    Gateway FPD1976w 2 seconds and then black

    Hello friends, I have a monitor gateway that only turns on for two seconds but then goes black screen. Continuous power led in blue color. This monitor previously repaired but now that I get to my hands want to compose. My question is about the following capacitors of the power plate.

    C509
    C820
    C818
    C815
    C817
    C522

    I think they changed them and just want to know if they are good values that they put.

    C509 - 220uf 50V 105 c
    C820 - 47uf 25V 125 c
    C818 - 1000uf 25V 105 c
    C815 - 680uf 25V 105 c
    C817 - 470uf 50V 105 c
    C522 - 150uf 35V 105 c

    Since it is the first thing that I would change. If these values correct strutted, if I could guide where most follow is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks and greetings from Mexico.

    Greetings to my friend south of the border. Those caps actually look like the originals because they are CapXon. Horrible quality. Most people would have replaced with decent capacitors.

    There is a man out here that wrote an excellent article on "2 seconds to black" and how to diagnose and locate the problem. His nick is "retiredcaps" and here's his writing on how to do that. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10419

        Thank you for the information, only if they could help me with the exact capacitor values, since as I said, someone the change and not be if they are the real ones. I have no diagram or another monitor close.

          There are at least 2 different power boards in this set -what is the board number.

          I would suggest you test the inverter transformers - a common failing.

            If you look at the ebay link, it looks like the repair kit for your board has the same value caps:

                relocate the lamp cords and worked during more time approximately 5 minutes. I am thinking that the problem is the lamps and not investors. When the lamps are turned off it is impossible to see that the screen still continues to operate if it puts a front light.

                  Does the power light stay on when the backlight goes off?

                  Post a good in focus picture of the back of the board
