Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
I would say a cold joint on small caps is not common (apart from the ones I solder )
They are usually on larger components that get hot and usually high voltage .On some sets we recommend re flowing the main transformer , inverter transformers , high voltage blue caps, inductors (coils) as a matter of course.
Look on google for pictures of cold joints so you know what to look for and perhaps try to
narrow the search down to a board then funnel the heat with a card tube to try and pin it down to a section. Takes some time but perhaps easier than resoldering and replacing caps at random. Those caps are ok PROVIDING they are not too wide to fit.
I havent looked but panasonic FR or FM would also be good if they are a little cheaper.
Once again if you can try heating just some of the caps to see which ones make a difference to it coming on or not.
Another possibility is using freeze spray to cool certain areas while the set is on and see if it goes off ( more use for bad joints)Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
I have had a look at some cold solder joints. Will inspect the board with a magnifying glass.
The 470uF caps may be too wide. Will check that too.
Thanks for the other advise I think I will try to narrow down which section of the board the issue appears to be in!

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
I would point attention first on the primary side solder joints then the rest, if you don't find anything cracked you could try to heat a bit the thermal resistor with solder iron then power on and see.. it is near the 220vac input connector, if nothing changes change low voltage caps. If you have desire you can first try to power up the monitor with heating and test which voltage you have on the middle pin of the 2 double diodes, since you have 1 only primary output voltage, if is a 12v then you can desolder jumper JW17 and connect an external 12v for test and see what happens.. or at least try to give power to monitor without heating and see if the main voltage on that diodes is present.Last edited by Davi.p; 01-16-2014, 01:32 PM.

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
I have inspected the underside of the board, and have found the attached images.
I have only the research I did on Google to try to identify a 'cold solder joint'.
The first picture shows the component attached, which looks like two items attached either end of a heatsink.
Are these the diodes Davi.p mentions?
Then I have tried to get the best pictures I can of the underside.
I know they are not the clearest images, but do they look like cold solder joints?

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
Hey gentleman, another newbie here. I have an Asus vw246h as well, and I've discovered that my ccfl tubes were broken up top. I decided to buy a set of LED strips with an inverter board from ebay, and I honestly have no idea how to install it. I do know how to solder. I was wondering if you guys could be of assistance?
Here's in for for the led's and board I purchased. I tried following the instructions on the website, but I'm not very good at deciphering broken English .

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
Hi all.
Long time lurker first time poster.
Have same monitor as above with same problem.
Unplugged and will not power on again.Monitor did this back in july but after sitting for a week it worked again until now when i had to kill breakers to replace outlet.
When I plug it in, power light will flash once and thats it. if i unplug and replug right away it will not flash. If I wait a minute to replug it will flash again.
I replaced all caps with new panasonics even the main big cap and it still does the same thing.
I have 157 volts on big cap (Im in the USA).
I have checked all diodes and resistors(still in circuit, ya i know) and they appear ok.
I have not pulled and checked the mosfet(Q601) yet.
On the 12 pin connector I have some strange voltages when checking to ground lug on board.
Pin numbers and voltages below.
1 45v ac
2 45v ac
3 unused
4 unused
5 45v ac
6 45v ac
7 45v ac
8 45v ac
9 unused
10 45v ac
11 45v ac
12 6.5v ac
I have nothing as far as DC volts on any pins.
Can any of you gurus advise me on what I should check next.
My father was an electronics engineer and I worked in his place for a while so I do have a little knowlage.
I am also certified in soldering so thats not an issue.
He passed away a few years ago and i have nobody to repair this for me anymore.
Thanks for any help or insight you can give me.
Here are some pics of board i replaced the caps.

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
Hi Hammer034,
I just fixed my Asus VW246H. It had periods when it would not turn on until it had a rest for a few days. It finally failed to turn back on after a black out in our area. I checked the power supply board and had the same 5v DC voltages at the connector to the main board as you indicated. On the main board I found a 3.3V regulator (G1084-33) this had 5v coming in but no 3.3v going out. So after replacing this regulator my monitor is working.
I hope this will help you.
Cheers.

I will look into it.
You say this is on the mainboard and not the power supply board,correct.
I will update after checking.
thanx

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
Hi folks,
I'm facing the same issue with the Asus VW246H monitor. Power on works only every now and then. I followed the indications in this forum and the conclusion is that the voltage regulator (G1084-33) sometimes gives 3.3V sometimes does not hence I'm going to replace it with a similar chip easier to find on the market (AP1084-33) but...... I'm wondering if also the other power chip marked (see pict) 210138LA M819272B could be part of the power failure and so worth of replacing. Though, after extensive research I've not been able to identify this part.
Any hint will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Luke

The second regulator if my memory serves me right takes the 3.3V and puts out 1.2V that the push buttons use. So if the 3.3V regulator isn't working you will not get the 1.2V.

Hi, thanks for reply, indeed in a rare moment of functioning of the 3.3V reg I was able to discover that that chip put out 1.2V .... at moment I've ordered abroad the compatible parts (5A 3.3V regulator and 1.3A 1.2V regulator) plus all the 6 caps installed on the board just to make sure. Waiting delivery.
thanks

Re: Asus VW246H will not power on
Hi all,
Similar problem here with my VW246H.
For quite a while it's had problems with turning back on when switched off (either by the power button or the mains).
Dealt with it for a while by just leaving it on standby all the time but finally had to turn the mains off and now can't power up.
When I plug in the AC cable there is a very brief flicker on the power LED but nothing else, did the tests from above and am getting 5v through the same pins as others to the mainboard, both 3.3V and 1.2V regulators test ok.
Any other thoughts? It's a pretty old monitor at this point and probably just going to replace but thinking it might be worth a shot if it's an easy fix.
