    failed ccfl

    When one of the lamps the invertor will shutdown when it senses the bad ccfl . I have found that a .01 uf 1000v cap can be subsituted for the lamp and the invertor will continue to function . On displays with 4 lamps the missing lamp is not noticable .

        I realized that and appreciate it. I wanted to see a picture of the workaround and see where/how you inserted the cap.

          Hmmm doesn't sound like too good an idea to me. How do you control the current?

            A CCFL exhibits a negative resistance curve.

            The inverter is designed to maintain a constant current output.

            I'd be interested in how warm the cap gets after the monitor has been on for an hour or more.

              I think perhaps this would be good for a temporary workaround just to test the other ccfls? Maybe I should go back and retest my lcd to see if all the lamps are really bad or just one or two. Could make quite a difference in repair costs. Thanks for your post.

                I cliped the connector and soldered the cap to the connector leads and used heat shrink tubing for installation . I ran the monitor for over an hour and the cap remained cool . The display was a 22 inch with 4 lamps I could not see any degradation of the display .

                  HANNSG Hi221 -- 2 secs to black feat. CCFL flicker & "burn" marks on power board
                  by ttmi100x
                  Greetings everyone,


                  I have a HANNSG Hi221 monitor that exhibits two seconds to black issues (backlight goes off, display is still on as confirmed by shining a flashlight on it) with some additional oddities...


                  The monitor failed on me with a standard "2 seconds to black" some time ago prompting me to initially replace most of the electrolytic capacitors (some of them were bulging/leaking).
                  Things kinda sorta worked for a night, then the problem returned along with some flickering and "buzzing" noises.

                  Upon closer inspection...

                  Help on Samsung Syncmaster T220 dead ccfl lamp
                  by mikey5791
                  Hi,

                  This monitor previously is my main working monitor which i have been using for 8~9 years. Yesterday, when i switched on my pc from fresh to power on, the monitor is just black no display. I started dismantle to look inside the monitor power board but nothing looks suspicious or burnt. So i took my external ccfl inverter to try to power the monitor ccfl lamps which consisted of 2 lamps on upper part and 2 lamps on the lower part.

                  Found out the upper ccfl lamp which is supposed to connect to cn304 on the power board did not light up. Then i installed a used working...

                  Epson 5040UB Projector No Lamp Strike Stuck in Startup - Blinking Status/Lamp Lights
                  by vestaviascott
                  Hoping someone here can put me on the right track. I'm trying to troubleshoot/flowchart the "internal projector error" on my newly acquired Facebook Marketplace bought Epson 5040UB projector (3LED, not DLP). Owner said it needed new lamp, actually error code blink pattern indicates "Internal Projector Error, call Epson support". Unit is out of warranty as of 8/19

                  Here's what happens:

                  1) Power on
                  2) Blue power indicator lights and the lens cover motor opens the lens cover, light fan noise heard
                  3) Blue status light flashes for appx 4 minutes...

                  BenQ TH681 Originally overheating now wont fire the lamp - Colour wheel not starting
                  by AJ847.63e
                  Hi All.

                  Does anyone have any reference materials or something I can use to try troubleshooting a BenQ TH681? Google unfortunately has turned up zip. I did find a service manual for a W series BenQ but that is pretty much useless, it's more a glorified user manual. A list of voltages would be great as I suspect my mainboard is faulty, the colour wheel voltage is not dipping like it should.

                  The one I am troubleshooting now was originally overheating after a lamp replacement. It originally would take 2 minutes or so for it to shut off and blink the temp and lamp lights...

                  Samsung Syncmaster 943B problem
                  by falcontech
                  Hello
                  I have a problem with a samsung 943B, initially thinking it was a power problem i replaced the power board which is a bn44-00082e, i had a flashing of the ccfl lamps and the monitor would not start, i replaced the power board and the problem is remained, thinking they were the lamps I tested them with a ccfl lamp tester and they are all working, at this point I think it is the main board which is a BN41-01172B, my question is, before making a further purchase there is a way to turn on the lamps without the main board to exclude that the new power board is also broken? Of course without...
