80GL17T-40-V / Dell E178WFPC

[lcdman]

Hello,

Does anyone on this site know where I can get one of these tranformers?

It has the number 80GL17T-40-V on it. Its on a Dell E178WFPC inverter board.
When I first opened this monitor I found that one set of ccfl wires were burnt.
So I cut out the burned sections and soldered the ends and applied heat shrink tubing over each wire and then over the set of wires. Its emitting that ozone smell when turned on. I found a transformer on Ebay, but don't really want to wait about a month to receive.

Let Me Know,
lcdman

It seems to me that the transformer is putting out the high voltage but there is arcing somewhere in the connection. Can you look the board in the really dark room to see if you can see any arcing?

Did you test the transformer

Hello Budm,Selldoor,

I didn't see any arcing. I didn't test the transformer. But I can smell ozone and hear an arcing type noise emitting from it. I did desolder it and apply 60/40 solder to the terminals,no change. Thats why I want to replace it. I wouldn't want to sell it doing this.

Thanks As Always,

Hmmm .....

..... Its emitting that ozone smell when turned on. .....

That ozone smell could indicate a broken ccfl ..... Perhaps you'd want to take a look again at the lamps?

Hello All,

This monitor came to me not working correctly. After I opened and repaired the burnt ccfl wires on one set of ccfls, the monitor is now working. Still hear the transformer emitting a screeching noise and making that ozone smell. I then recapped the board except the large one on its side. No change. Removed and re-soldered the transformer with 60/40. No change. So I just need a new transformer and don't want to wait about a month to receive from China.
Does anyone know of a domestic source for such a unit?

Take Care,
lcdman
