Re: Gateway FPD2185W
Well wishful thinking did not prevail here. The re-cap was not successful. The monitor is still doing the two seconds to black routine. I took apart the panel and found some of the ccfls with the LV wires nearly burned off and black bands at the ends of the ccfl tubes. So I guess I am looking at a total lamp replacement on this one. Wrog, do you remember what the out the door price was for the lamps and all assorted wiring/end caps? I found the lamp you mentioned on ebay from ccfl warehouse. Did you order the end caps/wiring seperately? Or did they allow you to do it all in one order/shipment? I also did not see the triple end cap on their website, only a single.
