LCM-22w3 new board, but display problems

Re: LCM-22w3 new board, but display problems

And this is how capitalism works! The manufacturer screws the customer over, so the customer has to buy a new product every few years.

GOOOOOOO CAPITALISM!!

Also, poor cheaply made products! Nothing like getting electronics with capacitors that are not meant to survive but a single day outside of the warranty!

Hahhaah!

Thanks for all of your help though ahead of time. This has been a super frustrating issue to me but just knowing that people are giving advice and helping has made it a lot more bearable.

Re: LCM-22w3 new board, but display problems

A linux boot CD I dont think would change anything, as I honestly dont believe this is a windows problem at this point. I mean, its a generic pnp monitor without drivers, and since windows relies on the EDID data being correct, which it isnt, all of it points to the monitor being the issue

The thing is that for example WinXP can be forced to run at a specific resolution and ignore the EDID data. Linux might be able to do that too. This doesn't work on Vista and 7 though (no way to force them to ignore EDID data).

That's probably why he suggested trying a linux boot CD.


Also.. I kinda wonder if it would be possible to read out the EDID data from another 22" 1680x1050 LCD and write it to yours..? I don't see what could prevent it from working that way as long as the resolution matches, considering the stuff in most LCD monitors is compatible enough that you can for example swap LCD panels with the same resolution without caring about the manufacturer or looking at datasheets. Done that countless times before.. lol

I can most definitely FORCE the correct resolution onto the monitor and it will work, the problem lies when it doesnt have the correct timing and shit and cant make the fonts look nice and whatnot. Because it HONESTLY believes that it is a 17inch acer.

Though, yeah, I FIGURE I could get the EDID data from another 22in monitor and write it to mine without any real issue I guess - problem is I would need the software to write to the monitor and possibly need some sort of connection or EEPROM programmer to do so. Which I dont think software will be able to do through, lets just say, a DVI cable.

I got home but havent been able to take screenies of the monitor yet. Will probably take it apart in a bit if Im not too whipped from work...

SOLVED: LCM-22W3
This monitor has defective capacitors. A company in Taiwan tried to duplicate Japanese but got the stolen formula wrong. The write up identifying which caps and repair is next:

I need my Westinghouse LCM-22W3 LCD fixed but BadCaps will not reply via "Request Repair Service" on http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php...ouse-lcm-22w3/

This is delicate work and I don't want to risk making a mistake on something which I don't do even though I understand it. Why don't BadCaps respond?

They do the recap for the mother board.

"but BadCaps will not reply via "Request Repair Service" on http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php...ouse-lcm-22w3/" I do not see what Badcaps has to do with CCL-LA.COM.

Wrong. I requested repair "Request Repair Service" on https://www.badcaps.net/index.php?pageid=request last week and still I have not seen a reply. The ccl-la.com page showed you how to repair it youself along with the bad caps replacements and at the bottom of the page referred BadCaps for repair.

I don't need my PC motherboard caps replaced. I need my LCD monitor caps replaced. The "CCFL-LA service request form" fields do not come up for monitor repair. So I tried to register on CCFL-LA and it told me my email address CarmanASgro@earthlink.net is blacklisted as a spammer? I had spam on a previous Earthlink address and I changed my email address a couple of months ago. My computer had been going berserk with tabs opening and closing and programs opening where I lost the ability to control the mouse. So I rebooted and did deep scan with Eset and Outpost. Eset didn't find anything but OutPost firewall found two trojans in a complete system scan Monday and I blocked a SVCHOST.exe outbound request after I came home and took my browser off of offline mode. I have not had any problems since but with the unauthorized outbound request I think there is a part of the Trojan still on my computer. This is the first time I've seen the following message while trying to register.

http://www.ccl-la.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=register
Your IP 66.167.250.169 has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://search.atlbl.com/search.php?q=66.167.250.169.

An entry on the blaklist may have several reasons:
1. You are a well-known spammer.
2. Last time a well-known spammer was using the dynamic IP address which you got from your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
3. Your ISP is well-known for a lot of spamming customers and is not fighting against spammers.

Like I said Badcaps.net has no association with CCL-LA. Badcaps only does MOTHER board recap, it said so if you read the description of what kind of services BADCAPS PERFORMS " If you would like to send your motherboard in for recapping,", BADCAPS DOES NOT DO MONITOR board recap service.
