    Re: No Power Dell U2410 Monitor

    Measured the voltage on the regulator with mainboard disconnected. Pin 5 'vcc' 12.99v and 0v on 'out' pin 3.

      You also have to measure pin 4, which is the Voltage Enable. You must have a voltage applied to pin 4 to turn the regulator on, which in turn produces Voltage Output on pin 3.

        I have a feelings that the MOSFET and the regulator are turn on by the main board when you hit the power switch, need to find that control line, it must be on one of those pins. That may explain why B+2 and B+3 are 0V.

          Thank you @ForensicFixer and @selldoor, yes this large "G" caught my eye too.

          But my warranty is active until January 2014 and I am unable to open it up.
          At list now I am some how prepared of what to expect, thanks again.

            Hi Guys
            I know this will sound a bit basic but I'm still in the early learning phase. I would be grateful if you could bare with me and add any corrections or thoughts.

            I spent a bit of time looking at the low voltage circuits on this board and what is presented at the connector. Looking at the board underside with red wire being pin 1 on left I came to these conclusions.

            Two schotty diodes take take 12.98v and 5.13v off the transformer.
            Pins 5,6,7 are ground.
            All higher numbered pins supply power to the motherboard and thus have heavier tracks.
            Pins 8,9 supply power switched by the mosfet Q930.
            Pin 10 supplies power switched by the AX1202 U930.
            Pins 11-14 supply 5.15 directly from one of the schotty diodes.
            Pin 3, 4 probably control lines, run to the back light inverter.
            Pin 2 control wire to switch on moshet Q930 and regulator U930.
            Pin 1 runs to optoisolator area

            Pins 11-15 are showing 5.15v without load which is probably correct but gets pulled down by the presence of the second board.

            Pin 1 is showing 4.68v (odd value when nothing connected) and it is more than likely a control line running to the optoisolator area which I believe is used to regulate power output.

            So the question is, should it be providing a voltage? and are there any tests I can perform to check this area out.

            All thoughts and corrections much appreciated.

              I will let Budm comment - ( i dont follow circuits too well)
              On a more basic subject, can you check the two fuses (red torpedos) and the Pink
              fusible resistor ( Power off meter on ohms 200) bottom right corner in pic

              After you have checked for continuity can you check the voltage on each side of each
              against an earth screw

              As the problem may be main board related can you do good clear pics of the main board
              front and back.

              I see there are some voltage regulators on the main board if you can locate and check them
              as in here

                Re: No Power Dell U2410 Monitor

                Thanks selldoor

                The torpedo fuses both read 0.1 on 300ohm range, the fusable resistor flashes a different figure each time then goes to infinity.

                Voltages are all zero against ground screw and board powered. Expected this as this side (backlight inverter) only fires up after command from mainboard. At the moment can't get the 5v standby voltage into mainboard.

                I have tested Q930 and U930 can you point out other voltage regulators?

                Have attached the mainboard photos below.

                  What's supplying pin 4 of the U930 regulator?

                    Re: No Power Dell U2410 Monitor

                    You are corect that the first 4 PINS are the control lines, they are more likely to be:
                    >3VDC = ON, 0V (<1V) = OFF
                    PS_ON which will turn on the PFC Vottage booster cricuit.
                    BL_ON for backlignts on.
                    Dim for backlights dimming
                    Last one probably turn on that regulator IC and the MOSFET.

                    All those traces need to be traced out.

                      @jetadm123 a track runs from pin 2 on the under side then through the board just above u930. after feeding pin 4 it runs to R934 just below cap931 (bottom left of earlier picture).

                        Cant read the part numbers so not really I have marked some of what I think are Vrs but could be mosfets you will need to tap the part numbers into your browser and see what they are.
                        I have also marked the two G fuses - might as well check those and on the right there is a yellow rectangular fuse which I think is a resettable - better make sure it has reset( Just test as a normal fuse)

                          After all checks I'm still in the dark.
                          Placed a call onto Dell service where guy said: yeah, we can easely repair all!
                          So maked a 60km trip and than another "Dell" changed picture: yeah, diagnosis is 40eur...
                          Replayed: OK, than when you find component(s) it must be few euros more and more or less is cost.
                          Dell: WTF component means!? I don't even know about soldering - we just replace boards!
                          Me: engine start, 60km back..........

                              Sorry Guys

                              Got side tracked with my paying work!

                              Checked the three fuses all show good. Had previously checked the two regulators on the left. They returned the expected voltage drop but the input voltage was reflecting the pulled down voltage on the 5v line. I have the exact values but their at home and I'm not.

                              I also checked the three zener diodes and transistor situated with the opticouplers. These all returned expected behaviour.

                              My next plan was to supply a known good 5v feed to the main board to at least rule the mainboard out of the equation.

                              Any thoughts regarding the best way forward?

                                Ok applied 5v to pins 1-4 on mainboard, it actually reads 5.06v and remained constant. It drew 2.1 mA and again remained constant. Pressing the power button caused no changes.

                                In selldoor's image left most regulator is u701 and marked as AS1117L-33.
                                Pin1 = 0, Pin2 = 3.31, Pin3 = 5.06 Datasheet shows 3.3 out on pin2 which is correct.

                                Next is u505 marked as AP6260 12 GJFS
                                Pin1 = 0, Pin2 = 1.2, Pin3 = 3.40 Datasheet shows 1.2 out on pin2 which is correct.

                                Far right is u503 marked as AME8815 AECS180
                                Pin1 = 3.40, Pin2 = 0, Pin3 = 1.81 Datasheet shows 1.80 out on pin3 which is correct.

                                I think this puts us back to the power supply??

                                  What if problem is hidden on 3rd board, high voltage for BL control?
                                  Not happy with that!

                                      Sorry for going quiet over Christmas, a busy time here.

                                      But now back to the grind :-;

                                      @selldoor I traced pin2 and found it at this pin marked in red in pictures. What is this component?

                                      I retested the power board with a 24volt 24w bulb on the 5v rail and the supply voltage held steady at 5.14volts.

                                      Attaching the mainboard pulls the voltage down to 3.7v but the recovery to 5.14 is immediate when disconected.

                                        Hi - Probably need Budm or Tom to confirm but I think it is a sot23 mosfet.
                                        I have looked for the markings to try and find a datasheet but no joy.
                                        Perhaps post a pic of it in general electronics forum - someone might recognise.

                                        Note the board markings on it for source drain and gate. - You could always
                                        test it for shorts. Problem could also be with the linked transistor which might
                                        switch on/off the gate?

                                          Hi all!

                                          I have the same u2410 monitor with same issues. Updated earlier to A02 firmware, no help.
                                          I found info from dell site that if you unplug the power cord, press the power button for 10-20+ seconds and plug back, the monitor might start again.
                                          Mine starts with this method, but if I power off, I have to use the same method to get it on again.

                                          I have been trying to figure out the power board, but looks like the issue might be on the mainboards side. Capacitors look fine, no swollen ones anywhere, as I think it could be the reason. HavenĀ“t measured any of them yet, but checked all the diodes, mosfets and resistors, all checked ok.

                                          Anyone with ideas why the "resetting" with power button pressed cures the issue?
                                          After I get the monitor on, it stays on and works flawlessly.

                                          -Pete
