Samsung Syncmaster 2232BW screen goes totally white

[j3thr0]

Hello, first time posting here. I hope I get some good help!

My Samsung Syncmaster 2232BW was having problems starting up some time ago, and I figured it was the capacitors that were faulty. So, I bought myself a few new capacitors and a solder iron to try and change them. Unfortunately, due to me being a miser, I bought the cheapest solder iron I could find and it was appalling. I probably destroyed the PCB with that piece of junk.

So, the result of my attempted DIY is an LCD monitor that starts up just fine (an improvement, I guess), but shows nothing but pure white. My question is, can my monitor be fixed any more? Or have I permanently destroyed it? I'm really hoping that it's just bad soldering and that it can be fixed without too much more hassle.

I appreciate any advice I can get!

Buy a hammer?


Check that you have connected ALL the leads
Take off the one to the screen and then replace it.
Which boards were you working on
can you post pictures.


Welcome to the forum-
We can help a lot more if you please post good clear pictures of the whole chassis, and then pictures of each board, front and back (in the same orientation) and close up of connectors, (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) using the manage attachments button, which is found by clicking "go advanced" under quick reply.

Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

I took it apart and resoldered everything, with fresh batteries in my solder iron. It works perfectly now!! I guess the soldering was just terrible and the contacts weren't made well. Thanks to you guys for replying! It's great having such quick responses. =D
