Hi Guys..
I have an Acer AL2416W B monitor that is rather pooly.
First of all, the problem that I had was that I had to turn on my computer FIRST and then the monitor.
If I switched off the monitor, I had to disconnect the data lead until the indicator light turned AMBER and then reconnect.
Secondly, whilst watching the screen (I was on the telephone) the screen suddenly went BLACK at the left hand side and graduated to bright at the right hand side.
I have tried to repair it by replacing the known bad capacitors on the invertor board. I changed the top 4, which were clearly blown. The bottom 4 and the 2 others seemed OK.
However, this made no difference.
I have now changed the bottom 4 and the 2 others and this has made no difference.
Is it possibe that the FETs can cause this problem ?
If so, I will set about changing the FETs.
This means that I will have to remove the invertor board again to find the number on the FETs
Regards,
John C
Now for a question: How can I test the monitor, after a repair, without reassembling it completely, including putting the back back on.
I have seen video on Youtube showing a monitor working without the back on.
