    Dell E177fpv Caps and Ribbon Cable

    Dell E177fpv ...

    The monitor would come on but go off quickly. The two 470ufd 25vdc caps in the inverter circuit were bad, but I had to remove them to test as, in circuit, the ESR meter showed good, probably due to a parallel circuit.

    Anyway, the monitor now works great, but I could not figure out how to remove the Ribbon Cable from the LCD side. I finally wound up removing it from the video board side, which was a pain. I must have wasted an hour between trying to figure out how the remove it from the panel side and then replacing it back on the video board.

    Although I've finished the repair, I am very curious as to how to remove that cable from the panel side. It has what looks like spring clips, but I can't see how they release that cable. Any ideas ??

    Thanks

      For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

          Sorry about not snapping pics when I had it apart. I should have thought of that before I returned it to the owner. If it helps others, the two bad caps are CrapXon 470ufd @25vdc electrolytics closest to the transformer nearest the edge of the power supply board. They're a good distance from any of ther others and will test good - in circuit - with an ESR meter. They are not in parallel !! I replaced them with 680ufd @ 25vdc Nichicon's which were taller and left extra lead so I could bend them over slightly to fit in the same head room.

          As far as the ribbon cable, unless someone has run across that type of ribbon cable connector used in models like it (which I haven't), it probably would be hard to visualize without pictures.

          Again - sorry for the omission

                  T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                  by Tr0ll
                  Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                  The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                  Original T-con:
                  Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                  First replacement T-con:

                  I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                  Need a replacement ribbon cable DELL Latitude E5470
                  by lowpost99@gmail.com
                  Anyone know if the ribbon cables are standard across laptops cases like in a PC, or are they proprietary to each manufacturer? I damaged the one that runs between the MB and the power / HDD / Battery Status Indicator LED Circuit Board. The Dell SKU/DPN: ADM70LED. I just need help finding a replacement. Could I possibly use a similar cable from a donor laptop?

                  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...

                  Samsung UN65TU8000 - Panel Issue [ hole in ribbon cable ]
                  by NWArkGuy
                  Well, I will be the first to admit that I screwed up...

                  In attempting to replace the backlight in a UN65TU8000, I made a hole through one of the ribbon cables between the board that runs along the bottom of the back of the TV and the panel. This lead to a between a 1/4 to 1/2 inch vertical stripe running the full height of the image.

                  I don't have the experience; personally, to solder a bridging wire for the paths that were cut. So, I have been on the hunt for other Samsung TV's of similar size.

                  I have 2 that I have found and have in my possession. ...

                  by master3112
                  I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

                  Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.

                  The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...
