    Try re soldering it.


    There is a possibility that the resolution setting is wrong, on the laptop you are using
    Can you get a hold of a desktop computer and recheck the B.L. on siginal.
    To rule out all possibilities use a vga siginal and do not rely on the LCD rom as a siginal.

      Okay. I am resoldering and will move to a desktop.

        Same result on a desktop. I get 3.25+ and then it goes to zero. My solder job is not too pretty, but it is what it is.

          The logic board has 10 caps on it. They all look normal, but I guess that does not say much.

            with the LCD hooked up to the desktop,re check for a immage with a flashlight.

              No the image is not there with a flashlight either.
              Thanks.

                To me it's sounding like a logic card problem, Can you verify 5v is coming into and staying there on the three pins of the logic card, It might also be best to use the ground pins on the logic card for your DMM ground.

                  Yes, the three pins on the logic card are showing 5.25v on each of the three pins using the related grounding pins on the logic card. I too believe it all points to the logic card.

                    Can you check the voltage regulators on the logic card?

                      With the Power Supply/Inverter ONLY,ie NO Logic Card.Plug in all lamps,put approx 3volts from an external battery,between the BKLT ENable pin and the GND Pin on the Board,and then switch the Mains on...Does the Lamps light for a lot longer then when everything is normal ??????/

                        Re: Dell 1905FP Powers on then black

                        I do not know what a voltage regulator looks like, or how to test it.

                        I also do not know how to bypass the logic card and supply 3volts to backlight enable.

                        I have reached the limits of my abilities. I am going to close this panel up and consider this one finished. I have learned much, and do appreciate all the help and support each of you have provided. Thanks again.

                          i have this same monitor found it in dumpster when i hook it up to my desktop and power it on the lamps in it light up and the power stays on green light does not go off it does not show anything on the screen no self diagnostic nothing unhooked from the pc same thing nothing on screen does not show no signal message like most of them i opened it up all the caps in it look ok the caps are capxon 470uf 35v kf c440 don't know if these are known to be junk or not i don't think its the power supply how do you test the voltage regulators on the logic card do you just take them out of circuit and see if they are bridged

                            After the second line, I gave up reading. I can't understand where one thought begins and ends.

                            Please try to use some proper punctuation.

                              You might want to supply some photos of your power board. We have to see what your seeing. And don't treat your responses like one continuous text message.

                                I have learned a few things since I last opened up the panel. I am getting 5v and 10 volts on the voltage regulator. I have ordered new caps for the image card and the IPS, but they will not arrive for a few days. Anything else I can test before hand?

                                  That voltage reads 3.25 when the panel is turned on and the backlights light up and then drops to zero in two seconds.
                                  I am trying to review things. The monitor will power on and we see a 2 second to black problem .The 5 volts stays constant to the logic board. We see a good backlight on signal when the backlights are on, but when the backlights go off the backlight on signal goes to a low voltage, and no image is visible at any time when a bright light is shined at the LCD screen.
                                  To me it is looking like logic board is not recognizing a valid video signal. I do not think you are measuring the voltage regulators correctly.
                                  If my interpretation of you problem is correct and the next test we should do is verify proper operation of the voltage regulators, I am going to ask one of the other members to guide you through it.

                                    To test a voltage regulator, put your black probe on a ground screw and your red probe on pin 1. Then move the red to pin 2 and finally pin 3.

                                    For a part number like AS1117-33, the 33 indicates an output voltage of 3.3V DC. An AS1117-18 would output 1.8V DC.

                                    Getting 5V probably indicates the incoming voltage. Getting 10V is a very strange number. It could indicate a voltage regulator failing "high".

                                    So list, measure, and report the results here.

                                        The voltage regulator is AC 1084-33 0547GL.
                                        Thanks.

                                          The readings for the voltage regulator look fine for part 1084-33. The 0V DC is the adj pin according to the datasheet.

                                            Hello,

                                            YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

                                            I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

                                            On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

                                            I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

                                            I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

                                            I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

                                            Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                                            by Bowline
                                            My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                                            Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                                            My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                                            The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
                                            I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

                                            good morning all,

                                            i purchased a used dell e6540 laptop used 10 months ago from a vendor on ebay. intel i-7 processor, 16 gb ddr3 memory, 256 gb ssd., mobo la-9413p (rev 1.0 dated 2014-08-04). i've inflicted no damage on it since purchase but its past is unknown. starting 2 weeks ago it began to fail to boot (initially 9 of 10 boot attempts failed, now 10 of 10 fail). there was no new hardware or software added (i was using as a kodi video server). the post process doesn't complete and booting no longer displays the dell logo screen - screen remains black with no backlight. some other...
