When one of the lamps the invertor will shutdown when it senses the bad ccfl . I have found that a .01 uf 1000v cap can be subsituted for the lamp and the invertor will continue to function . On displays with 4 lamps the missing lamp is not noticable .

Re: failed ccfl
I realized that and appreciate it. I wanted to see a picture of the workaround and see where/how you inserted the cap.Originally posted by chetreynolds View Post--- begin sig file ---

Re: failed ccfl
Hmmm doesn't sound like too good an idea to me. How do you control the current?36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....Comment

A CCFL exhibits a negative resistance curve.Originally posted by smason View Post
The inverter is designed to maintain a constant current output.
I'd be interested in how warm the cap gets after the monitor has been on for an hour or more.

Re: failed ccfl
I think perhaps this would be good for a temporary workaround just to test the other ccfls? Maybe I should go back and retest my lcd to see if all the lamps are really bad or just one or two. Could make quite a difference in repair costs. Thanks for your post.Originally posted by chetreynolds View PostComment

Re: failed ccfl
I cliped the connector and soldered the cap to the connector leads and used heat shrink tubing for installation . I ran the monitor for over an hour and the cap remained cool . The display was a 22 inch with 4 lamps I could not see any degradation of the display .Comment
