC:  this voltage should be there all the time when the set is powered ON; provided there is no fault to primary [HOT] side of the SMPS.
+27VDC:  this voltage too will be there all the time when the set is powered ON; provided there is no fault to primary {HOT] side of the SMPS
+14VDC: this voltage too will be there, when the set is powered ON.
Then comes +5VDC [CPU]:  this voltage is the output from a voltage regulator IC; 78L05.  It too will be, and should be there, as the input to this regulator IC will be present when the set is powered ON.  Refer to the circuit diagram.  Input voltage to this regulator IC comes from pin-14 of the SMPS transformer [after rectification].
The +8VDC 7 +5VDC< {the voltage goes to pin36}are switched type, means these tow voltages will be absent when the set it powered On.  These voltages will be present only after we press either the power button on the remote control handset or at the front pane control of the TV set.  Here more description is needed I thinks.
Take the case of these two voltages only.
Refer the circuit diagram.
Consider all these 3 voltages [+5V CPU, +5VDC, +8VDC]
The source of all these voltages are generated by pin-14 of the SMPS transformer, and then rectified by (D604-FR104).  The rectified voltage is then fed to input of the regulator IC 67L05, which in turn outputs +5VDC CPU.  It will be present all the time, because this voltage is needed to CPU section circuit inside the syscon-chroma IC.  Without this voltage, the CPU section circuit within the IC wont work and there by the set too will not response to any external or remote commands.  In short, the set will be dead.  This voltage is not switched type.  Means it will always be present.  The rectified voltage is also fed to collector of a NPN transistor [V507-C8080] and the collector of another NPN transistor [V508-C8050]; switches the +5VDC.  Refer the circuit diagram and try to understand what happens when we Switch ON the set first, after it is plugged to AC mains, and then we press the power button; either at the remote control, or at the front panel of the TV set.
When we first Switch ON on the set:
+B110VDC is OK - present
+27VDC is OK – present
+5VDC (CPU) is OK – present.
+14VDC is OK – present.
But; there will be no 8VDC & 5VDC. Both these voltages are by-passed by transistors V607 & V508 respectively.
Why?  Here comes the point.
Note the circuit with NPN transistor V507-C8080.
Its base terminal is pulled down to 8.7VDC by using a Zener diode [VD8].  By no means the voltage at this pont will go up, than the break-down voltage of this zener diode; ie 8.7V.
But, from where this voltage comes from?
There is 3.3KOms resistor connected to the cathode of this Zener diode; from the 27VDC voltage output. 
Now what happens?
When we press Power  button either on the remote control or at the front panel  control of the set; to Power On; there should be 8VDC to the base terminals of transistor V507 .  But, it won’t be there now.
Why?
Refer the circuit diagram once again.
  The base of this transistor is connected to [Power On] pin-64 of the syscon IC.  The voltage level of this pin will be hight [=H]; when we switch On the set.  Just see, this high voltage is fed to the base of a NPN transistor [Q210-2SC1815].  The collector voltage to this transistor is fed from (+5V CPU), via a serial resistor CR292, and then a LED (power indicator) and an other resistor R291.
As we know, when the base bias of an NPN transistor is at high [H] level, it will conduct and its collector voltage will drop considerably due to load.  Here the emitter of this transistor is grounded.  So, when its base voltage is high [H], its collector voltage sill be low.
  In fact, when we switch On the set by its AC main Power Switch, the system control section voltages to the IC will be present, the voltage at pin number 64 of IC8873 will be high[H], and the voltage at the collector of Q210 will be low, and in turn the base voltage of +8V regulator transistor too will be low.  So this transistor won’t conduct, and there will be no +8V.
Let it be.
  Now come over to the base of V508; the 5VDC controller transistor C8050.
Refer the circuit diagram again.
 Its collector terminal get voltage from the cathode of D604 itself; through resistors R572 & R571.  The base of this transistor is pulled down to 5V by using a 5V6 zener diode, and the base bias comes from the emitter of V507 [+8VDC].
It is clear that the base bias voltage to this transistor will be present only after the +8VDC has been bypassed by V507.  In short, there will be no +5VDc without +8VDC.
When +8VDC is present, +5VDC too will be there, and should be.
In short; the Main Switching Point to these tow voltages are of pin-64 of the system control IC.
  When the voltage level of this pin is high [H], there will be no +8VDC & +5VDC.  When we press the power button, the voltage at pin-64 of the IC will go low[L], the collector terminal voltage of Q210 will go up; and the base voltage of V507 too.
  Now the transistor V507 will conduct (bypass) +8VDC.  The base bias of V508 will go up and it too will start to bypass the +5VDc.
This is the main switching process takes place, when we press the Power button on the remote control.
