Acer AL1916

Re: Acer AL1916

Order replacements for the Elite.
If they aren't shot yet they will be soon enough.

Next check for a blown fuse on the yellowish PCB.

I used the search function inside the service guide with "fuse" and it came up next to "F901", and if I look at the yellow board F901 is a little red box with 3 pins. I was expecting some sort of tube shaped component with one pin on each end.

Aside from that none of the components actually look damaged.

Hi,

after reading a blog post I dug out my Acer AL1916 from my closet in hopes of possibly fixing it. The reason I had stopped using it in the first place is that one morning when I got up I tried to turn it on and neither the power LED or the screen itself would light up.

So like I said I dug it out plugged it in and no surprise here, nothing happened. Now I've already checked the capacitors and I believe all of them are in order, I didn't see any bulging near the top for those that had slits and for those that didn't I couldn't see any obvious bulging either.

Aside from that I have no clue. I am completely oblivious to anything electronic/electric which is why I came here (the bad capacitor suggestion was made by someone on another, more software oriented, forum).

Here I uploaded pictures of the circuit boards inside the monitor. Also, I'm not sure if this can be of any help:

It's an Acer Service Guide for this model (I assumed it was the right one, there are multiple variants of the AL1916 model but this particular guide was the only one to have pictures of the circuit board that matched mine).

P.S: This is probably not important but if I connect the monitor to my laptop's VGA port, the laptop's display flickers to a different resolution.
