    Viewsonic VE700 slight ripple across screen

    Hello to all,

    I'm working on the above monitor, and everything is working relatively well, except that I get a slight (difficult to notice) ripple across the screen every 3 or 4 seconds. It's not the inverter, because I have a spare inverter and A/D board for this model, and after chaning the A/D board, the ripple was gone.

    Could this be the scalar xtal oscillator? I don't have a scope, so I can't measure the output.

    Thanks!

    2nd observation: Ripple goes away after about 10 minutes. Solder warming up?

      i had exact same problem on my lg flatron monitor,dissappeard after bout 10mins,checked monitor,all was good there,and narrowed it down to the video card on my pc tower,it turn out to be a cap,16v 470uf i think ,which was swollen,after replacing the 2 that was on there,bingo!,job done,but also the problem could be a dry joint,if not try resoldering inverter joints 1st,hope this helps.
      fixed so far...376 lg lcd tv's,24 onn tv;s,24 panasonic lcd,16 jvc lcd,12 marshall jcm800 amps,refurb of various disco equipment lighting,old style disco decks ,and a flymo!

        i'm thinking caps on the LCD controller board ("A/D board"). probably dried up or something..

          Thanks for the feedback guys. It's not my video card, because my other monitors do not display this symptom, so I'll do some resoldering on the controller board, see if that helps.

            PlainBill has mentioned in other threads that ESR drops as capacitors warm up. That could still be the caps on the logic board.

              Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
              by Ryan.man
              Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

              My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

              This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

              iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
              by smic717394
              Hi,

              I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

              Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
              by Chrissygizmo
              Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
              I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

              Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
              by spice_disc
              I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

              The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

              ipad pro 9.7" blew a SMD component while replacing the screen 🤦‍♂️
              by ipatch
              i have an ipad pro 9.7" (1st gen) A1674 where i replaced the screen, but never attached the screen to the frame/chassis (glued down) due to the ipad being previously dropped so the new screen would never fit in the frame properly. so i need flex/bend the chassis to eventually fix the new screen in properly. so i temporarily just applied blue tape around the edges of the screen to keep it in place. when watching videos with the ipad the screen started flicker, so i though maybe the new quasi cheap amz screen i purchased was going out. so i disconnected then reconnected with power still on,...
