    Re: Viewsonic VG191b

    Sorry I can't get photos until tomorrow night. Fuse is soldered on and is a mustard color. will try my best to look at this board with a ohm meter....but first I will try to look inside power supply that is on the power cord

    Pictures? Pictures!!!

    What does this fuse look like?

    Fuses may go bad by themselves. OR some other component is drawing too much current and causing the fuse to blow.

    Replacing the fuse without testing other components like transistors or FETs for shorts is likely to blow the fuse.

    If I'm thinking like Rtech, I suspect you may have a blown fuse or a shorted transistor on the inverter board.

    Thus, you will need a multimeter to test.

    The power supply is external, The inveter board is a long narrow rectangle.
    Is there a reset function for this viewsonic?
    Any way to check the bulbs.?

    I will try to post pics tommorow night.

    I assume that,'the power supply being on the power cord',means its an external adaptor ??If that is the case,and as requested by retired Caps, you take some photos,ensure very clear ones are taken of the Inverter board(this is usually rectangular, smallish,and the Screen lamps plug into it.

    When you turn on the LCD, do you see the backlight flash on briefly? Or is it just black?

    The answer matters because it tells us which direction to look for problems.

    Post clear focused pictures AFTER reading

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1868

    Please do not post pictures inline.

    Take your boards to a window on a sunny day, turn flash off, and use macro mode. Take a top down view of all your boards (front and back). Make sure the photo is legible so that we can read the PCB printing clearly. A shutter speed of 1/125 or faster will produce nice clear focus pictures. Try to get a photo that is 2000x2000 resolution or as close as possible.

    Here is an example of the pictures we want.

    started a topic Viewsonic VG191b

    Viewsonic VG191b

    Hi,

    I'm new here with very limited electronic exp. (electronic techs help me out at work).

    I picked up this veiwsonic from the curb. Power light stays on but no screen at all. I opened it up and everything looks good. The power supply is on the power cord. No bulging caps at all.
    Any ideas on where to start with this one?

    Thanks

    Samsung UE70TU6905 BACKLIGHTS AND SOUND ON NO PICTURES BUT SCREEN NOT DARK
    by bohaboha
    Hi it looks like everything works don't know where to test except the 390v in the 2 capacitor in the hot side of the power supply and the weird 180v in the diodes in the cold side that should be discharged it is writin on the circuit no more you can read what is written on the circuit quite srrange color mixiing yellow and white
    anyhow i couldn't t read anything else
    the backlight is on strong and the screen does not get dark or very dark but no pictures
    the mainborad feels a bit hott on the black part i test it to 52 degree's against 34 to 40 on the rest of it

    LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
    by valvashon
    The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
    Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...

    Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
    by lostone
    Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

    First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
    When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...

    SVOD4 PCB pictures + parts
    by 2elw
    Hey, I find it very absurd that the SVOD4 costs so much and has zero documentation. I had no other choice than to buy it to unlock ECs, if there was any documentation or firmware avalible I could've made it or something simmilar. Anyways here are some of the most important parts:

    STM32H723VGT6 MCU - It's a microcontroller by STMicroelectronics and its the whole brain of the SVOD4. It has flash memory for the firmware which can be updated by the SVOD4 program. Its also powered by the AMS117 which converts 5v into 3.3V. 7€ on AliExpress.
