INTRODUCATION:

Motherboard is an electronics device which is a printed circuit board (PCB), used in the laptop and computer. This is also called main board or system board. Besides the computer motherboard also used in robot and many other electronic devices. This device combines the various components and put them at their places and also provides common power supply to all the components. A computer is design by microprocessor, main memory and components of motherboard and also with it , some other device and controls are connected with motherboard for controlling the sound , video  display & storage  in it .

Chipset is the main part of motherboard. Imagine of specification and capacity of motherboard is performed with the help of chip. There are controller in the motherboard for Centre Processing Unit (CPU) , Memory Storage , Serial Port and Keyboard and Disk Drive  . Motherboard which have minimum one socket or one slot and have one or more microprocessor they have high priority. And with addition they have one clock generator, one chipset, and slot for expansion card and power supply connectors.

POWER SOURCE CONTROLLER OF MOTHER BOARD

1.      Components of Circuit :

Main functions of the Sources at Motherboard Controller are the power switch , providing voltage stability for CPU , Chipset, RAM , Video  Cards and other components .

Those subject which are needed to understand by us , they are following  :

à         Voltage of ATX power supply

à         Circuit stable voltage power supplies for CPU VRAM .

à         Stable voltage circuit for RAM.

2.      ATX Power Voltage :

There are two parts in ATX power supply –standby and main sources (main power).

à         When it is connect in 220V AC power sources than standby work immediately and provides to south chip set and Sio IC .(the main source does not work until the power switched is not pressed the i.e. power source does not obtained)

 When you pressed switch =>effect on start up circuit in the south chip set =>ON.P is obtained from given chipset . When On power command is received to SiO then ON power is given to green wire power connector for continue making on power, when P.ON = (=0V) =. Main source main power will work.

à         Direct voltage supply of componrnts without voltage regulator :

Some components of motherboard are obtained direct power supply without voltage regulator through ATX power supply . These components are:

·         Clock generator IC (Clock Pulse) received supply from direct source of 3.3V.

·         Direct voltage of 3.3 v, 5v and 5v STB are given to south chop set.

·         3.3v and 5v STB power supply is given to Sio IC from direct sources. Supply is received to all these parts directly from ATX power supply and when we are used  lower quality ATX power supply then direct source supply component , given to the motherboard can be damaged .

·         Circuit voltage :

Some components like CPU , RAM , video cards , and chipset generally works at low voltage so generally , extra supplies of low voltage 1.3V to 2.5V are given , downing the power levels from Source voltage 3.3V, 5V or 12V

·         VRAM  (Voltage Regulator Module ) circuit :

·         VRAM is regulator circuit for CPU resources. There are functions in this circuit for changing the voltage from 12V to 1.5V. For providing power supply to CPU electronics current is increased according to CPU.

·         3.3v power supply directly given to the clock generator IC , south chipset , Bios and Sio IC And less power supply from this are provided through  regulator circuit to 1.5v chipset (Intel) 3v or chipset VIA .

·         Obtain 1.5 v supply voltage source from 12v through VRAM circuit , given to the CPU .

·         Given power supply of 5v for chipset and PCI extension card are feed for RAM power through supply voltage regulator circuit.

à         Description of process control circuit :

·         When the plug is in then the voltage supply is obtained to STANDBY operation , south bridge and SIO IC before the circuit for the 5V STB .

·         When you press the switch from south chipset then open sources P.ON command is obtained.

This command is given to IC. And after this controlling the main source main power activities and for power supply at motherboard P.ON is given from Sio IC .

·         Operating voltage output of main sources are following :

3.3v supply directly feed to south chip set and accept for PCI extension.

For down the voltage for 1.5v power supply 12v supply is given to the VRAM voltage regulator circuit for CPU .

·         If this is operate properly then this is send the VRAM _GD signal to the south chip set that V-CORE is correctly obtaining to CPU . This is signal protection circuit . When this signal is chip set CPU understand the this signal into from of ready chip set activities and provide the rest signal .

DETAIL OF MOTHERBOARD MOSFET

Generally we see the MOSFET on the motherboard, which is used very much. They are used in power supply control circuit for CPU, RAM and chipset .

STRUCTURE OF MOSFET :

MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor)

MOSFET are two types and have three pins which are as follow:

·         Base pin (drain)-D

·         Source pin (source) –S

·         Gate pin –(gate)-g

Top View of Mosfet

à         Identification of N-Channel , P-Channel MOSFET Digital Multimeter :

·           First of all , put the multimeter in 2k or diode range .

·         Putting the red Probe at Drain & Black Probe at Source , multimeter is showing 240 Ω to 960 Ω resistance then this  MOSFET is P-Channel MOSFET

·         Putting the Black Probe at Drain , Red Probe at Source ,Multimeter is showing 240 Ω to 960 Ω resistance then this MOSFET is N-Channel MOSFET .

 

 

à         .Testing of MOSFET

·         If GATE to Drain ,GATE to Source ,multimeter is not showing continuity then this MOSFET is OK and if continuity is showing then this MOSFET is short .

·         If the multimeter is showing the continuity both side drain to source and source to drain , then MOSFET is short .

·         If the multimeter is not showing the continuity both side drain to source and source to drain , than MOSFET is open .

·         If the multimeter is showing the continuity in one side drain to source ,source to drain and other side countinuty is not showing then this MOSFET is ok .

            NOTE: Before testing of MOSFET , making short the drain , source and gate and discharge them.

Difference between the transistor and mosfets :

MOSFET

TRANSISTOR

1. Gate operating voltage of mosfets is 1.3V.

1.Base operating voltage of transistor is .3v

2.Operating ng temperature of  mosfets is       -55 to 120 degree Celsius

2.Operating temperature of transistor 0 to 34 degree Celsius .

3.IC made by mosfets is called CMOS.

3.IC made by transistor is called TTL IC.

4.Positive supply of CMOS is called VDD .

4.Positive supply of TTL IC is called VCC.

5. Negative supply of CMOS IC is called VCC.

5. Negative supply of TTL IC is called GND.

 

à         Reverse characteristics MOSFETS (which are used in motherboard) :

·         Source pin is insulated from gate pin .

·         Gate pin is insulated from drain pin .

·         Drain pin from sources pin (when D level is positive) , voltage depend on gate pin .

·         When voltage increased from gate to source pin (when   drain is positive and source is negative ) then mosfets becomes ON.

·         When Gate pin voltage are equal or less than Source voltage then MOSFET becomes off. => In this condition MOSFETS is ok

1.       METHOD OF MOSFET TESTING ON MOTHERBOARD :

à         Measure the quality control of power MOSFET :

·         For testing of quality control you have to need to remove the gate (G) and source (S) pin from circuit then we test the following :

       Condition of Broken MOSFET are following :

·         Measure between G&S ,then will be lower resistance =>power detectors or shorts  -GS

·         Measure between G&D there will be low impedance => power detectors or shorts –GD

·         After loading the positive for G (for power)which reverse power is checked , they not lead =>

-When the VRAM circuit is correct for CPU and CPU is ready for working ,then signals are out from the VRAM circuit for south chipset then VRAM is working properly which is known as VRAM_GD (VRAM GOOD).

-This VRAM_GD signal is used as a condition for reset the south chipset system . If VRAM circuit does not working properly or there is same problems in it then VRAM_GD signal dos not obtain to south chipset and thus signal is not reset for boot .

5. TESTING METHODS OF VRAM CIRCUIT – (TESTING FOR CPU SUPPLY ):

When the voltage level is test for CPU then the following points to be noted given below :

-CPU vCore voltage can be check without connection the CPU at CPU socket in the Pentium3 motherboard

-For testing of CPU supply we need to plug CPU in CPU socket in  Pentium4 motherboard , after this you can check the voltage. if  there is no CPU in VRAM circuit in main pen 4 then the voltage is by default is 0v .

-We need to test v core voltage before connecting the CPU socket for testing the CPU voltage and prevent from the shorts of VRM circuit mosfets because the increased voltage can damaged the CPU .

 

6.POSITION OF TESTING THE V-CORE VOLTAGE

 -          Please measure the v-core voltage (voltage for CPU) which is test between the starting by the DC Coli , you can be measure on coils , if  the supply voltage id approximate 1.5v DC then circuit is  correct but if the supply voltage is 0v or less than 1v than VRAM DC is damaged .

 

For testing of CPU voltage level tests the positive on the top of the capacitor or inductor .

When measure the supply voltage sockets must be placed between the main boards Pentium 4 CPU for CPU and output voltage must be measure the starting (inductor must be common from 2 to 4 in output size.)

 

 

7. TESTING STE3PS OF VRAM CIRCUIT OF PENTIUM 4 MOTHERBOARD V-CORE :

Steps1:  Measure the v-core voltage for 0v when the CPU is not attached , If this is not install already , when the v-core voltage CPU VRAM has been shorted then the greater then 12v voltage is obtain on the mosfets .

Steps2 : Install the CPU , switch ON the power supply and measure the v-core voltage on pin of coil.

-If the voltage between the 1.5v than circuit is correct .

-If there is no voltage or less than 1v, output voltage is low than VRAM circuit is damaged .

à         Follow these steps and check after this follow steps:

Step1: (On the source and measure the voltage without CPU )

-Supply the power to the motherboard , supply the 12v regulation for on the v-core voltage ,and measure voltage on the top of the top of the inductor circuit of VRAM voltage stabilizer .

-Use the test card for checking the status of power source  

-On the main switch for running the main switch (PWR pin shorts) . if the 3.3v,5v, and 12v lamp is on on  the ATX light of test card than card i.e. main board is not shorts .

-Measure the 0v on pin of inductor . (CPU VRAM output voltage circuit defaults =due to 0v).

à         =>If the CPU voltage is not obtaining and 5v to 10v voltage                                                    are obtaining the top of the inductor than the mosfets circuit is   shorts . Test the mosfets with carefully.

à         STEP2 :  (on the power source and measure the volt on CPU in socket , which are established on the main board.).

-Install the CPU in socket on the motherboard . (be sure that CPU correct .)

-Power the motherboard ; supply the standard 10v DC v-core voltage to voltage regulation

Measure the voltage on the top of inductor circuit of the VRAM voltage stabilizer .

-          Use the main test card for testing of status of power sources .

-          - On the main switch for running the main switch (PWR shorts legs ) . And measure the 3.3v, the 1.5v on VRM circuit ofr the CPU voltage .

-          If that measure we obtain the 0v (V core voltage 0 than VRAM circuit is not active .

 

à         You need the following methods for correcting the circuit :

           - Dry the vacuum oscillation pulse PWM IC and PHASE .

      - Check that there is any shorting in the MOSFET .

      - Change the PWM Pulse oscillation IC.

                         CHIPSET POWER SUPPLY

-          North chipset uses the 4VCC , in which two for south chipset and two common voltage for CPU ,RAM

-          5 lines south chipset voltage are used with 1.5V and 1.8V south chipset voltage . Among these three Voltage  STB5 , 5V and 3.3V are directly received from the ATX source.

2.IDENTIFICATION OF VOLTAGE STABLIZER CIRCUIT FOR MOTHERBOARD CHIPSET :

The selection of right voltage stabilizer circuit  for motherboard chipset becomes complex due to following reasons –

-          Chipset in pins cannot be measure by using the any pin clearance .

-          - There are Printed Insulated Circuit backside of the chipset is painted by the paint .

-          -In the life time of many motherboards uses the many voltage stabilizer circuit .

-          Many different voltages are used in different types of chipset.

à         YOU can identify based on the following characteristics specification :

-For two chipsets voltage stabilizer circuit generally placed area between the both chipset .

-When they work than supply pin at 1.5v and 1.8 v .

- 8pin IC used for control the MOSFET circuit .

- Some new motherboard are used at the [power source of CPU . So these are the coils circuits. .

Measure the supply pleased between the chipset of power mosfets which is 1.5v or 1.8v , which is power voltage stabilizer for chipset .

3. VOLTAGE ST^ABLIZE CIRCUIT DESIGN BY THE OSCILLATION DRIVER SIGNAL POWER IC MOSFETS :

 - Output voltage can be changed by changing the value of resistance by using the feedback circuit which is imposed on the need of distributions .

·         Operation principle of circuit :

When supply is given in it then the voltage stabilizer IC , generate the control voltage for G pin of MOSFETS . This  generated voltage obtain on gate pin of MOSFET than MOSFETS provide the 1.5v voltage for supply load, this is for supply chipset , In the electrical circuit , Voltage received at source pin of power MOSFETS are given to the feedback pin of IC for controlling through the resistance R106 and R107 . If there is increasing in the output voltage of any reason then the value of voltage at feedback pin in increases . So the IC will provide the control signal as automatic for decreasing the voltage ,by which output voltage are decreased . When output voltage are decrease then control process works its opposite .

In this circuit , there are adjustable voltage from 1 V to 3 V , when we change the value of resistance R106 , R107 for distributing application , which is changing the feedback voltage of FB pin of the IC .

 

2.Voltage Stabilizer Circuit Designing by using the Amplifier IC Power MOSFETS Control Algorithm:

-          Pin no. 4 is VCC source pin

-          Pin no . 8 of IC is used for ON the DC voltage power MOSFETS .

·         Principle of voltage :

-                         - Voltage are fixed of Pin no .10 of IC by using the Zener diodes , reduction voltage are obtain at th pin no .9 , then voltage are obtain  at the pin no . 8 of IC .So the output voltage of power mosfets is low .

*Suppose there is increasing in the load current consumption then output voltage are decreasing . After this , feedback voltage will decrease at pin no . 9 and the principal of algorithm , result will be be received in the increasing flow for increasing in the power load .

Voltage stabilizer circuits by connecting two circuit:

-          For increasing the quality of output voltage, the circuit can be design by connecting the two circuit . As shown in the circuit .With this type of circuit , one power voltage will decrease the voltage through the DS of  stabilizer circuit , by which it decrease the power , which should be feel by it .

If we want to change the output voltage than we can change the value of resistance R173and R174.

5.      Voltage Stabilizer Circuit design by using the voltage  IC , LC filters and drivers :

-          This is principal circuit of voltage stabilizer circuit , which is operating similar to VRAM circuit (voltage stability  circuit for CPU ) . This circuit generally used in high quality motherboard circuit . from this motherboards obtain the more life .

Voltage stabilizer circuit design by the feedback voltage stabilizer IC

-          It is similar to power MOSFET IC and driver IC , which is capable of feedback pressure LM-1117

-          The principal operation of this IC is very simple . The circuit diagram of this IC is given below ; you are making the constant voltage .

-          In the output voltage , as you want for  changing like the same , you can generally change the value of R2.

But line is not increased , this circuit only secondary voltage like 1.8v voltage for chipset used only for control .

 

                                              

·         General question and answer about the chipset voltage stabilizer circuit :

Q.1What will be happen if the voltage stabilizer circuit of motherboard is break ?

Ans :- if voltage stabilizer does not working for for the chipset (i.e . . chipset not getting the 1.5v or 1.8 v supply, then chipset will not work , by which motherboard will not boot , no information will be obtain by the beep on the screen , but at this time pop open source also working from which fan is moving .(Due to 5v STB supply by the open circuit voltage ).

-When you check this you will see that the main card test test RST lamp is continue on or off. (it is the result of when all the carefully are loosed ).

-If the is mosfes being shorted =>Then this provided the 3.3v or 5v both voltage ,chipset which is warm and damaged after some the operating .

Q.2 How you will decided that who are the power mosfets voltage stabilizer of chipset power

Ans :-Pin of chipset , which gives the power to the chipset . They are elevated so this can not be measure . But this can be done based on various features .

-          Voltage stabilizer circuit generally placed between the areas of two IC for the chipset .

-          3.3v voltage is obtained at pin D of power mosfets .

-          1.5v (with Intel ) DC or 3VDC (for VIA chipset ) voltage are obtained at pin S of power mosfets of voltage stabilizer circuits.

Q3. What is the reson of damaged thj=e south chipset?

Ans:- The reason of damaged the south chipset is as following :

-Chipset –due to short of 5v, 3.3v or line source.

-When system is not reset from our signal .

·         Details of shorts chipset are as follow:

If the chipsets is warming , before the power switch becomes ON or after the ON –Chipset is vary hot (heating produces by toching the hand )

=> This is describing that south chipset is shorts and At this time you need to change the suth chipset .

When the good chipsets work than the heats of this chipset is 40*C.

*signal does reset the south chipsets .

- When the south chipset does not emit the reset signal than motherboard is dead .Loss of reset signal is done by the test card . . When the reset signal is not obtain than north chipset does not work and also other components does not work . Mother is not boot and display will not be obtained.

Reset signal system can be tested by the test card main . If the reset signal is  lost at the main than the system chipset north , CPU and other  components can not work . So the motherboard will not boot ,information will not reached there  that what are happening or neither screen will be obtained .

After some time to operates system will display the reset signal (PCI RST #).

Damaging of reset (Like –No Light or Bright Light Reset but No Short) produces due to the followings of south chipset , for example :

-          Not obtaining the 1.5v or 1.5v power supply for the chipset (Broken Circuit Stabilizer )

-          ATX power failure for mail chipsets , from which PG voltage are loss (signal sources incident ATX ).

-          Problem in VRAM circuit (CPU voltage ) or CPU signal is not obtaining the VRAM-GD south chipset

-          Pines of south chipset are broken or dry sold .

Reason of damaging the chipsets:

-Direct use of chipset voltage STB5v, 5v,3.3v, when we use the low quality ATX this is directly affect the chipsets or failing of ATX power. Thus the reason of failing of south chipsets is mainly ATX source .

-South chipset driver components like extension card on PCI slots drive on the IDE slots , USB ports . So if the sounds cards or devices , like hard disk drive failure with the line the signal sources from shorting than the south chipset  is damaged .

- Reset signal have two meaning in a digital circuits.

-Reset signal to start the operation .    – Reset signal to again start the operation.

Example : When runner was waiting for running and referee give the signal for running . Hear referee  work as  a reset signal for runner , similar to digital signal IC .

2.Condition for processing operating the IC :

Addition  of computer digital signal processing is known as IC number in other devices .To operate these IC following condition are required .

-Required voltage level is VCC .

-Required Clock pulse 

-Required reset signal .

When the reset signal  is obtained than the IC start operates .

-          When the Required voltage and clock is obtained to IC than IC ready to operate , but when the reset signal is obtained than IC start operates .

-          Restet signal is an electrical signal which is alive only 0.5 seconds.

3.Reset generator circuits on motherboard:

-System Reset signal on motherboard is generated by the south chipset , but to make this signal there must be south chipset factors as shown below .

-          South chipset work well itself (In condition required like VCC.)

-          The pin of CLEAR CMOS jumper must not be blank . CLER CMOS jumper set on normal position .

-           South chipset must be obtained the signal from PWR_OK logic signal circuits .(This signal only obtained when the ATX power voltage stabilizer circuits operate correctly on motherboard).

Conclusion 

-          ATX power supply gives the PG (power good ) signal for good status . This is obtained good source status through the ray wire on motherboard .

-          This source status signal pass through the logic circuits for generate PWR_OK signal of south chipsets .

-          PWR_OK signal is a signal which is good for status sources . When the signal is obtained to south chipset than this is generate reset signal for system .

-          Soth chipset need various supply like 5V, 3.3V ,1.5V, 1.8V . when from these voltage no one voltage than the chipset does not work.

-          For operating the chipset there is needed of around the clock frequency .

-          If the CLEAR CMOS jumper is a out than the south chipsets does not make the system resets signal .

ð  System reset signal is a signal which is gives the reset signal to the components of motherboards , north chipset , ROM BIOS < PCI SLOTS CARD , Sio-IC ,IDE ,connectors b, disk drive, video cards , lane controller IC etc .

4.Reset signal generator circuits system of motherboard:

- Reset source circuits of motherboards is shown in fig .PWR_OK or P.GOOD signal is generated by the status of ATX power logic , Logic status of power supply of chipset and AGP card , Logic circuit .

-When the output signal of logic circuits receive to PWR_OK or P.GOOD south chipset then it is generate the chipset reset signal for booting the motherboard system components .

      -This system reset signal is obtained to north chipsets and other components .

-When the North chipset reset signal will obtained then for north chipset CPU ,CPU_RST signal will generate for launching the CPU activity , by which CPU will work similar active components

NOTES : Logic circuit are generally internally design in the south chipset  and Sio-IC . Some motherboards use the IC specific logic ; these are known as Glue Logic.

·         If the fan of ATX power supply are normally on => than you can say that there is no shorting on motherboards.

-V-core voltage is 0V until the CPU is not connected on the motherboards. So VRAM circuits do not work .( In some motherboards VRAM circuits work without CPU ) .

-Connect the CPU in CPU sockets. (When the CPU is connected than this start to make the power) .

-Check the clear CMOS that the CMOS jump0er is placed at normal position or not . Generally connected CMOS clear jumper , off the south chipsets .

- On the power source and check the “RST” light on the motherboard card test .

If the RST LED  is glow and after some time immediately off than the resets signal is corrects .

-          If the bright light is not obtaining than the retest signal (RST) is not obtaining .

If the light is continue ON (Not disable ) in the condition the retest signal is not obtained .

                                                            BIOS

 Bios are a basic input/output system, which is enabling all the hardware placed on the motherboard at the time of power on . As the power on BIOS program configuration are loaded in memory and test all the hardware, which is boot all the hardware during the boot of operating system . This BIOS programs are store in ROM IC and this IC is mounted on the main motherboard or sockets . This IC mainly PLCC 32 pin IC . BIOS programs are made by different companies in each computer , but general BIOS are AMI , AWARD , PHOENIX companies  . These companies  sell the BIOS source code to different – different credit .

BIOS gives the direction to the operating system that how you boot the computer , and where all hardware are loaded , what should be loaded , where the memory and CPU are placed and so more . A good comparison from of BIOS work as hypothalamus work for human .

Hypothalamus regularly maintains our temperature ., blood pressure , metabolism of fats , carbohydrates and leave of suger . Without this life is impossible . Like that without BIOS , computer is like a “paper wet” i.e this is workless .

Main Operation of this department is providing the POST signal to the CPU , during the power on .

From which CPU take out the working mode to all the hardware according to this signal . BIOS program are placed according to I/O controller on motherboard , that I/O controller supports this software . BIOS programs are made by different companies and this BIOS program are placed according to I/O controller on made by AMI,AWARD,PHONIX companies and BIOS software in original motherboard are made by this company . Like in Intel BIOS software are made by Intel . This bios software is stored in ROM IC , and then ROM IC is connected to motherboard and then run this software by CPU . ROM IC work as storage  devices . This IC has the different-different capacity , like as 512MB , 1MB and 2MB……….. ..etc . manufacture is different –different of this IC like Win bond , Intel, Dell ,AT , MAX , TML …etc.

BIOS program are store in PROM, EPROM , EEPROM , Flash ROM . We known them BIOS chip .Its other name is – firmware hub, CMOS, ROM. We known them BIOS chip . Is other name is – firmware hub , COMS , ROM  Chip , Flash ROM…Etc. if we say in general from than its name is BIOS chip is the famous name , which is known by all..

CMOS=(complementary mental-oxide semiconductor)

       This is a semiconductor technique, which is use to generate low power and low temperature. It is work on the semiconductor which have two junction technique are used.

ROM IC is classified in following :

(1)              PROM

(2)              EPROM

(3)              EEPORM

(4)              Flash ROM .

(5)              Firmware

  1.P-ROM (Programmable read only memory) :  This type of IC is known as once time read only memory . Once a write then we cannot erase program ,and this IC work as a IC fuse and antifuse . When program is done then byte the lock , which is known as circuits fuse and ROM  is work as antifuse Operating voltage required for this IC is 12 to 21 V . This IC is identifying by its numbers

2. EPROM (Erasable Programmable read only memory) :  In This type of IC 10 times erase and program . For erased of this type IC, we remove the sticker from IC and then below the sticker a glass window is made of ultraviolent tube , which is wavelength 235nM , on this tube light and keep 8 to 10 hours after that data is erased from IC. After erasing the data we place sticker again . After that programming is done by the universal programmable IC . Number of this IC is identifying by given table below and identification of this IC is performed by the Glass Window .

3. EPROM (Electric Erasable Programmable read only memory): This type of IC can be erased programmed 100 times. Erased and programmed time of this IC is 2 to 3 minute . This IC can be indentify by number .

4. FLASH ROM : This type of IC can be programmed and erased for life time . Programming and erased time of this IC is 2 to 3 seconds . This IC is Programmed and erased from a clock . In this IC data can be stored 120o temperature for 100 years .

5. Firmware :  This IC also in memory chip category . This work as ROM when electric is fail . This work as hardware and software . In Motherboard of inlet which uses the Flash ROM known as Firmware Hub .

 

 

Faults finding and testing of BIOS departments :

This department is checked when the reset signal are continue obtaining when the power supply on but display on motherboard , then we check the following types .

1. Fistly check the 3.3V at VDD of BIOS pin . If the 3.3V supply is not obtaining then check for open the VRAM/SMPS.

2. If the positive voltage is obtaining at the VDD pin of IC then check the clock signal and rest signal on the reset and clock pin of IC . If the reset and clock signal are not obtaining then check the clock department or CPU departments.

3. If the reset and clock signal are obtaining then check the data on the data  pin IC DQ0 and DQ . If data are not obtaining at data pin then store BIOS file is damaged inside the IC . Program again in this .

4. If the time of programming, program fail message obtaining then ROM is damaged .

NOTE:  if the new ROM IC is placed then access time must be common and Blank IC programmed by the programmer fist and placed them on the motherboard.

LAPTOP

INTRODUCATION:

                Laptop computer is small, mobile personal computer. If we understand its literal meaning then it is so called because of it can be use at the top of our lap . So laptop computers are that computer that can be use even we put on our lap.

A laptop computer is also known as notebook computer. Generally its weight ranges from 1 to 3 kilograms. Followings are kind of notebook computer and its related category :-

·         Size is less than A4 size paper and weight is approximately 1 kilogram are known as sub-notebook or sub-notebook computer .

·         Notebook type computers having weight approximately 5 kilogram are known as DESKTOP notebooks.

·         Those kind of notebook computers which much powerful and can be as useful as desktop computers , are known as computers used in place of desktop computers .

·         Computer having size less than notebook computer but greater than palmtop computers are known as PDA, (personal digital assistance) .

Hence, Laptop computers are small in size, use with battery , light weighted and it is ideal for those kind of person who need to take computers from one place to another place . Like business related person who mostly do journey or university student who can use it easily in their bedroom , library , lecture hall or café . With one DVD player , laptop computers can also  be use as portable entertainment system  .

   Laptop are generally used with battery but it can also be used as an adapter which uses mains electricity, charges battery also. Laptops are generally used with battery but it can also be used as an adapter which uses mains electricity , charges battery also . Laptops are generally able to do that works which are done by desktops .Through they are more costly than desktop but less power full . They are completely portable , use less power and cause fewer noises than desktops .

Parts used in a signal laptop are same as that of laptop    and do same works as desktops , but its parts are design in such a way that they uses less power . Generally laptop uses liquid crystal display (LCD) as a display device and for memory it uses SO-DIM (small outline dim) module which are small in size in comparison with DIM used in desktop . For input to the laptop it uses one keyboard and a mouse as a pointing device . A same kind of mouse and a keyboard can also plug to laptops as peripheral device.

 

Difference between desktop and laptop

 Generally desktop computers are come in vertical chassis , which is known as tower and it used at floor below the desk . A monitor ,a keyboard , a mouse and speakers are  distinctively connected with tower .

Different from desktop computer ,laptop computer has inbuilt all the accessories like keyboard , mouse , speaker etc but can also be attached as a peripheral device . These accessories have likely same cost in both the laptop and desktop computer .

 

Big cases of a desktop computer have a motherboard , video card , hard disk , and many other components are attached . In this case monitor keyboard and other peripheral devices are attached by either wire or wireless connection . This computer  case is May b vertical or horizontal ; this has sufficient space to connect card , cables and other circulations.

 A laptop is light weighted and small in size as compared with a desktop . Is display screen is attached by one part of laptop . Keyboard and touchpad are also part of laptop  . Keyboard and touchpad are also a part of laptop . Laptop has not more space for  air circulation as compared to the desktop . All other components are attached in laptop end to end , so that its width is less than a desktop

.

Aon the basis of design and portability of a laptop , components are attached as

·         They are attached on the basis of fixed size .

·         On the basis of less power consumption .

·         Components will produce less heat as compared to desktop .

Components attached to laptop on the basis of above description are costlier than a desktop And hence increases the price of a laptop.

 History of Laptop

Before the use of a laptop there are various thoughts emerges on the size of laptop . Fist of all , in start of 1970 mainly a Xerox park named computer by the book ‘alien ki Dayan ‘ was popular OSBORNE -1 was first laptop which introduce for the business purpose in 1981 . This computer works on CP/M operating system . This computer is more big in size and heavy as compared with present laptop , which uses a CRT monitor . Firstly, by this computer, data can be transported one  place to other as data can be transported one place to other as business propose. In  1976 through Xerox note taker “Xerox perk” named ten copies of computers are manufactures , which can be transported from one place to other like monitor etc . Size of Osborn computer is similar to a sewing machine and to secure it from vibration it can be transported with the help of plane to other . This Osborn computer can not be operated with the help of battery. It requires man’s power to operate . In  1983 first IBM compatible portable computer is manufactured to the market . This computer also works similar as first similar shape of IBM PC .

In 1982 there is a trend of GRID compass 1101 named computer , which is designed by bill merged in 1979 , is the first real laptop computer . In this Laptop computer first time attached Keyboard and flat screen with the laptop internally and its display is of 320 x 200 pixels plasma display . In it 384 K bubble memory is used . This laptop is not IBM compatible and its used only for some special specific purpose . Mostly use of this computer in the space shuttle , sending in the year of 1980 though the US military . After this , this computer also made “ tendy “  named laptop . At that time many other popular laptops were PC500(in 1986) , gavalin (1984) etc . Gavalin was the first totally computer coming in the category of laptop computer in the world. In this computer in first time used the touch pad as pointing device . LCD display is used in the both , sharp and Gavalin computers and these both computers are capable of joining optional printer with then . Both of them are partially IBM compatible computers. And used their own operating system.

Earlier most selling closyre , cyotronic -85 laptop computers was born in 1983 . This computer get slow speed of selling but other companies started manufacturing after taking licenses . According to this design tendy corporation and NEC polyvity M-10 and NEC PC 8201 named computers are lunched in market. Radio Shack Company lunched same design by name TRS80 and model -100 in the market . All these computers are capable of working on AA – batteries . In its internal program has basic internally, text editor and terminal program was manufactured by Microsoft , which was written by bill gates . In this computer8 x 40 character LCD screen is used. Due to attached the Modem internally this computer was known as highly portable communication terminal. This laptop was more popular in between the journalist because of its features like portability , long life battery , lower price , and more reliability . Its weight is less than 2 kilogram and its size was 30x21.5 x 4.5 centimeters . In it minimum 8 KB and maximum 24 KB memory was used with 3 MHZ processor .

Firstly in 1986 IBM compatible profession computers are used . In this category , Toshiba T1000 and Toshiba T1200 lunched in the market in 1987 .  Due to less in the weight and smaller in size Toshiba Machines are easily transported from one place to another . Its operating system is stored in ROM . These are floppy based DOS machines in which led acid batteries are used . In these computers at present feature of resume is included which means computer can be paused in between any work . There is no need for reset in each time as in earlier computer does .

In 1988 computer designed by caliv syncliater called Cambridge Z – 88 was the first computer of this category . This computer is A4 size and it is capable of working of basic spread sheet , word processing , communication program on stand batteries . This computer was first real from of presently present laptops computers . In this category includes TRS-80, 100 etc . model was also generate , which are far generation of PDA’s used presently .

Till the end of 1980 laptop computers are become popular between professional persons . NEC ultra light comes middle of 1989 in the market and it was the first notebook computer of the world , in which hard dis drive instead of floppy disk . It weight is about 2kg and 2 MB ROM drive was used . COMPAQ LET category was the first notebook computer comes with the standard drives , which is lunched in the end of 1989 in the market . In this computer first time used the hard disk drive with standard resolution screen .

Macintosh manufactured first apple computer was designed in 1989 , in which externally connecting LCD screen was used . In this Mac portable computer active matrix was used with long life battery backup , but it is very big in the size  and due to heavy it is not more useful in the running market . Next computers of Apple power book category lunched in the market in the year of 1991.. device like track ball are combined implicitly .

This year IBM has lunched think –pad series in the market and in this category first time along with 256 color display Ethernet card for networking and real touch pad is also consists. As the technique is developing, price of laptop is decreased and popularity and its use is increased . In these development years laptop design is changed in such a manner that its importance is now similar to the desktop computers.

    The changes are following amongst all:

Composite battery technique:

 Under this technique heavy led acid batteries are converted into Nickle metal hydrate (NI-MH) batteries and Lithium ion or Lithium polymer battery technique .

Power Savings Processors

 In 1991 only 80286 processors was used in laptops because 80389 processors are using excessive power consumption . For low power consumption in the processor of Laptop category 80389 SX processor was designed , by which faster speed could get in 386in comparison of 286 . After this all the processors used in laptop are designed according to the requirement of techniques used in laptops .

 Power Saving Processors :

 In 1991only 80286 processors was used in laptops because 80386 processors are using excessive power consumption . For low power consumption in the processors used in laptops are designed according to the requirement of techniques used in laptops .

Developed liquid crystal display design

   This technique is used mostly in the active matrix display and more color capacity screen . Earlier laptop screens are in passive matrix which is black and  white  or gray scale from . This LCD is slow in speed displaying pictures and along with it shows heavy shades pictures . Few laptops are using sharp monochrome screen as plasma display but they consumes too much power . Because of technical development size of display , Sharpness , more display resolution etc features sre gathered in today’s structure .

Development hard disk technique

 Only floppy disk drive is used in Earlier Laptops . As there is low capacity , thin and more resistance to jerks low power hard disk is avaible , manufacture of laptops stated using these to store their data and to carry data from one place to another .

Developed Inter Connectivity

  IBM PC compatible laptops are used to carry outside home and plays important role as in internal modem and serial/parallel ports along with ether networking will used from 1988. In this categories in 1999 on  the basis of USB PCMCIA and WIFI laptops are using peripherals same as like desktops .

     Structure of laptop :

Structure of laptop is done on the basis of following points:

Microprocessor

 Ton control computer microprocessor or CPU works with operating system . This is necessary part of brain to the computer. Microprocessor have internal instruction set which is stored in memory and when it needed to work can access through the memory . Microprocessor can find instructions from key board and other devices like mouse , touch pad, track ball , track stick according to our choice . This can store and receive data through various storage devices – hard drive , floppy drive , zip drive  CD/DVD drive etc . It displays on screen of monitor (LCD display , Cathode Ray monitor ) . This can send data through various input/output port to printer , modems , networks and wireless networks . This microprocessor given the through the AC power and Battery .

CPU of laptop generates less heat is comparison to CPU to desktop . A CPU of laptop can use different techniques of cooling , which are as flows :-

-          To run CPU in low voltage and slow speed :-   It is run on low voltage and clock speed . By this generated heat will be less and less power consumption but the speed of processor is reduced . When there is power plug – in of laptop then it is mostly work on a high voltage and clock speed & when these are used on battery then it is work on lower setting  .

-          Attach the Microprocessor on the motherboard without using the pins :  It is mounted on the motherboard without using the pins . In desktop PC’s , pins and sockets occupies more space . Some motherboard processors are attached to motherboard without using sockets . In the others micro FCBGA (flip clip ball grid assay)is used , where balls are used , where balls are used in place of pins . Space is utilized with this design. But in this situation processor can not br removed or changed for up gradation .

-          Sleep or slow down mode :  In it there is slip or a slow down mode . When computer is not in use or there is no need for processor to run in fast speed then computer and operation system work together to make the slow speed of CPU .

In few laptops desktop CPU’s are used which is set to run on lower clock speed , whereas it makes improvement in work capacity, this laptop works better but reduces  the battery life .

To reduce heat from CPU in laptops we use small heat sinks, heat pipes . In few higher laptop models this heat is reduced with the help of coolant which is kept in channels through the pipes . Mostly laptop CPU’s are built on the side of main unit , so that heat easily removes through fans and does not toches other parts and do not warm them .

Memory

A RAM whether it is connected inside the desktop PC or in the notebook computer , plays an important role for receives data or instructions from the program of hard disk and gives to the CPU . How much this chip will perform , that CPU gives  better result according to its performance . By using this , speed of CPU as locomotive stream train because speed of bullet train .

There are four types of RAM in notebook computers:

1.       SDRAM (synchronous dynamic RAM)

2.       DDR SD RAM (double data rate SD RAM)

3.       DDR2 SD RAM

4.       DDR3 SD RAM

This type of RAM is not used as in comparison of DDR SD RAM . At present time DDR SD RAM is used as a standard desfults RAM . it is also available in DDR RAM DDR2 SD RAM from. DDR2 (double data rate 2) memory is next generation type of memory which makes processing and sis capable of 2 cycle per rate to send data to CPU , so that the speed of processing and capacity will be increased . DDR2 memory is used with advanced note book models like centrino etc . in comparison with DDR RAM bandwidth if DDR2 SD RAM is increased up to 60% .

In all types of computers memory is mainly in good condition . Earlier time laptops consist of minimum 16 MB memory , bit today memory is extend from 512 MB to2 GB . At present time maximum limit of memory in computers is up to 4 GB . But in some cheap laptops this maximum capacity is up to 1 GB only. A slow capacity processor can be used by increasing memory size .Few laptops are using cache memory within CPU or near CPU , to increase the speed of data exchange between them . In few laptops big buses are used in processor mother board or memory to increase speed . Memory modules are of small size used in laptops so that the size of laptops can be kept small .

At present mostly  notebooks are using maximum limit of RAM up to 2GB but in some cheap models maximum limit is 1 GB . A laptop can decrease memory by decreasing few functions , these functions are from slow processors . Few laptops have cache memory in CPU which transfers data modules are used .

Storage

 A laptop can use two types of storage media- non removable storage media and removable storage media. If CPU in computers is brain of PC then hard drive will act as a heart of PC . It does pumping of data for the remaining part of system and make PC to storage data for a long period 0f time . Hard disk is an  important component of every computer . Hard disk while rotating records data in form  of magnetic pulse from plate’s greater the speed of rotation of hard disk drive , greater  the speed of transfer and receiving data . In mobile market main aim is of power consumption . Slow in speed of rotation of disk will increase battery life but it will decrease work capacity . Hard disk speed is calculated in resolution per minute (rpm)when we play game in notebook computer then we require high speed hard disk . Hard drive speed is normally 4200 rpm,5400rpm and 7200 rpm . For new devices storage capacity is increased every year bit the size is remain balanced (2.5 inches) in comparison . Biggest signal note book is of 120 GB amongst all . And minimum it is avaible of up to 6 GB. In laptop machines , RAID (redundant array of independent disk) configuration uses two hard disks also used to which gives maximum work capacity and back up facility . In advanced laptops (like second generation Centrino  models 0 also uses one serial ATA (SATA) hard disk interface . This connection is like that in which industry SATA hard disk is moving and IDE (EIDE) adders are exchange laptop hard disk is small in comparison on comparison to desktop hard disk . In many laptops modular design is used in which many drive kits can be used in the same place .

These drives comes in three different names –

 -Hot swappable :  When drive is exchanged then computer can stay .

Warm swappable: When drive is changed computer can stay but related bus (the way , which drive use to send data to CPU) becomes inactive .

-Cold swappable : during swapping computer should be off .

 

Removable storage

CD/DVD

 Today a CD burner/DVD-ROM competitive drive is used in every priced laptop as a standard unit. This can only happened in old models where CD-Rom is not fixed in the notebook . Because of this USB flash drive and integrated floppy disk drives popularity becomes down .But this is normally available in from of internal and external USB option .Maximum mid –to-high end laptops are using DVD players , so that we can use DVD and CD .

Media card readers

 In many laptops built in media cards are available , which is used in various uses like –image is found with the help of camera in notebook . This can support secure digital (SD) memory stick, multimedia card , smart media and micro drive etc.

External hard disks

  For a big removable and transportable storage requirement a right way is external hard disk. . You can connect PC to USB ,   fire-wire or one micro hard disk or PC card hard disk (like Toshiba manufactured).

Digital Signal Graphics Processing (DSP)

 A digital signal graphics processing is also a microprocessor, which handles necessary calculation for 3-D graphics , which is made by motherboard or made by laptop special design of small graphic  card in DSP . Manufacture of DSP are ATI mobility , v vidia , SIS, INTEL companies Laptop shares memory between CPU and DSP so that to reduce size and power consumption .

Display

In world of laptop computers it is display window and is known as primary interface . At present all features of laptops are received on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) , based on Thin Film Transistor (TFT), which gives more advantage than cathode ray tube (CRT) like no rough text is received and no flickering is received etc. It means that it can be help to reduces the eye strain. In LCD each pixel is made independently . It means the these can be generate more sharp text in comparison of CRT , but when you want to display the graphics , then there can be problem due to high contrast text at low resolution becomes very difficult . This is also means that in CRT , graphics & text can be mixed and execute very sharply .

Maximum range of screen size is from 7 inches to 17 inches in laptops. At present time 15 inches is common in laptops , which is quite  similar to 15.4 inches wide screen . TFT LCD display , CCFL tube is used for generating the display in Laptop screen. This display can be of black and white (16 grey scale) or color (5536 colors) passive matrix , key active , reflexive or backlit . Active matrix display provides sharper images on the screen and easy to read and backlit is better for low level lighting situations .

 

Sound

 Chip used in laptop computers for sound is of normal quality . Speakers , used in the laptop for sound is also of small in size . This is the reason that quality of sound in laptops computer are not considered as important but as the time is passing slowly- slowly in comparison to old laptops sound quality is regularly increasing day by day . Intel company in Centrino platform computers under high definition audio DTS , THX and DOLBY technique has made 8 channels 192 KHz frequency 32 bit sound quality in laptops . But because of less space in laptops sound card and high quality big speaker can not be used , so high quality sound is not possible . For receiving  Gaming and high quality sound , external sound controllers are used , which are connected with laptop through USB and fire wire port .

Use interface

In Laptop computers user interface is also divided into two parts-Input and Output.

Input

 Like in any other computers , user is also needs of input for interchanging the information in the laptop . Main base of Input in the laptop computers is also the keyboard as in the desktop , but this keyboard is not a separate device it is inbuilt in the laptops .In many laptops computers , mouse can be connected externally through the USB or PS/2 connector . Where as in many laptops have touch pad or track point is made in place of mouse with keyboard . These touch pads are of different sizes but the main principal of working is same . There are two layers of material in touch pad from which one layer is response for working the horizontal movement and second layer is  response for working the vertical movement . For this work different techniques are used like-wire sensor grid , semi conductive gel , electrodes etc . In all these techniques used finger movement on track pad is translated as mouse movement . Buttons can be clicked and documents can be clicked by rotations .A normal option is of track point device usd in place of Touch pad . These are made firstly on the IBM Laptops . These track points are made by load  cells and placed on G, B and H keys of keyboard . Negative charge system is used for providing the real facility for cursor movement of using the track pointer , By using this system track point advantage becomes easier to use similar like a mouse. Track point’s acts as pressure of finger and convert it into direction by sensing and gives it to cursor movement, as a result by which in comparison to touch pad point gives the faster response .

Output

There is a need to connect the external output devices to Laptop/Notebook computers. In ancient Laptop computers PS/2 and Serial Legacy ports is used for this work . But at present its use is obsolete. Because today to connect the keyboard and  mouse USB 2.0 and fire wire  connection is connected. This Fire wire connection is capable of connecting the peripheral devices like camera on 400 MB PS. In every laptops 3 USB 2.0 ports are found but in past there are only 2 USB 101 ports are found in the Laptops . USB 2.0 ports are capable of working on 480nMBPS data transfer speed . One VGA port is also connected for connecting a monitor externally with the notebook computers. To increase its work capacity new hardware’s are connected in the laptops by using PC cards and PCI slots . With the help of PC cards , connecting the cards for using the sound card & extra ports . New Series of PC cards of small in size & fast speed areknown as express cards in the present time . In 2004 PCMCIA (personal computer memory card international association) establishes standards are  used in industry which results at present PC cards are smaller in size and are used in equal from .

   The way user treats computer without  e-mail and internet surfing useless , in the same way it is very essential there is to be need of network communication in the laptop computer . Four methods are used for connecting the computer with network :

Wired

 At present all the laptops are  available with 56 Kbps modem (RJ-11) and 10/100 MBPS Ethernet (RJ-45) . Some professional laptop computers are used with 10/100/1000 GB Ethernet for special use .

 Infrared

  At present few laptop computers are also supports the infrared port . Today this infrared port is used for professional and engineering purpose . Its one normal use is to connect the mobile phone with Laptop Computers .

Blue-tooth

On the base of this technique , different types of other devices like : Mobile phone , Printer , handset & PDAs are connected on the small size wireless networking in the Laptop.

WI-FI

  At present times WI-FI technique is using wireless networking technology is increasing at a faster growth . On this technique at particular fixed public access point with wireless network we can connect laptops and computer . Normally WI-FI modules consists of 802.11 A and G standards .

Docking Station

 Today many professionals are used the laptop increasingly . By the use of this they can make their office portable but small screen and small key board makes it un-comfortable to use .

For solving this problem many people carry traditional keyboard, mouse and monitors with Laptop computer for long distance work . For this work we use docking station of laptop as shown in figure .           .

 Port Replicators

A port replicator is such type of device , connecting with the Laptop computers by which some connections are available for connectivity of desktop can be get in a Laptop , by which a user can use the standard devices , used in the desktop computer on her Laptop . A port replicators is shown is figure.

   Power supply

Laptop and Desktop both the computers are work on the electricity . In both the computers a small battery is used for running the real time clock & CMOS RAM . Due to portable in the Laptop ,it is run by connecting the other batteries . These batteries are charged with Mains AC with the help of AC Adaptor . These batteries are used as backup power in the Laptop & these are mainly of three types:-

 

Nickle-Cadmium(Ni-CAD)

  This is the first type of battery used in the Laptops. This type of battery is used in the old type of Laptop Computers . But in the few laptop computers today it is also using . After full charging it can be used up to 2 hours. This reduces time according to the memory effect . Due to the gas bubbles coming in the available cells reduce the charging period , by which total backup time period of battery is reduces. It is vary essential to discharge the battery totally at the time of each cell charge for solving this problem. These types of battery have danger of explosion in case of over charging.

Nickle Metal Hydride (NiMH)

 Medium series of Lithium-ion Batteries & Ni-CD is known as Ni-MH battery . Life time of these batteries are vary small similar like the Ni-Cd batteries . These batteries are also effected with the memory effect. This memory effect is less in the Ni-MH batteries in comparison of Ni-CD batteries .

Li-ion battery

Li-ion battery are used as an standard in new laptops and computers . They are less in weight and works for a long period. They are not affected by memory effect and can be randomly charged . Also they are not having over heat and over charge problem . These are vary thin in comparison to other battery which is used to give support in small laptops. Li-ion battery can be charged up to 35000 to 4500 times in its life . Many laptops sets 5 hour of Li-ion battery back up but this calculation is also based on computer battery. Mostly battery consumption is done by hard disk drive , any other disk drive , LCD display in many laptops models battery consumption can be reduced by power management software to increase the life of battery . Also when battery becomes low then power consumption can be reduced.

Different uses of laptop

Laptop is complete computer which can perform all the work equally as a desktop can do. For example you can do the programming  on it , word processing , spread sheet , data base , accounting and multimedia presentation  can be mead on it . In reality many people are using laptop computer as a signal machine in their offices .

Laptop portability provides portability features to do as many works , which can not be done by desktop computers . For example you can write a sales proposal during a flight . Article and business projection can be made Or like the same other works can be produce during the bus or train travelling . We can categorize uses of laptop on following manner .

·         Education

Laptop can be used to solve many problems of both students and teachers in the collages and university . For the teachers Laptop is very useful in many fields

·         Projection

In a collage where combined lecture are given in one classroom , then many professors are this work by using laptop with the help of audio visual equipments to present slides and lecture notes .In today’s advancing technology laptops are also used in middle and high school teachers during the classes .

·         Note taking

Students can use laptops computers to make notes during classes and lectures. Normally this technique is used in collage rather than in schools.

  For this work special software known as hearing interpreter is used in the Laptops. in other way if any students have injury in his hand can use this  software to download noted of lecture instead of writing .

·         Laboratory

Experiments done in the laboratory by students of science at both school and college level can be stored in laptops so that data can be carried to any field as . These laptops can be associate with different probes and can be used to calculate temperature and humidity . Environmental temperature can also be calculated by keeping it in that presence . Instead of laptop scientific calculator and PDA etc are also used for this type of work .

·         Other uses

In other uses of laptop computers are mostly used of business works and for entertainment purpose:

·         Entertainment

Normally CD ROM and DVD are attached to every laptop so that it can be use for listen music and watch movies from the CD or DVD. Imagine that you are traveling to a long distance by train. During the journey you can listen to your favorite song with favorite CD and also can do your work with it or if you are traveling by a plane the instead of movie in the plane you can see your favorite movie at your laptop.

·         Law-enforcement

Police cars are having laptops on so that of any incident occurs then it can be used to write reports and thus reduces the chances of forgetting the incident and saved time can be uses for more patrolling . And also we can connect wireless connection to the police headquarter so that to record criminal record can be searched , registration of vehicle , outstanding warrants can be seen so that urgently actions can be taken in response of any condition .

·         Space-science:

Because of portability of laptops space scientists can travel with it easy and can store related information with the help of telescope . In these telescopes CCD cameras can be used to record images and can be seen afterward when needed .

·         Navigation:

When boat is traversing in ocean then we need accuracy to find the position where we are standing ? In a small boat there is a limitation of space. At such type of boats no charter room and tables are available . At this type of place of laptop computers are using GPS(global positioning system) device with the help of right software. This software id installed in laptop does not consume more space.

·         Business

Many people are saying that laptop computers have made revolutions on business field. Seller during traveling through internet can send any information , make orders , with the help of laptop computers in any fair can collect all the information with multimedia projection . And also laptop can be used in many other fields of business.

CHAPTER-3

LAPTOP ADAPTOR SECTION

    In laptop computer 19v, 3.42 ampere adapter is used. This adapter is SM transformer base adapter . Block Diagram of this section is give below.

   220V supply, received from AC Socket, is given to the Breeze rectifier through the Fuse(F1), NTC, Coil(L2), Load Resistance, (R1A1, R1B) 1W Frequency Controller Capacitor & Choke Coil. The 300v D.C supply obtained from positive and negative point of rectifier, is filter & store through capacitor C1(64µf400V) and given to the primary winding (A) of SM transformer & floating negative supply is given to the source of mosfet K1358 by the resistance R13(68Ω 1W). The Drain of MOSFET is joined to the B point of primary winding. Balancing Circuit is made at the primary winding of SM transformer through D1, L4, ZD1, ZD2. Switching signal is given at the Gate of MOSFET from UC3843 oscillator IC. Starting Positive supply is given is to this IC at pin no. 7 from the main AC the resistance (R2A, R2B, R2C, R2D,  R2F, R2P) and the negative supply is given from bridge rectifier. Because of it the signals are oscillate from I.C & received at pin no 7. Pin no. 6 is joined to the gate of MOSFET. As the positive signal reaches at the gate of MOSFET it starts negative switching in primary winding. Thus it produces EMF in the primary winding, which is transfer into secondary and feedback winding. The supply received at feedback winding is given by (R10 120w) ,(R10) 180w and positive supply is given to  UC3843 I.C, and current sense signal are given to pin no.3 of IC by resistance R3, R4, R5, R13, by which gate drive could be set by sensing the switching  current. Oscillator section, made internally in the IC is controlled at pin no.4 by C5, R5. Reference volt received at pin no. 8 of IC is given to Q2 IC 3.

 

The AC supply obtained from secondary coil of SM transformer is converted into DC supply by D1, D2 common cathode diode. This supply is given to output socket by coil after storing and filtering by capacitor 330MF/25V. For keeping the output supply in the load 22K x4, 1.5K x4, Q501(2X) NPN transfer is used. The ammeter of transistor Q501 is grounded and collector is connected to the load through a resistance and the base of the transistor is connected to the output controller IC HB00113/9603 Delta HIC. 

For controlling and sensing the output current Delta HIC I.C, P721 (IC2), P721 (IC3), OPTO coupler Q505 are used. Negative supply obtained from SM transformer is given to pin no. 9 of the controller I.C. There is a shunt which is controller I.C. There is a shunt which is connected at the terminals of pin no 8 and pin no. 9 of I.C. because of it the supply obtained at pin no. 9 is now obtains at pin no. 9 is now obtains at pin no. 8. Now the negative supply obtained from pin no. 8 is given to output socket so that this I.C. senses the current from pin no.8 and 9 and out the signals from pin no. 1, which are given to pin no. 2 (cathode) of (IC2) OPTO coupler. Positive supply is given pin no. 1(Anode) by 1 KW, by which LED becomes ON and spread the light at the base of transistor. This transistor becomes ON with the light & flow the negative supply from pin no. 3 to pin no. 4. Pin no. 4 is connected to pin no. 1 (capacitor) of oscillator I.C. UC3843 thus this I.C increases the oscillate signals according to negative trigger. When the output volts become high then volts obtained at the base of Q505(2X) transistor by the ZD 501 ZENER diode. This transistor comes in on state because of high and supplies a negative flow from ammeter to collector, thus the I.C. 3 (P721) OPTO coupler becomes ON and make the transistor QA(2X) in the ON position. This flow the negative from ammeter to collector and provide the negative supply to pin no. 1 of IC by diode. Regular negative supply is obtained at pin no. 1. Oscillator section of IC make shut down. Keep the transistor QA continuously ON, NPN transistor QB (2T) is used, so that adaptor becomes shutdown.

 

ADAPTOR TESTING AND FAULT FINDING

We check this section at that time when the laptop computer is not running in AC mode & Power becomes ON but working properly in the battery mode than first of all check the 19V supply at output socket of the adaptor. If we are not getting 19V supply hear then we will check adaptor in the following ways:-  

1.       First of all check the +300V DC supply at the positive and negative terminals of CR1(D35B60). If it is not getting the DC supply then check 220V AC supply at rectifier’s AC point . If we are not getting the AC supply at AC point then check F1(fuse 1), NTC, L2(coil) for open.

2.       If fuse is opening continuously then remove it and join a bulb of 220V/100W in the series. If the bulb is glowing full on switching power ON then check Breeze rectifier C1 (68MF/400V) capacitor K1358 & MOSFET for short.

3.      If the bulb becomes ON once & OFF again then disconnect the bulb from the circuit & connect the Fuse & check the 300V supply at negative & positive point of breeze rectifier. If we are getting the supply and till now if the output is 0 then check the logic of 1.7V at the gate of MOSFET. If we are getting the logic then check the resistance joined at the source of MOSFET for open is resistance is OK then MOSFET is open, so change the MOSFET.

4.      If we are not getting the signals at the gate of MOSFET then first of all check 12V supply at pin no. 7 of UC3843 I.C. if the supply is not coming then check R2A, R2B, R2C,  R2D,  R2F, R2P for open .

5.      If the resistances are heating up, it means UC3843 I.C. is short. Change it.

6.      If we are getting supply at VCC pin of I.C. then check 2.5V supply at volt reference pin no. 8 of I.C. If volts are not obtaining then I.C. is defective. Change it.

7.      If we are getting the reference volts but not getting 1.7V logic at pin no. 7 then remove the shut down transistor QA(2X) connected at pin no. 1 of I.C, from the circuit if we will get the output volts on removing the transistor from the circuit then check the transistor QA, QB(2X,2T) joined in shut down section for sort.

8.      If the transistor is alright then check output controller section joined at output. For this check high at pin no. 2 of opto coupler IC3(P721). If we are getting low at pin no. 2 then check Q505, ZD501 for short if the output volts are high then it means it is working properly.

9.      If the output volts are high then check R11, R3, R4, R5 for open. If the resistance is alright then UC3843 I.C. is damaged.

10.               If we are getting output volts very low then we will check  (R13) 68Ω1W resistance joined at source of MOSFET for high value.

11.               If laptop starts working with adaptor sometimes but not every time and laptop computer is already then change the current sensor I.C HB00113/9603 Delta HIC joined in output.

NOTE:- if HIC Delta I.C is defective and a new one is not available then remove the I.C. from the circuit. Sort the I.C. and Pin no. 8 and pin no. 9 of PCB mutually and check the base of Q501 load control transistor with the following circuit.

WORKING PROCESS OF CIRCUIT

 Supply received from DCIN section is given to the Drain of Charging MOSFET. The source of MOSFET is connected to the source of discharging MOSFET. Positive supply is given to the gate of charging mosfet by connecting a resistance of 10K at Gate from Drain. To get the positive supply on the gate of MOSFET, mosfet becomes ON & flow the supply of charging volt from Drain to Source. Supply received from the Source is given to the Source of Discharging MOSFET. This supply is received at Drain through the Source to Drain Forward Bios Diode connected inside of Discharging MOSFET. The drain of the MOSFET is connected to the positive +B point of the cell inner part of discharging MOSFET from which cell  charge gets start, when the battery is full charged, then by sensing the volt and current of cell by the V1 V2 V3 V4 pins of the IC MM1414C, then charging cut off signal high is out from pin no. 1.High received at pin no1 is given to the base of NPN transistor and Emitter of the transistor is ground. After receiving the high at the base of transistor, transistor flow negative supply from is grounded. After receiving the high at the base of transistor, transistor flow negative supply from E to C. Negative supply, obtained at C is received to the Gate of charging get stops.

     MOSFET gate is received high logic by inserting10k resistance in drain to gate for giving battery supply which is receives at gate of discharging MOSFET at the time of, main AC fails by from which MOSFET gets on and flows source battery from drain. The supply on source has given of charging MOSFET source this supply MOSFET on drain placed to inside charging MOSFET by the forward bias diode it supplies volt in dept inside a laptop by the battery connector placed a fuse on drain which helps laptop to say ON when the main AC fails.

The signal out from CDC(charging Discharging Control) open pin no. 7 of MM1414CIC to get display status of battery status of battery to connect NPN transfer,             N-channel MOSFET n this pin, SM bus interface IC gives analog battery status on slat Battery of pin no. 11 of BQ2040. This IC is IC Programmable analog to digital convert, LED Status IC. Same space has left on front panel battery status in IC. Internal part of IC converts analog signal to digital by analog to digital convertor dept received pin no. 11 and show out data status by the compare of IC data pin and stored program of IC to digital binary of the battery. This data display battery status to get read by the internal part micro controller of the laptop, which receives on battery status on the screen of laptop.

    When the battery becomes low then first of all signal out to the battery over low from pin no. :7 of MM1414IC. It shows error signal display  n the screen of the laptop by SM BUS Interface(your battery have over low please shut down your system in 15 seconds.)within the 15 seconds occurs of this error signal does not shutdown it than it shows in the form of discharging cut off signals high on the basis of NPN transistor placed on pin no. 5 as get high signals as flows negative supply transistor e to c. Received supply on C is given to MOSFET of gate. Thus, MOSFET gate off then the system gets shut down.

Testing of battery and fault finding

    We will check this part till when battery of laptop is not giving backup on AC failure time. Battery is not detecting , Battery gets charge and discharge another second, This part will check as follows:

(1)              If battery is not getting backup then go in C-MOS setup and will check battery status in battery options if in the battery status if getting a message “battery not installed” then we will replace SM Bus Interface IC BQ2040, EEP ROM in the battery.

(2)              If there is a detection of the battery in C-MOS setup but then battery is not getting backup then separate battery from laptop we will make testing probe  will get  on by the help of adaption put on positive and negative supply point of battery. When you get on multimeter it shows 1 ampere then battery part is ok fault is in charging boost part and volt in part thus we will check volt on part.

(3)              It is exists testing prob is not showing Multimeter ampere of supply point of +B negative point of the battery then we will spark battery  from the box we will apply testing problem on +b negative supply point of series, parallel combination cell then we will check for open CH, DCH MOSFET if MOSFET is ok then MM1414Cis not good.

(4)              If testing prob exists on +B negative point of the cell multimeter according to resistance table.

(5)              If the time of charging a lot of heat occurs then we will check charging for MOSFET short.

(6)              If the time of discharging after got an error massage auto shutting down then will check discharging MOSFET for short.

(7)              If battery is receiving back up and getting status like 20% its hanged if will changes EEPROM(240CO1) IC.

Note: charging in battery discharging is not using thus the use of temperature sensor(thermal diode) in the battery will display message of full changed on  time of discharge and backup will not be receive on the time of AC fails.

To be open of thermal diode battery will overcharging, overheat & will not be charging cut off. There can be a blast due to overheat of Ni-Ca, Ni-MH cell.

Circuit Description & Testing of Different Section of Acer TravelMate 2400/3210/3220 Laptop

1.      DCIN & detector part:

The most important work of this part is to get supply adaptor and battery control on it power selector. This part is made by use of DCJACK Battery connector, dual comparators IC LM393, transistor MOSFET diode.

(1)Adaptor DC Jack:  supply out by coil PL1 and diode PD26 received by adaptor DC jack this is called by VIN these volt IN supply gives to the drain of power MOSFET PQ4(A04407) connected wit battery charging and power sector. DC  Jack PL1 capacitor (PCN1) is having jack of 5 pins in which pi no. 1 supply positive and pin no. 2 supplys negative pin no 34 & 5 grounded a DC jack received supply from DC Jack to get filter there is a coil capacitor PC1(1000PF), pc2(100pf), PC3(1000PF), PC4(100PF) to stop reverse supply diode PD26(SBH1040)

(2) Battery conductors: there is a 7 pin connection for battery connection. Descriptions of pins are follows: pin no.1,6,7 is used o negative supply of the battery. Which pin no. 2 is negative pen of the battery of circuit. This pin of the data SM Bus to embedded controller which is connects of EC IC(u20) pin no. 164.

Pin no.3:                 this pin is the clock signal of SH Bus to EC. Which is connected to pin no. 163 of EC IC(u20)

Pin no. 4:                this pin is the temperature sensing pin of the battery is sense. This pin is connected with pin no. 81 of EC IC(u20)

Pin no. 5:                This pin is positive supply of battery, by which positive supply received from battery out through coil PL7, this is called by’ BATTt’ for battery discharges these supply discharging MOSFET PQ8(A04007) is given to drain & by the time of battery charging and on the time of battery charging and on the time of battery charging received positive supply coil(PL3) from charging MOSFET PQ7(A04407)& resistance PR44(0.02E) gets on this pin by it. Thus battery gets charge received positive supply on this pin is called “VmB:. To which gives over voltage protection circuit of battery.

For ESD Protection based on diode PD14, PD15 & PD16(BAS4004x3) from pin no. 2,3,4 of battery connector.

For sensing the DC supply received from adaptor and for ON the MOSFET, connected  in the Battery charging & power selection stage, one comparator, of Dual Comparator IC (PUI) is used. For giving the fix volt to the inverting pin of comparator, “VIN” supply is convert in to “VS” volt through the Diode PD2(IN4148) & resistance PR11(33E). These VS volt is giving to positive supply pin of IC PU1(LM399).  3.3V fix supply made by linier regulator IC PU2 (G920AT24U) which is known by RTC volt REF.

     The comparator’s pin is fixed by this RTCVREF supply. Charging volts are given to the battery through the RTCVREF supply resistance PR27(300E), PR26(300E) & diode D9(BAS40-40).

    VIN supply receives at non inverting pin of comparator by resistance PR3(84.5K). When positive supply is received by the Adaptor. At that time high is receives at pin no. 3 of IC PU1, by which high is receive from pin no. 1 of IC PU1. These high are given at pin no. 26 of EC IC (U20) from the name of ACIN and these high signals from the name of PACIN are given to the gate of MOSFET PQ9(2N7002), PQ36(2N7002) which are connected in the battery charging and power selector stage, by which power of adaptor are selected. 

 At the time of receiving supply from Battery & AC adaptor, ‘MAINPWON’ signal are receive for making ON the +5VALWP&+3VALWP system power supply. For this Gate of other comparator PU1 IC is used. Inverting Pin of IC PU1 is fixed by RTCVREF supply. Positive supply received from the adaptor is given to non interring pin of PUI(LM393) IC by diodePD4(1N4148), resistance PRE9, PRE10, PRE12 and PRE15 (1Kx4) & MOSFET PQ35(TP0610K). This supply is known as ’B+’.

       To get ON of MOSFET PQ35there is a fix transistor PQ33(DTC115EUA) when there is no supply from the adaptor, at that time transistor PQ34 is connected for making OFF the transistor PQ33 & MOSFET PQ3, by which signal is receive in the shape of AC OFF High from ECIC.

         At the time battery supply, supply received from the source of discharging MOSFET(PQ6) is received in the from of B+ by supply coil PL2, which are given to non inverting pin of IC PU1. In the normal condition, high is receive at non inverting pin of IC PU1, by which high is received from pin no. 7 of ICPU1, which get in the from of ‘MAINPWON’ by diode PD5 these signals is given to +5VALWP and +3VALWP system power supply stage.

If the any reason doesn’t get the +5VALWP supply then transistor PQ3(DTC115EUA) is not becomes ON, by which MOSFET PQ2(2N7002) becomes ON and make low to non inverting pin of IC PU1, by which signal MAINPWON gets low and +5VALWP and +3VALWP gets off.

Testing of DCIN & Detector Stage:

This stage will be check at that time when battery charging and power selected part is not receiving the supply. For this we will check following components.

Check:- Adaptor DC jack PCN1, coil PL1, diode PD26, battery connector PJP11, coil PL7, IC PU1, MOSFET PQ1, regulator IC PU2, diode PD3, PD2 etc.

2. BATTERY CHARGING AND POWER SELECTION

 Main work of this is to give the supply to circuit the adopter at the time of supply from the adopter and charging of battery. When supply not coming from the adopter, supply of battery has to give the circuit. For this work, we use Li-iON batter charging chip PU3 (MB3887), power the mosfet PQ4, PQ5, PQ6, and PQ7(A04407X4) transistor PQ37 (DTC115EUA) PQ38 (DTA144EUA) PQ8 (DTC115EUA) the mosfet PQ9 and PQ36 (2N7002x2).

         Li-ION battery is a charging IC. Following are the description of the pins of Li-ION battery.

         When power supply is becomes ON by the adopter at that time +19V(3.42A) supply is received at drain pin no.5,6,7 & 8 of power mosfet PQ4(A04407), which is received at the source of mosfet by diode connected internally in the MOSFET, which is known as P2 supply. But the current capacity of this supply is very low.

   Source pin no. 1, 2 and 3 of PQ4 are connected with source pin no.1,2 and 3 of MOSFET PQ5. For making ON the both mosfets, mosfets PQ9 gets ON through DCIN & PACIN high signal received from Detector stage due to which we get a negative volt at gate of power PQ4 and PQ5 because these both the mosfets are of P channel, That’s why it is ON by negative supply and drain’s pin 5,6,7 and 8 of PQ5 (0.02E), which is known as +B supply. This B+ supply is given to various sections. B+ supply is out by coil PL2, which is known as ‘B++; supply.

When power supply becomes ON by battery, at that time then BTT+ supply is received pin no. 5,6,7 and 8 of drain of battery discharging mosfet PQ6 (A04407). This positive supply of the battery is received at the source of the mosfet by internal diode of mosfet. But the Current capacity of this supply is low. Thus, we need-ve supply to making ON the mosfet PQ6 because mosfet PQ6 is a P-channel the mosfet. VIN supply is given at the gate of mosfet PQ6 at the time of Adaptor supply by resistance PR33(47K), by which MOSFET becomes off and when supply is receiving OFF from the adaptor then we do not get positive volt at this pin. At that time from pin number 37 of EC IC (U20) we get AC off signal in high from, which is given to base of  transistor PQ8 (DTC115EUA) through diode PD8(1SS355) by this transistor comes to ON state and out the negative voltage from the collector, that is given to the gate of MOSFET PQ6. When we get negative voltage  at the gate of PQ6 then MOSFET passes the positive volt through drain to source, it is known as B++ supply , and which is given to different section of laptop.

Pin 1, 2 and 3 of MOSFET PQ7(A00407) source get B++ supply at the time of battery charging. Gate of mosfet PQ7 is connected with Fet Gate Drive pin no. 20 of Charging IC PU3. Both end of load resistance PR29 are connected with pin 1 & 24 of current detection amplifier 2 of IC PU3 for sensing the current of supply, received from adaptor whose current detection output signal is passed out from pin number 2 of PU3 which is supplied to pin number 84 of EC IC(U20). For working of PU3 (MB3887) IC the P3 supply is given to pin number 18 and P++ supply is given at pin no. 21 through the resistance PR34(0E). Negative supply is given to pin number 23 of IC PU3.

When PU3 IC get supply then reference voltage are out from pin number 6 of IC PU3. Through this reference volt non invert pin number 3 of error amplifier is fixed. And this reference volt is given to pin number 11 of IC.

Capacitor and resistance are ground from soft start pin number 22 of PU3 and resistance is ground from trigger pin number 17, by which this oscillator part works in the IC internally. But gate drive does not out the signal from pin number 20, util FST CHG high signal does not rece3ived at pin number 147 from pin no. 48 of EC IC(U20).

When FTCHG high signal received at pin no. 14 of IC PU3 then charging mosfet gate drive pulse are out from pin number 20 of IC, which are given to the gate of charging MOSFET PQ7, due to which MOSFET PQ7 becomes On and out the charging volt from gate to source, which are given to coil (PL3) and resistance PR44(0.02E). To rectify the charging volt diode PD24 and PD9 (SR530x2) are connected. To sense the charging volt current pin number 12 and 13 of IC PU3 are connected to both the ends of resistance PR44. This is current detection amplifier 1 pin of IC. The current ref is received at pin no. 9 in the from of high signal from number 101 of EC IC (U20).

    For regulating the +5 VALWP supply, PQ11 MOSFET is used.

This is a output pin of high side 3V MOSFET of  IC, 3V gate drive pulse are not received until MAINPWON signal doesn’t received on pin number 3 of IC PU5. When there is high at pin number 3 of IC then MOSFET drive pulses are out from pin number 24 and 26 of IC PU5, which is received by MOSFET PQ10, due to which from pin number 5,6 and 7 of MOSFET PQ10 regulated +3VALWP is out, which is get in the form of _3VALWP supply through coil (PL5). To being constant this supply out5put supply is given to pin no. 7 of Feedback 3V of IC PU5 through the divider circuit.

The +B supply from the battery charging and power selector division is received via a coil PL8 on the pin no.5, 6, 7, 8 of the drain of high side power mosfet PQ14, which is attached in main phase.

The source pin no. 1, 2, 3 of PQ14 mosfet is connected to drain pin no. 5, 6, 7, 8 of low side power mosfet PQ16. A supply of regulated main phase from the pin s of source and drain of PQ14 and PQ16 are received, these are received, these are received by the coil PL9.

High side gate drive pulse is given at pin no.4of main power mosfet PQ14 from pin no.28 of programmable PWM controller IC PU7 & Low side Gate drive pulse is given at pin no.4 of main power mosfet PQ16 from pin no. 29 of programmable PWM controller IC PU7. Pin no. 1, 2 and 3 of source pin of MOSFET PQ16 is grounded. When high and low side gate drive pulse power from pin no.28 and 29 is sent to the gates of PQ14 and PQ16 then power MOSFET creates a regulated volt using switching principal which is according to the given gate pulse. Regulated volt which we get is out from coil (PL9). In order to sense the current which is received on coil PL9, pin no. 37 and 38 of IC PU7 is connected, by which controls the supply of current.

In order to get phase regulated supply, we are using secondary power MOSFET PQ19 (AO4408) and PQ22 (AO4410). Battery charging from pin no. 5, 6, 7 and 8 of drain of high side power MOSFET PQ19 and B+ supply coil (PL8) from power selector section. Pin no. 5, 6, 7 and 8 of low side of drain of power MOSFET PQ22(AO4410) and pin no. 1, 2 and 3 of source of power MOSFET PQ19 1, 2 and 3 of source of power MOSFET PQ22 are grounded.

Pin no.4 of secondary 1, 2 and 3 of source of power MOSFET PQ19 GETS HIGH SIDE GATE BDRIVE PULSE FROM PIN NO.33 of IC PU7, and pin no.4 of secondary 1, 2 and 3 of source of power MOSFET PQ19 of PQ22  get low side gate drive. When pin no. 33 and 32 gives out low and high side gate drive pulse gives to 1, 2 and 3 of source of power MOSFET PQ19, through switching principal creates a regulated volt. This is according to the gate pulse . Inputted regulated volt is outputted from drain and source junction pin of MOSFET PQ19 and PQ22 , which is outputted from coil PL10.

In order to sense the current which we get from coil PL10, pin no. 39 and 40 IC PU7 are to be connected, through which supply current is controlled. After connecting main phase of coil PL9 and secondary phase coil PL10, we get +CPU_DORE supply. In order to work the CPU CORE the conditions are:

2V on pin no.8 of IC PU7, high on pin no.6, high on pin no. 7, high on pin no. 3 and low on pin no.18 should be given.

When CPU CORE does correct function then we receive VGATE in the form of CPU CORE on pin no. 25 of IC PU7. If on this pin Supply is low. The means that CPU CORE is not working. Then VGATE is given to clock generator section, south bridge (ICH6M) and GMCH (north bridge) so that this section starts working.

CHAPTER-5

LCD PANEL

LCD panel used in laptop, is a such type of output display device which made as a different unit. When you work on laptop or play games then this displays the text and graphic image and immediately provides feedback. Laptop uses the liquid crystal display these days to consume less energy and same design, generally laptop have LCD technology (which are known as flat panel or flat screen).

    Liquid crystal was discovered  by Fredick Rinitichuer of Austria in year 1888. It is a organic material , it is in shape of crystal. These have both soild and liquid properties. But at room temperature they are found as liquid crystal depends upon voltage and current they are also affected by pressure and heat.

In nature they are found in 3 forms.

1.       Solid (crystalline)  

2.       Liquid crystal (mesofaze)

3.       Liquid (isotropic)

1.      Solid(crystalline):  Some crystals are found in form of soild state. These are not affected by normal temperature, means that temperature of environment and humidity does not effect the atom of this due to this it is known as crystalline.

2.      Lequid crystal (mesofaze):- when a solid liquid crystal is heated, then its atoms are changes and there shaped is also changes. This type of liquid crystal is known as mezofaze liquid crystal. There are neither liquid nor crystal. It is in from of both crystals.

3.      Liquid (isotopic):- When temperature or pressure is given on liquid crystal then there change in the state or structure, that change in state of liquid crystal is called isotopic liquid.

All the three state are shown in the following figure:-

 

 

Working Procedure of LCD:

     To understand the working of LCD the light of back light rays  are passing through LCD. Light source is set always behind the LCD, LED or fluorescent technology is used for back light. In this method the rays of light pass out by light polarizer such type that this polarized light beam is passed through liquid crystal matrix, which confirm that pixel must be ON or OFF.

     If pixel is the ON position then liquid crystal cell activated in the form of electrical and liquid crystal is aligned in signal direction. In this position there will be no change in the light position. If pixel are in the OFF position then electric field will be remove and particle will be movable in liquid.

   In this position the pixel of that display in passing through liquid crystal.

   Now we explaining the working procedure of passive and active crystal display and its main production steps:-

PASSIVE MATRIX LCDs:-

    In passive matrix type LCD switching drive is not available. There are frame for each pixel, connected in it and a address of that pixel by which the passive matrix LCD have many layer. The main part of it is the two glass plates, which are connected by seal. Polarized is fixed for coming the polarized light in the signal direction on the first glass plate. Now light is passed out from the front glass plate. One layer of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is used in the form of electrodes. Passivation layer is also known as heard coat layer, which is based on SiOx and fixed on the ITO (Indium Tim Oxide) in the form aligened liquid crystal fluid.

  Liquid crystal is also optically active and rotate in the polarization direction of incoming light. The width of this layer is obtained by spacer, which maintains a fix distance between two glass plates. When there is no any electric potential at the rear part of glass from the front part of glass then as polarized passed out from liquid crystal layer then it is rotate in the 900. When electric potential is not connected from one plate to another plate then light is not be rotate. After passing out from the liquid crystal, light is passed out by second polyamide layer, second hard coat layer, ITO Electrode & rear glass. When it reaches at rear polarizer then either it is transmit by it or absorbed by it. It depends on it that rotate 900 or not.

ACTIVE MATRIX LCDS:-

   The use of active matrix technology is for thin film transistors (TFT) or amorphous or poly crystalline silicon on LCD glass plate. While it is easy to use amorphous silicon TFT’s and now a days it is used for large display. Poly silicon TFT’s show good performance but it requires more temperature. They only used in tube furnace and poly silicon technology are used for small display manufacture.

    Active matrix is also known as LCD switch device. In this integrated switching device is used in the form of transistor, which is made up of thin films medium. For this also knowledge this film transistor.

TFT

     Full name of TFT is “thin film transistor “. It has a tiny transistor which is made with every transparent pixel electrode of TFT LCD panel. These are made at the glass panel behind the LCD panel which  has gate, drain source, data and gate line.TFT gate display data signal by the data line and ON/OFF signal by the gate line. Three sub pixels (RGB) are made for every sub pixel, which can be understand by following diagram-

 

 

 

 

 

 

COLOR FILTER

    In color display, after passing the light through liquid crystal matrix, it passed through color filter. This display the light according to RGB color of color filter. Color filter is fixed near to upper glass. Three different pixels of red, blue and green are attached for every pixel. Black color pixel is in the middle of color pixel, which increases the contrest of picture. After the light beam through color filter, it goes to other polarize to sharp the position of image. Then image is prepared for view.

        Color filter is made for making the color display in TFTLCD. Main work of it is that convert the polarized light according to signal. These are made in upper glass according to pixel electrode of lower glass panel which are of red, green and blue color and known as Delta Array, Strip Array and Mosaic array and can be understand by following diagram-

       Three main technologies are used in TFTLCD’ amorfous silicon’ (a-Si)’, ‘polycristlin silicon’ (p-Si)’ and ‘signale crystal silicon’(x-Si).

      Silicon transistor matrix in TFT is made of amorfous. Amorfous silicon TFTLCD’s color is good and good work ability. Because a-Si are of low nature (area/voltage second). A capacitor is always used with every pixel of it. A-Si production process gets only four basic lithographic steps.

      Even line generation is correct and it work at low voltage a-Si TFT technology has some weak points too. To remove these, we have new technology of the TFT display which is known polycrystalline silicon (p-Si).

Polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) is similar to amorfous technology. Different is that TFT display is more effective in it And its manufacturing is more costly p-Si TFT technology is used in high definition television (HDTV) p-Si technology is back of a-Si technology is back of a-Si technology. Because high temperature is required for its manufacturing, which is approx 600 degree centigrade. In HDTV to obtain the 1024 line, P-Si TFT technology proved well.

   Signal crystal silicon (x-Si) technology which is in the primary stage. It has a large capacity to generate the high display resolution . Presently the research of x-Si technology is done by air force.

    In TFT LCD monitor there are three different liquid crystal technology is used, it is known by TN+Film, IPS and MVA/PVA. This technology is described below:-

TN+Film(Twisted Nematic+Film):-

      In TN+Film panel there is right angle of liquid crystal filter. In TN+Film panel there is another layer of “Film”, by which the view angle is increased.

      TN+Film technology is easy to used. TN technology is used before many years. It uses can be viewed in the TFT panels which is used in different years before. To increase the viewing capacity of this panel, designer adds a film layer to it, by which the viewing angle is increased up to 150 degree from 90 degree. Now the working system is introduced to known, how zero voltage given on the sub pixel in thin film transistor then the liquid crystal rotates horizontally by an angle of 90 degree angle on the plate and light is passed away. If red, green and blue sub pixel is shining then that screen is observed as a white dot.

   When the voltage is given to the film transistor in the form of electric field then these are makes a circular design of crystal. In this position of matter try to align itself in the direction of electric direction. In this posiyion the polarized light does not pass through the sub pixels and black will be obtained as white dot on screen.

 

IPS (IN-PLANE Switching):-

     First generation of TFT LCD technology there is a decrement in viewing angle of TN+ Film after which the IPS technology is introduced. The viewing angle of this technology is 170 degree and the digital time is 50 to 60 ms.

     If there is no voltage is on IPS system then liquid crystal does not rotate. Secondary filter is always parallel with the first filter. Therefore the light is always passes through this. Screen automatically seems black. This is a second field, in which these display is better display then its own TN rivals. If the transistor is burn then dead pixel becomes not sharp, becomes white not black. When not black. When the sub pixel exposed the voltage then two electrode makes electric field and rotate the crystal in parallel position to their right position then they a line with the polarizing filter and light passes through it.  

MVA/PVA (Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment/Patterned Vertical Alignment):-

   Some manufactures used MVA technology. In this technology the viewing angle of horizontal and vertical is 160 degree. The response time of this technology is half of IPS technology.

     In this system, some crystal, which is not in the position of current, they were not vertical a line with the other filter. It means that light does not pass through it. As the voltage is generated crystal rotates by 900 and light passes through it, by which the white dot is display on the screen. The +ve consequence of this system is its speed. The response time of this system is less then 25ms.

LCD PANEL MANUFACTURING PROCESS:-

     Front glass plate and rear glass plate and rear glass plate is used to make different lines. Mostly, maximum (4-6) display is obtained on plate. Rear glass plate is used for making the TFT in the position of active matrix LCDs. Transistor is created on the upper layer of ITO(Indian Tin Oxide) through PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). After this high coat, polyamide and spacer are used.

        Like front glass plate, rear glass plate ITO, hard coat and celling, color filter have also the surface.

Two glass plates are mutually aliened and connected by using the UV high polymer soft in an assembled machine then raw panels are  pressed each other and it is warmed by taking care of seal and a constant panel structure is created. After this to measure the final display the bigger display are tighten broken. Edge is grounded.

The construction of TFT is depend on many vacuum reactions, in which the for collection of PEVDCA-SI and gate de-electric insulation layer and by scanning the mental line for the ITO layer, TFT is created.

   For the construction of TFT, the first pole is to give  pertaining to each and every layer. Poly-silicon deposition process is used in case of a-Si position for the better quality of display p-Si deposition is done in the Take furnace of low pressure. This furnace is similar to the furnaces used for the other parts in a semi conductor industry. To make many layer in the TFT, lithographic equipment like resistance seppers and dry and wet is used. Through the high etching a better line width can be obtained but wet etching is a fast and less costly of mental in cover plate color filter this process is most costly for the manufacturing of TFT. There are so many process to prepare to front glass from color to filter. Dry and dust filter powder is spread on the glass, which is a simplest and less costly technology but in this process the maximum amont of filter material is unused. In the third process the layer of color filter is used on front glass and a protection layer is used above it.

   After this substrate is used on ITO. After all through flax printer technology, SIOx and SOG is printed on the substrate and then it is placed in the furnace.

   Under the cure process gas is poured on it. This process of pouring the gas is done with the help clean ovens or Hot plates.

  Polyamide layer rubbing is necessary for the proper LC Alignment on the surface. This rubbing is aligned parallel with the polarized director direction. To keep the same distance on yhe two glass plate spacer spray is used on surface. With this spray, which  is used In big display plastic. Three reactions can be used for this spray process. High spray, which is used in big display.

  Semi spary is used for making the medium and small display. Wet spray is very less usable. But in this process same speaker is formed.

    Screen printing technology is the best medium to seal the surface of both of this glass. Through this technology a large amount of output can be obtained of the best  quality. Seal dispensing technology is mostly usable for the low production. The sealing material for the sealing purpose is firstly made in oven and then glass plates are used in assembly machine. After making of the seal it is sealed in Hot press oven.

    After this the process of making the external connector is done. This process is done when the surface of glass plate is completed then silver paste is left on the printed line for making the connectors. Both the connected and aligned glass plate is keep on the sail assembly machine. That is already explained that the work os sealing is done after the sail assembly. After doing the fixing of glass plate in their right position of the sports through UV(Ultra Violet) light of both the glass plate in sail assembly then the process to seal the glass plate is completed. This process of sealing is done in true pressure with the thickness of seal. The thickness of seal and the thickness of LCD depends on the spacer. The process of filling of LCD is based on vacuum technology.

ASPECT RATIO AND DISPLAY AREA

There are two type of measurement for the size of display:-

(1)              Aspect ration                                                    (2) Screen size

1.Aspect Ration: The meaning of Aspect Ration is that what is that what is the width and height of the display. The Aspect Ration of display of maximum computer is 4:3 it is called as format of picture. Aspect Ration is different for the resolution of some computer, which is understand by following table.

Resolution                                                          Aspect Ration           Remark

320X240                                                             4:3                                                 Quarter VGA

2560X2048                                                        4:3                                                 QSXGA

   2.Screen Size:- There is projection surface in all the types of display, which is normally called as screen. The measurement of size of screen is in the across inches, Screen size of a Laptop LCD panel is measure from one corner to another corner in the  cross which is shown in a figure.

DOT PITCH OR PIXEL SIZE

Dot pitch indicates the sharpness of displayed image. It is measured in millimeter (MM) and less number indicates sharper the image. How the Dot Pitch is measured, it depends on the technology which is used.

Some manufactures used the horizontal dot pitch. To measure the horizontal dot pitch, two sub pixel of same color measures the horizontal distance of dot pitch. It is not vertically measured.

Example-If the dot pitch of TFT LCD is 0.28 MM then the horizontal dot pitch of that display can be 0.24MM. The dot pitch of a better quality of display is 0.26 MM and the horizontal dot pitch of  that display should be 0.22MM.

Dot pitch can be converted directly in the resolution of screen. If we see the place of one square inch then hear we see that finite amont of dots, which depends on dot      PITCH. Hear a table is given, in which no of dots is shown per square centimeter and per square inches in every common dot pitches.

Approx. Number of                                                                Approx. Number of

Dot Pitch          Pixels/cm2                                                   Pixels/in2

.25MM                   1,600                                                                   10,000

.26MM                   1,444                                                                   9,025

.27MM                   1,369                                                                   8,556

.28MM                   1,225                                                                   7,656   

RESOLUTION OF LIQUID CRYSWTAL DISPLAY(LCD):-

    The number of one Dots (which is also called as pixels) on one display is called as “Resolution”. The number of pixels on the horizontal rows of the resolution and number of pixel on the vertical columns are shown as divination. For example-800 x 600. This resolution, is depends on the many other factors besides the screen size.

Some normal display standards and resolution are shown in the table given below-

VGA=    Video Graphics Array                                                        640 x RGB x 480 Dot 

SVGA = Super Video Graphics Array                                     800 x RGB x 600 Dot    

XGA=    Extended Graphics Array                                                    1,024 x RGB x 768 Dot

SXGA= Super Extended Graphics Array                        1,280 x RGB x1,024 Dot

XSGA+= Super Extended Graphics Array                     1,400 x RGB x 1,050 Dot

UXGA= Ultra Extended Graphics Array                        1,600 x RGB x1,200 Dot

GUIDNCE OF HANDLING LCD PANEL

1.       The screen of LCD Panel is made of soft polarizer. Dot not scratch or pressure on it.

2.       Use rubber glove to touch the LCD screen. For cleaning it use soft cloth, anti static material or N-Hexane cleaner. Never use water.

3.       Never use the LCD on high temperature and high Humidity and neither in the low temperature and low Humidity.

4.       Corrosive gas may harm the polarizer circuit of TFT.

5.       The CMOS electro-static are used as sensitive components in LCD module. Therefore, before opening or catch the LCD module earthed the body, do not touch the pin of signal interface connector of LCD module.

6.       Do not keep the TFT LCD module in front of Sun Light.

7.       Do not connector or disconnected the signal interface connector of TFT LCD module at the time of power ON.

8.       The circuit of TFT LCD module works on the high frequency. Therefore, do not remove the grounding and shielding method given by the company.

9.       Do not increase the length of back light connector cable connected in TFT LCD module, since the luminance of CCFL becomes less due to lengthy cable back light and in between the inverter. Because CCFL needs more startup voltage.

10. There is a glass in TFT LCD module. Therefore may break or crack on high surface after falling or crashing.
