FUNAI 32" COLOR LCD TELEVISION - LCD-A3206 - LCD-B3206 -  LCD-C3206 - LCD-D3206

  Always respect voltages. While some may not be dangerous in themselves, they can cause unexpected reactions that are best avoided. Before reaching into a powered TV set, it is best to test the high voltage insulation. It is easy to do, and is a good service precaution.

Hot Chassis Warning
a.
Some TV receiver chassis are electrically connected directly to one conductor of the AC power cord and maybe safety-serviced without an isolation transformer only if the AC power plug is inserted so that the chassis is connected to the ground side of the AC power source. To confirm that the AC power plug is inserted correctly, with an AC voltmeter, measure between the chassis and a known earth ground. If a voltage reading in excess of 1.0V is obtained, remove and reinsert the AC power plug in the opposite polarity and again measure the voltage potential between the chassis and a known ground.
b. Some TV receiver chassis normally have 85V AC(RMS) between chassis and earth ground regardless of the AC plug polarity. This chassis can be safety-serviced only with an isolation transformer inserted in the power line between the receiver and the AC power source, for both personnel and test equipment protection.
c. Some TV receiver chassis have a secondary ground system in addition to the main chassis ground. This secondary ground system is not isolated from the AC power line. The two ground systems are electrically separated by insulation material that must not be defeated or altered.

Disassembly Flowchart
This flowchart indicates the disassembly steps for the cabinet parts, and the CBA in order to gain access to item(s) to be serviced. When reassembling, follow the steps in reverse order. Bend, route and dress the cables as they were.
