    Re: Gateway FPD 2185w No Picture Con. Blue Pwer Lt

    I wonder if you could satisfy my curiosity.
    When you're testing the voltage regulators, I am guessing you have the ribbon, and CCFL connectors not hooked up to the LCD. With those unplugged can you turn the monitor on and off with the front panel switch?
    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

        To answer your question, no I cannot turn the blue led off and on, via power switch( the led is embedded in power switch) whether lcd ribbon and cffl connectors are connected or not.

          Still get no visual on screen, tried replacing caps on video board, 3 470uf 16 with some used saxmon 470 25v ( not sure if the saxmons work) and received the same results.

            Depending on which Fluke 77 model you have, you can check the capacitance of cap if you are unsure.

              OK I measured the output voltages and the volt regulators on the main and video board, they seem to be within normal limits ( 12v puts out 12.21v and 5vs put out 5.08v on main and regs show rated regulation, so why is this moniker still not even showing a logo screen, or turning off and on. Should I check diodes and transistors and if so how?

                Hookup a working computer with your favourite wallpaper to the lcd. Shine a flashlight on the lcd. Can you see the wallpaper?

                If no, that implies a problem with the logic board. If yes, then you have a shorted mosfet or transistor in the inverter section.

                    This might raise a few eyebrows, or get a chuckle or two.
                    IT should be easy to verify.
                    Let me go through some of my thoughts.
                    I am using a Gateway HD monitor, If I turn this monitor off and remove the power cord, And then reinstall the power cord the power LED comes on but it's more of a violet color. When I push the front power switch it lights about 5 LEDs on the front panel switch that are dark blue.
                    I wonder if when all those LEDs light, the monitor is going through some type of a self test.
                    I look at the voltages you're seeing on the voltage regulators, if I understand things correctly the 1.8volt regulators are fed from the outputs of the 3.3 volt regulators. The 3.3 volt regulators are within the 1% tolerance on the outputs, but on the inputs of the 1.8 volt regulators you are just above the lower tolerance.
                    I wonder if there would be any benefit to check the voltage on the input pins of the 1.8 volt regulators as the power cord is plugged into the monitor, and when the front panel power touch switch is pushed. I am wondering if the voltage is going low as a load is trying to apply.
                    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

                      Un70TU7000b Backlights work, no picture, has sound, panel shorted caps
                      by EazyBone
                      Picked up this Samsung above thinking it'd be backlights but it isn't. Now MAYBE I'll get lucky.
                      Found some shorted caps among the panel boards. Each cap along the line is shorted. On every board (3 panel driver boards)I disconnect each side right and left ribbons and they are no longer shorted caps and have about 1.5Mohm resistance (on left and right boards). The middle board has the main board disconnected and the caps are shorted. Last 4 pics show arrow to caps.

                      Now what exactly do I need to do in order to attempt to fix this issue?

                      do I have to take each one...

                      iPhone 13 CAPs on Picture request
                      by cool-oase
                      Hi there,
                      i am at the present struggling with an iPhone 13.
                      Can someone tell me the values of the three caps marked in the picture close to Pin 1?
                      They are caps or am I wrong?

                      Photo was taken from a youtube video.

                      Thank you very much and greetings from Cologne!...

                      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                      by eryjus
                      Hello,

                      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                      ...

                      Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                      by Paxman_Swede
                      Hello!

                      I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                      The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                      I have studied the board and...

                      by momaka
                      Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
