Re: DCLLCD DCL7A - quick flash of the back lights only
I replaced Q11 & Q12 and was able to get from just a flash of light to basically 2 seconds to black. The lights would stay on for varying lengths of time and there was a distinct arcing sound with the original ccfls and known good ccfls.
I removed both transformers and found the secondary winding of transformer 1 to be non conductive. I'm not sure if this occurred during the removal process or not since all 4 ccfls were working when the monitor was exhibiting the 2 seconds to black. It's probably not worth the cost of a replacement transformer for a 17" monitor.
