    LP2407 or FPD2485w No picture after cap replacement.

    Thanks in advance for any help!
    I got this broken monitor free, and decided to try to fix it.

    I have no picture.

    I've replaced all the caps. Now the menu bar and power button light up and stay blue. If I unplug the signal plug, the power light turns orange. Does this mean its at least sensing a signal?

    I have tried to look for picture with flashlight, but see no picture.

    I have seen other posts suggesting I check fuse F1 and Mosfets Q1-Q4

    Anyone else have other suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Blenderboy

      This is the kind of post that give me fits; a lot of words, but missing vital information.

      1. What brand and series of replacement caps did you use?
      2. "No picture" describes a number of possibilities. Do you have backlights?
      3. The flashlight test sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
      4. You implied (but did not explicitly state) that the monitor was hooked up to a working computer. Is that correct?
      5. A picture or two would be a big help. Are the power supply and inverter combined onto a single board or are they separate?

      Two more points to check are the BL_ON (or similar) signal to the inverter, and the power to the inverter.

          Re: LP2407 or FPD2485w No picture after cap replacement.

          Sorry for the vague post. I thought I would keep it simple at first with the basic info and symptoms.

          I'm not an electronics guru, just a guy with a soldering iron.... and I'm not afraid to use it!

          I replaced all but the large Cap on the power supply and the two on the (inverter?) board. These were from LCD Alternatives. I can only assume that they are good quality. They all matched what I removed.

          I don't believe I have back light. The screen is completely black. If the back light is on, can I tell from the front?

          The monitor is hooked up to a working computer. I swaped the cables to make sure.

          It apears that the power supply and inverter board are seperate units. The inverter board is the long thin board with the 12 coils correct?

          I disassembled the monitor again tonight to take photos. I noticed that there are a few bulging caps on what I am guessing is the video board.

          Should I order new caps for the video board?

          "Two more points to check are the BL_ON (or similar) signal to the inverter, and the power to the inverter."

          How do I check this?
          Thanks,
          Steve

          Here are some photos for identification. I will take more in the daylight if needed.

              Definitely. The video board will not work properly with bloated caps.

              You can order them from digikey.com if you are in the USA. Change ALL the caps on the video board because I count 6 bloated caps and the others are likely to be bad soon. Use something like Panasonic FR, FM, or FC for replacements.

                  Re: LP2407 or FPD2485w No picture after cap replacement.

                  It is usually easy to tell if the backlights are working by looking at the back of the LCD panel. Most have a few holes and the light is visible.

                  I'll say the caps you purchased are suitable.

                  If the monitor still isn't working after replacing the caps on the signal board, I'll need pictures top and bottom of the area of the inverter where the cable from the power supply connects.

                      I will replace the caps on my video board as soon as they arrive. Hopefully thats the culprit.

                              Did this work? I Used the same kit from LCD alternatives in my fpd2185w and I replaced all the caps. The monitor turns on for a little bit and then the power light turns orange?

                                      Since you have a different model, it would be best if you started a new thread. Also, if you use the forum search function, there are quite a few threads on the fpd2185w already.

                                          Hello, this is my first post on this forum, and my first attempted to repair a TV.

                                          My Philips 58PUS7805/12 stopped working recently. It is not that old, about 5 years. We were on a trip for a few days and when we came back, it had stopped working out of a blue (Perhaps our house was hit by a lightning strike? Don't know.)

                                          Read from a guide that I should test if the screen shows picture with one of the T-Con cables disconnected. Did that, it showed perfect picture (first on left, later on right side).

                                          Read also that we should test what happens if we...

                                          Samsung pn59d530a3f no picture after power supply replacement
                                          by Goldenmonkey
                                          My samsung plasma pn59d530a3f recently had a loud pop and stopped working. after opening it up, I found a blown resistor and capacitor on the power supply board. The circuit board was damaged where the resistor connects so I opted to buy a replacement board.

                                          after installing the replacement power supply, the tv powers up but has no picture. The electronics store I bought the power supply from said the next likely culprit could be the Y Main board.

                                          Is there a way to test the Y Main board before just buying a replacement? Or if there are other areas I should check?

                                          This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

                                          Problem
                                          TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

                                          - sound and backlight, but no picture
                                          - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                                          - it keeps rebooting
                                          - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                                          - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                                          - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                                          Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                                          The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                                          Original T-con:
                                          Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                                          First replacement T-con:

                                          I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...
