    CCFL Tester

    Is there a set of instructions for building a CCFL Tester? I'm thinking of something to plug a set of lights (2) pulled from a monitor to check to see if they are working.
    Have you ever stopped to think and then forget to start thinking again?

    As a very wise man once said on this forum: "Of all the things I have lost I miss my mind the most."

    Some people have adapted CCFL computer case light power supplies for that. They're cheap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16800888071

    A monitor with a broken panel works okay. lcdparts.net has adapter and extension cables.

          Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
          by DanPoka
          I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
          Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
          This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

          AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
          by wattage
          Hello Badcaps Community,

          I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

          The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

          HP 27es - LED monitor - Monitor Flashing On - Off
          by ant3202
          Hi Everyone

          Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...lashing-on-off

          The monitor is HP 27es LED Monitor

          The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.
          Sometimes need to power and off again to restore the display but...

          LG 23MP55HQ LED Monitor turns off after a few seconds or flickers.
          by Rick_1234
          Good evening, gentlemen.

          I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.

          To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.

          Wise Wing F199 19'' LCD monitor - recapped
          by momaka
          Looking through my repair pictures and notes, it's been a long time since I posted anything in the LCD monitors section. So here goes that.

          I'm dedicating this thread to one of the very first LCD monitors I repaired (if not the first one), which was more than 10 years ago now. The monitor is a Wise Wing, model F199. It's a 19” CFL-backlit LCD. I got it for free off of Craigslist in 2009 from a guy, who said he bought it for cheap from Wallmart and the monitor worked only for a little less than 2 years before quitting.

          When I saw the Craigslist post, I wasn't...
