Re: Dell 2007FPb No Power, Power and 1 icon (VGA) blinking

Hi all again,

Sorry for long absent.

Here are the pictures (see below).

I have some basic soldering experience.

Any ideas what can be wrong or what should I check first?
Thanks.

If you can even find a shop to do it it will be too expensive.
Retired is right, they'll likely not be willing to do component level repair, so it'll be a board swap *if* they can get one.

I did an Acer 19" monitor last night, took half an hour, and cost about $4.78 for parts.
That's replacing the defective parts, and all the others that may have also been close to failing.

Do you have any soldering experience?

Does anybody know a computer repair shop in Edmonton which can repair Dell monitors as well?

The cost of fixing your monitor is likely to be more than $40/hour for labour + parts. Some repair shops will just do board swaps and not replace individual components.

On the other hand, your problem could be bad capacitors. To get new caps would probably cost around $15 (shipping from digikey.ca is $8 alone) + your time to open the monitor and solder in the new caps.

Sounds like the power supply is having trouble staying up. Could be caps, or a shorted component.

Thanks for the reply. I will take a look on Monday.
I just want to add that Power button does not do anything. I mean, the Power button and 1 icon blinking every 2-3 seconds, but if I push Power button - nothing changes: not picture, Power button and 1 icon still blinking.

There is no picture on the monitor, but power button light and icon number 1

Hookup a working computer displaying your favourite wallpaper to the lcd.

1) If you shine a flashlight onto the lcd, can you see the wallpaper?

2) If you power off and power on, does the backlight come on briefly to display the wallpaper?

3) Please post clear focused pictures of all your boards using the manage attachments button. Please do NOT post inline.

Hi all.

I just tried to use Dell 2007BPb monitor at work and I could not have it working. There is no picture on the monitor, but power button light and icon number 1 (which means VGA) blink every 2-3 seconds (simultaneously). Any ideas where should I start to troubleshoot?

Thanks in advance!
