Samsung LS19HAA LCD Monitor –SyncMaster – Power and Back-light inverter schematic

SMPS and Back-Light inverter circuit diagram – Samsung SyncMaster LS19HAA – 19 inch LCD monitor.
When the AD board is in DPMS state:
The IP has been designed so that it operates with a power consumption of less than 0.6W 
The Scaler consumes power up to 27mA
The power to the panel is switched off
The MCU consumes power up to 23mA.
=> The total current consumption to the DPMS is less then 60mA; and the total power consumption is 0.6W + 5V*60mA = 0.9W so that the total power consumption is less than 1W.
When the AD board is operating normally:
The maximum power consumption of the panel lamps is described below (It may vary depending on the panel manufacturer)
17" : 4*(7.5mA*650mVrms)=4*4.9=19.6W
19: : 4*(7.5mA*720mVrms)=4*5.4=21.6W
The power consumption of the Panel Control board is as follows: 5V*720mA=3.6W
The power consumption of the Scaler is as follows: 3.3V*245mA + 1.8V*300mA = 1.35W
The power consumption of the MCU is as follows: 5V*44mA =0.22W.
Inverter 
1. A conversion device that converts DC rated voltage/current to high ones necessary for the panel lamp.
2. DC/DC(Regulator): General term for DC to DC converting devices.  The IP board receives 5V and outputs 1.8 or 3.3V that is supplied to the scaler (SE56AWL).
3. Power MosFET: The IP board receives 5V and outputs a lower voltage in DPMS mode and supplies the whole 5V for the panel operating board in normal conditions. In that case, the switching of Power MosFET is controlled by Micom.
4. Scaler: Receives the digital TMDS and analog R,G,B signals and convert them to proper resolutions using up- or down- scaling that are transferred to the panel in the LDVS formats.
5. Crystal(Oscillator): Use one 24MHz oscillator externally to supply power to both MCU and Scaler at the same time.
6. MCU & EEPROM: I2C is a two-way serial bus of two lines that supports communications across the integrated circuits as well as between MCU, Scaler and EEPROM.  In particular, MCU and Scaler (SE56AWL) use the DDR direct bus for mutual communications, which is an effective, speedy system because it allows 4 additional address/data lines compared to the old serial systems.
7. Function Key: A certain keystroke generates a certain electrical potential, which is transferred into ADC input port of the MCU and then converted to a digital value by the A/D converter of the chip. The digital value (data) is a clue to
which key is entered. In practical, the voltage levels are set.
IP BOARD ( inverter ) PROTECTION Parts
BIZET INVERTER CONTROLER FAN7310 have 2-way of the PROTECTION MODE.
1. OVP[Over Voltage Protection] : If the Voltage of the series capacitors C10 & C15 is over the 2.0V, the Inverter latched-off.[See the Picture1]
2. OLP[Over Load Protection] : If the inverter output harness is opened(No-output current), the base of the Q1 turns on and change the C9 over 2V and then, the Inverter latched off.

Harman Kardon Sound Bar - SB 15 - SB230 – Schematic – How to program it with TV remote control

Harman Kardon SB 15/ SB 230 Soundbar with wireless subwoofer - Circuit Diagram – how to program the sound-bar to respond to TV Remote control.
How to Program the Soundbar to Respond to TV Remote
Can program the soundbar so it will respond to your TV remote’s Power, Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down and Source commands This lets you control your whole home theater system with a single remote Before beginning to program the soundbar, have your TV remote handy We recommend sitting down in front of the soundbar The steps will time-out, so read through the entire procedure before you begin.
To program the power command
* With the soundbar turned on, hold down the soundbar’s Power and Source Selector (SRC) buttons together until all the soundbar button indicators flash This enters the learning mode.
* Momentarily press the soundbar’s Power button It will turn amber.
* Aim the TV remote at the front of the soundbar from about 300mm-900mm (about 12-36 inches) away.
* Hold down the TV remote's Power button for one second, then release it Do this a total of four (4) times When the soundbar has learned the power command, its Power Indicator will turn blue, and the Surround Mode and Source Selector Indicators will flash blue.
[If the Power Indicator flashes amber, the procedure failed Repeat Steps 1 – 4]
SB15 CNTR Soundbar                           SB15 Subwoofer
Input Rating  DC 24V, 2 5–2 7A     Input rating: AC 230V, 50Hz, 100W
Amplifier Power 25 watts x 2         Amplifier Power 100 watts RMS  
To program the source, volume + and volume – commands
Follow Steps 1–4 as above, but in Steps 2 and 4, substitute the soundbar and TV remote’s Source Selector and Volume Up/Down buttons for the Power buttons.
To program the mute command
Follow Steps 1-4 as above, but in Step 2, hold down the soundbar's Power button for 2-3 seconds In step 4, substitute the TV remote's Mute button for its Power button.
To erase all remote programming
Hold down the soundbar's Surround Mode and Volume Up buttons at the same time for 2-3 seconds.
Circuit Diagram (Schematic)
If the SB 15/230 is manually put into Standby on the ON/OFF Button on the SB 15 unit itself, it can only be switched back ON by manually pressing the ON/OFF button again.
Auto Turn on
The SB 15/230 automatically enters Standby‐mode after approx. 15 minutes if no audio signal is detected.  This can also be forced by learning (for example) the TV set’s remote control “Off” code into the SB 15/230.
Due to Power saving regulations, the SB 15 does not “listen” to the Audio Inputs, unless it senses a remote signal first, which can be any kind of remote signal (it does not have to be a learned remote code ‐ turning ON the TV or sending any other infrared remote code will be enough). The remote signal will tell the SB 15/230 to start up automatically as soon as audio is detected on (first) the Digital or (second) the Analog audio Input. If no signal is detected by the Inputs, the SB 15 will go back into total Standby again after approx 15 minutes.
Problems
There is no sound coming from both the soundbar and the subwoofer
Check that the soundbar is on (the Power Indicator is illuminated blue)
> Check that the cable connecting the TV or other source component to the soundbar is properly connected at both ends
> Check that the soundbar’s Source Selector is set to the correct source (the Source Indicator illuminates white for Source 1 – analog, and illuminates blue for Source 2 – digital), and that the source is playing an audio signal > Check that the system is not muted (when the system is muted, the soundbar’s.  Power Indicator flashes blue) Momentarily press the Power button to un-mute the system.
> Check that the soundbar’s volume is not turned all the way down (the lowest setting of the Volume Down button will mute the system).
There is no sound coming from just the subwoofer
> Check that the Subwoofer Volume Control is not turned all the way down (fully counterclockwise)
> Check that the Wireless Code switches on the subwoofer and soundbar are both set to the same setting number • Move the subwoofer closer to the soundbar (The maximum wireless operation distance is 50 feet (15 3m).
