            Abester- I am not certain about the secondaries on this board, I have marked where I think they are. With the power off set your meter on 2000 ohms and test S1 to S2 and S3 to S4. (2000 may not be high enough one member reckoned he got 128Kohms but we never got much further)

              These are the two pins for the secondary winding.

                  Okay bare with me as I have not used a multi-meter before. Could you possibly tell me how to do it? I have been meaning to check out some Multi-meter tutorials and how to use them, Maybe i will do that tonight.

                    1) Your manual has instructions.

                    2) Youtube has tutorials.

                    3) My 2 seconds guide has a section on multimeters.

                      I cannot seem to find anything on Youtube on testing secondary windings... What are these secondary winding's I'm testing? what is the component?

                          With buds pictures showing the secondary windings. The top two measured 371.25 and bottom two measured 368.20.

                            Abester =Ok They look to be correct- Do you have any spare lamps you can use to test
                            old monitor/laptop - There is a section at the end of the 2 sec to black guide where Budm show a modified cfl bulb for testing

                            Mark369 -are your secondaries similar

                              selldoor - those were measured on a fluke 187 in Ω auto mode. I am not sure how to set to 2000 ohms and do it.

                                Yes - that is ok - I have said they appear to be correct- so we now have to move on to the lamps and lamp wiring

                                  In post #20, you said you would buy a multimeter. You went and bought a Fluke 187?

                                  When I first saw your readings down to 2 decimal places on the ohms mode, I knew you must have had some sort of 50,000 count multimeter and I wondered if you had a Fluke 187.

                                  All the modern Flukes are autoranging. There is no need to set it to 2000 ohms mode. Many people who come here only have manual range multimeters with a 2,000 count resolution.

                                  Proceed to testing the lamps as directed be selldoor.

                                      So basically I am testing the inverter circuits with the CFL lamp modification, as well as testing the lamp's themselves? What do I look for when testing the lamps, and testing the inverter circuits?

                                        I noticed that the screen brightness increases and decreases at random times as well. I don't know if this will help troubeshooting. but I have yet to test the CCFL Bulbs because I do not have the required CFL bulb to do the modification.

So it was like split screen on one monitor with a black bar runing up and down screen. Guss I will have it fix the orgnal or find a new one
