family friend fixed the whining, by bending the psu straight again. Replacement of that bent cap didn't stop it. When I get it back from him I'll try it in my monitor. Failing that, I think it's eBay time...

If you haven't done so already just double check that all the connectors are plugged in. I had to disassemble twice as I had forgotten to re-connect some connectors. There are quite a few to remember. I hope this is the case for your sake. It's been a marathon so we are all cheering you on to the finish line.

Unfortunately not. I had a look on the PCB and it looks like my friend has replaced the wrong schtokky

G'day all,

I have a 3007 which doesn't power up.

Is there a thread for this model? I haven't been able to find one. There seems to be heaps of info on the 3008 but not much on the earlier model.

I tested the 3 Schottkys I could find in-circuit and they seem to be OK.

I'd be grateful for any assistance.

Cheers

Hello, and welcome to badcaps.

It would definitely be better to start up a new thread on your monitor. That way anybody in the future could find your Dell 3007 in the search, and it would prevent confusion from anybody looking for Dell 3008 info in this thread.

It helps to be specific in the title. Example......

Dell 3007wfp - no power led - does not turn on

Basically....just give a nice short description including the exact model

Cheers

Thanks for the advice,

I was a bit surprised that there was so much info on the 3008 and very little on the 3007.

Tried replacing a comparable Schottky on mine and blew the house earth leakage detector.

Sigh - think I'm going to need all the help I can get!

What's the electronics version of girding the loins? Grabbing a hold of your toroids maybe?

Cheers
