    Optiquest(Viewsonic)Q19WB Qty 2

    The faults are located on the PSU/Inverter Boards.The Manual can be found at:
    http://www.electronica-pt.com/index....tdown/id,4123/

    CCFLs were tested using a test power supply and are fine.The test CCFL's were also tested to ensure they could be used, and they were fine as well.Various faults have already been repaired on the Power Supply,including Caps LP1337 etc,and all the Secondary voltages now read as they shoud
    Board 1)
    a)The Board was connected to the Logic card,and the Control panel,with the test Lamps.The PC was plugged into the Logic card,but not switched on initially.
    b)On applying Mains Power,Both Power led and the Lamps were pulsing in sympathy with each other AND with no ON signal appled,as the PC was still off.

    Board 2)
    a)Set up as is in (a) above,Power LED to Green and no pulsing of LED and
    BL's.LED then went into Power Saving and reverted to Amber,again no pulsing.
    b)PC switched on, and the Logic recognises it and and Power LED goes Green,and now statrts to pulse on and off,as does the BL's.Irrespective if one or both lamps are plugged in to the top or bottom sockets.If I remove the CCFL's the LED continues to pulse,until Power removed.
    c)with PC VGA plug removed from the Logic card,so there was no ON voltage.An external voltage was then applied instead and the Power LED and CCFL's started again to pulse together,BUT continued to do so when the external signal was removed ??.The latter was tried on Board 1,and that simply flashed once and then switched off.
    The Inverter Controller is OZ9938GN,and the Mosfets are Dual 'N'Channel AP9971GD's.The supply to the Controller is also fine.
    Measuring the Mosfets do not seem to indicate a short,and all of them on Both boards measure the same on Diode testing ??.
    The Output transformer secondaries ,are all in spec.
    I am now at the stage that I can't see the wood for the trees,and really need some input please.

    This is just very simple stuff and I am sure you know these things,
    A lot of monitors will try to power on to the last state they were in [If main power was disconnected and the monitor was on, when the main power is reconnected the monitor will try to turn on].
    On the first board just to go over simple things.
    Good stable voltages at the connector from P/S to logic.
    What is the back light on signal doing when the CCFLs and PLED are flashing.
    What voltages are you seeing on the voltage regulators?
    Can you disable loads on the system, Unplug the ribbon cable to the LCD.
    Figure out a way to disable the inverter section.
    It really acts like something is causing the P/S to start and shut off repeatedly.
    Start out at the edge of the forest and slowly work your way deeper in.
    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

      LCD Cable Not connected
      All voltages are stable,and by putting an ON voltage on the Board,externally,the Logic voltages do't come into play.
      Will look at disabling Inveter section....so so easy to forget these things when starting to lose the plot !!!

        Also look at the component that ALMOST never fails - the large (100uF, 450 V cap.

        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.

          The Large Cap is fine,thanks for the advice.Further Tests,however on the Board 2, finally restored it to working condition.Faults in total on it were,D804 which rectifys the voltage for the Vcc was faulty(although that did not show,either in or out of cct).The mosfets 10 ohm source resistor had gone high,and there were dry joints on the Inverter transformers,and particularly the Blue caps to the CCFL sockets.

          Now for the other one !!!!!
