    Re: Acer AL1916W

    Also, what are the part numbers of

    IC201 and IC202 (top side)

    U101 and probably U102 (the other legged IC on the bottom side)

    edit: And measure the resistance of the inverter transformer pins S1 to S2 and S3 to S4 (in circuit - power OFF and LCD unplugged) as per

    http://lcdparts.net/TransformerDetai...ProductID=3360

    Both should read around 650 ohms.

      I just finished replacing all the bad caps since I got the new ones today and still no power to the lights. LCD works, image shows up, green power light comes on, just no juice to the lights..
      on the back side of the board,Is f200 good?

      Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

        IC201 and 202 have this p/n:
        P605
        BZ6G1S

        U101 and 102 have this p/n:
        B U3
        PC817

        As for measuring resistance of the S1 - S2, and S3 - S4.. How do I know which contacts those are? Mine are not labeled, not sure if they normally are.

        F200 looks fine, but I am not sure what a bad one looks like, doesnt seem to have any damamge to it though.

            S1 - S4 are the outside pins of the transformers.

            To measure a fuse, put your multimeter on ohms (probably 200 ohms). Put black on one side, red on the other side of F200.

            A good fuse should read 0.3 ohms. If it reads "1" or 0L, it is an open fuse (blown).

            edit: BTW, that is a good catch on finding F200. I never expected to see a fuse on the bottom side on a board. Normally they are on the front side.

                Are you talking about the transformer? If yes, the transformer is likely good. This test doesn't catch a shorted turn on the transformer, but let's assume it is good for now.

                  There was a explanation given for manufactures using the small surface mount fuses. To keep the everyday user from thinking if 2a is good then 4a must be better, I think it was plainBill.
                  A lot of the delta boards use them .F200 is important to check because it supplies power to the back light controller.

                    Still a great catch on spotting F200. I would have looked on the front side PCB forever.

                    Also for all the newbies and first time posters, this is a good example why clear focused pictures are required. If this were some fuzzy, out of focus, 800x600 pic, we (Al) would have never spotted this fuse.

                      You guys are awesome! When I test the F200 fuse should I have it off the board, or will it test properly still soldered on?

                        In circuit is fine.

                          When I test one direction I get 0L, and the other way continuously climbs from 2.4k Ohm up. Blown fuse? I will replace it tomorrow morning after checking back later with you all.

                            Yes, blown. It should read 0.3 ohms. If that is the root cause, you can give a big thanks to alexanna. There is no way, I would have seen that fuse. I will remember to look for that in the future though.

                                You might want to check IC201 and IC202 for shorts. Apparently, this board is prone to one of those chips failing. Replace them in pairs. Part number is AOP605 and available from digikey for under $1.00 each.

                                    Agreed.

                                    You can test for shorted transistors "in circuit" (with power off and unplugged)

                                    a) put black probe (com) on pin 1 and red probe on pin 2 - read ohm
                                    b) put black probe (com) on pin 1 and red probe on pin 3 - read ohm
                                    c) put black probe (com) on pin 2 and red probe on pin 3 - read ohm

                                    If any ohm reading is less than 40 ohm you probably have a shorted transistor and it will need to be replaced. Test it out of circuit to verify.

                                        You are correct. I'm getting my threads all mixed up (have 7 tabs open right now). Ignore my previous instructions.
