Hi all got a small problem with my 21" hp monitor
First thought inverter board had a bad transformer as there are three to run 6 lamps but they all tested ok so next suspected lamps bingo middle two (which i have circled in yellow) not working or maybe just one of the two as i connected 2 lamps externally and screen worked fine on 4 lamps with an adjustment to the brightness .
I know i will have to replace one top and one bottom to balance it out but until i have sorted out another monitor so i can fully strip it down to measure bulb length and replace i have heard i can use a resistor across the connections to make monitor run .
My questions are 1 is it possible and 2 if so what size resistor should i use ,
this would only be a temp measure until i get sorted .
Any input welcome thanks in advance
