Dead LCD Part 2

Category: Uncategorized / Tag: , , ,  / Add Comment

Its been a while since I posted so a little update. I've replaced the capacitors in both power supplies and yet neither monitor will function. On one supply I replaced all the capacitors, and on the second I only replaced the three that showed visual signs of damage. With both the results were the same. No light output from the LCD, yet the "No signal detected" error was clearly visible with a flashlight. In addition, both power supplies now generate a fairly audible hum. I've got a few more tricks to try, but both LCDs (and the $50 I have invested so far) are not far from the dumpster.

Replaced just the three visibly damaged capacitors. Replaced all capacitors except the largest one.

 

 

 

 

 

This shows that the CCFL is working correctly. Neither of these CCFLs can fully fire due to how they were connected, but they are working just fine.
