Got another batch of 5 monitors on Fri, including one I fixed before 
A Benq that was dead, now has 2 secs to black... saving that for later.
This Dell 1707 looks a lot like the 1703, I've always liked these, nice sharp panels, USB ports, swivelling height adjustable base.
I figured I'd either fix it, or steal parts to fix the 1703 on my waiting for parts pile.
Well this one may LOOK like the 1703, but inside it's totally different.
Once you get it apart (pain in the ass) it has the usual power supply/inverter with bloated Capxon KF series. Not nearly as well-made looking as the 1703 was.
The inverter board connects to the main board with a cable that doesn't disconnect from the power board, and I'm too lazy to remove the main board, particularly since I can't find my nut driver that fits VGA nuts.
I do a total recap,. juggling the board with cable attached, including 2 small ones 4.7 and 10 @ 50.
2 of the heat sinks have compound on the top where the scre to the metal case, and I manage to get it all over me.
Since it was dead dead, not even flashing a light, I check the fuse, the fets, etc. before re-assembling enough to test. Everything looks good.
Plug it in, and up comes the red green blue white test display. Wohooo!
It's on test for a while, but should be good to go.
