Re: HP 2509M Monitor - no display

Ok, I have decided to replace the broken tube and resurect this poor hp monitor. The tubes are 569.9125mm from glass end to glass end. As best as I can tell the diameter is 3mm. I dont think a direct replacement is available as I dont see anything near 569/570mm in length for a tube.

At ccflwarehouse closest I get and not overshooting is 535mm. This would leave 3/4 inch short on each side.

They show a diameter of 2.6 with a length of 565. Now thats only 4mm short. Is the diameter going to make that much difference in brightness or whatever?

I would hate to think I have to have these custom made. I have never ordered tubes before so I lack the experience in replacing them. Any help is appreciated here.

I think that your questions would be better answered by ccflwarehouse. Other members have reported they are very helpful and are better qualified at answering your questions.

I have used the following e-Bay auction and in the payment, put the information that they request and list the actual LENGTH and DIAMETER of the ccfl that you want to replace (3.0mm x 570mm). I usually order 2, just in case I break one (I haven't yet) because the shipping for the second one is free. $13 for 1 ccfl and $21 for 2.

Thank you for the ccfl tube recommendation. Im going to get something ordered up today. Need to get this monitor completed.

I certainly understand ordering 2 tubes. Im sure it was I that broke the tube in this monitor by accident. Really got upset and had to leave the shop for awhile to cool off

Saw one of these 2509m monitors for sale on ebay for parts. They were asking around 65 bucks for it. Because of the size I was thinking this would be a shipping nightmare.?

Thanks again,

Re: HP 2509M Monitor - no display

Ordered in two 2.6mm x 565mm tubes and 8 endcaps. In talking to them its more important to get as close to the diameter of the tube then the size. I have also read to try and stay about 5mm within the size of the tube but not going over the original size.

As soon as I can get these (nebraska ---> Indiana) from ccflwharehouse.com I can finish the repair and be done with it.

Thanks again for all the advice from everyone. This certainly made a great beginner project for repairing monitors. Since the monitor is somewhat expensive it was worth the money. I see they sell for about 225.oo or so.

ccflwarehouse.com also sells them pre-harnessed in addition to bare lamps. Pre-harnessed is more expensive, but easier to install.

Thanks

Re: HP 2509M Monitor - no display

I was able to repair the power board but buying and trying to install the tubes was a bear. I learned that its best to just send the tubes in and have a place do it for you.

The monitor is not working as I couldnt find the right length tubes to put in it. So, I do have a working screen (minus the tubes), working power board and such.

I think that you can get it working but send in the light tubes plus assemblies and have a company do the repair on them so you can get them back and just install them.

Best of luck,
