    Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap

    So I've confirmed the following are dead:

    C605 - 120uf 450V 105C
    F601 - 4A, 20mm, antisurge ceramic fuse (T4A H)
    Q651 - STP10NK60ZFP, Zener protected N-channel MOSFET, TO-220, FEC code 993-551
    ZD601 - 15V 0.5W Zener diode
    R670 - 0.22 ohm

    Is R670 a 1/2W?

    IC651 - L6561D - physically appears ok, my multi doesn't have a capacitance check, are there any other test for this one?

    @nothin: The voltage and capacitance are on the bottom side. It will be the same as everyone else's (120μF, 450V). Insert a blade under it and gently cut the caulk from the board, to reveal its spec.

    Beware that the repair will not be as simple as replacing C605. The Q651 MOSFET is almost certainly blown (measure it with an ohmmeter to convince yourself). The 2 microchips on the back likely need replacing, too.

    There are fixes, and the answers are all in this thread, but a successful repair will require you to undertake a more serious study than what you have done so far.

    Sorry if this has already been covered, I scanned through this thread and did some googlin, but it's hard to absorb information when post #9 in a massive thread is a picture perfect image of my leaking cap, but with different markings

    I'm an Aussie (so our sparks come out at 240V) and one of my three aged but still fantastic 2407WFP's turned itself off while in standby the other night and now refuses to power on.

    Here's the only obvious sign of damage (from comments in this thread I see there may be a lot of caps to be suss at, but this one made it pretty clear it's unhappy):



    While I have the most basic understanding of capacitor specs, the lack of values for farads and volts on this one leaves me stupefied. Would one of you find capacitor wizards be able to point me in the direction of a suitable spec for replacement?

    For those of you keeping track, I figured out what was wrong with it. The Dell PA-6 power adaptor I was using just couldn't handle it. The markings on it are very different from the other two I'm using so maybe this one just isn't made as well

    I switched it out with a PA-9 and it works great. I also found a base for it This makes three of these monitors I've fixed now. I have two using the PA-6 which is a 70W powersupply and one using a PA-9 which is 90W.

    That power supply is only 40 Watts, typical power consumption without Audio and USB is 57 Watts, max is 110 Watts. So the power supply should be at least 20% higher power capacity than 57 Watts MINIMUM.

    You can also see the in-rush current rating in the spec sheet.

    Ok so I am thinking if I can use this:



    To do the job of my PSU Board? I dont need the audio to work just the video portion.
    If it is possible I guess I would need to know if anyone can tell me what both of the harnesses need voltage in these pics?:




    I am thinking this could work if all that PSU board does is distribute power. But I would need to make sure everyone gets the right voltage they need.

    It does have PFC; needs 450V or higher (and 500V will be even harder to find).

    Any descent online suppliers? I'm willing to pay something but 18 euro is a bit steep for a 2 euro component I think.
    If can't find 450V capacitors, then can go for higher 500V ones. If this monitor does not have PFC then can use lower 400V ones as well (which is the voltage rating found on most AC-to-DC adaptors with the same topology). If can't find 120uF then go for 150uF or 180uF. Usually I get mine from RS Components, Farnell or Mouser. Sometimes I use eBay. Plenty of those 120uF 450V on eBay though, and cheaper too.

    Most likely red marker pen, seen plenty of those. Most often they would use either green or blue instead of red. When in doubt, simply replace them.

    Before or after the barrier/schottky rectifiers/diodes? Usually should be after the rectifiers as they would block the DC back to the transformer, unless one of the rectifiers/diodes is shorted (or had breakdown at certain voltage threshold). I usually use a bench power supply to test first.

    Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap

    Hmm.. Ok that is good to know. I did this one the same way I did the other two I have done and they both work fine. One has been running everyday for over a year. I noticed that the PA-6 power supply cuts out when I connect the power board to the main board. The main board is fine. I tested with parts from one of the others.

    It is good to know I didn't kill the board! I'll have to do some more testing. It could be the particular PA-6 I'm using. I noticed the markings on it are different from the others. Does anyone have a pin out of the main board power connector so I can check the voltages without having to dismantle one of the other 2407s I just put back together?

    Thanks!!

    After fixing the Main big Cap, replaced the fuse with same amperage one. Plugged it in. Book IC651 blows a section of the top of it and that is gone now. I just need to find a new Power Board. Any ideas where to find one? I have tried eBay and local CL. Ohh and I have the 2405FPW

    Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap

    @macjedimatt: If you are doing the standard bypass surgery described in post 151 above, then you were correct that T601 is on the high-voltage side of the black line (only pins 9 and 10 are on the low-voltage side, but they are on the other side of the barrier diodes from the +19V rail you are hooking up. So, there should be no current flowing through T601 after the bypass, even if you have shorted the coil between pins 7-8 and 9-10. It should work. If it doesn't, there must be another cause. Are you by any chance connecting the +19V supply to the T601 side of the barrier diodes?

    @macjedimatt: You are reporting what appears to be a new mode of failure. May I ask on what evidence do you conclude that T601 is damaged? And there is no corrosion where the + terminal enters the body of C605?

    Thank you. Fantastic advice. Just repaired my monitor with this mod using a spare laptop power supply. Saved a lot of time and money.
    All the best

    If in doubt, replace it since caps are relatively cheap (probably 50 cents).

    Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
    by Borse2008
    Hi everyone,

    Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

    I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
    • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.

    Fried capacitor on Dell-5520. Guilty as charged.
    by Lapsmith
    While installing new SSD's in my new to me Dell 5520 laptop, I dropped a screw which sparked and fried a capacitor. Yes, I know I should have disconnecte the battery first Doh!😡. The laptop runs fine, but I want to replace the capacitor asap. I ordered and received the replacement (10uF, 25V 0603). Since I also managed to burn up one of the pads it was soldered to, my main question is whether it is okay to solder this capacitor on top of another capacitor (same size, same function in circuit). Specifically, PC4428 is bad and no way to easily solder to the board. I would like to solder it piggy...

    Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
    by Bowline
    My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

    Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

    My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
    The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
    I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

    HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
    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...

    Issues Reviving Old Dell 2408WFPb Monitor
    by Jesus Coder
    Hello everyone,

    I have been having some difficulties reviving an old Dell 2408WFPb PC monitor that I received for free. When I first acquired it, the backlights of the display were on but alas no image was showing. After extensive research on the topic, I went ahead and purchased a new t-con board for the monitor. After installing the board, I was then presented with a new screen that was half black and half green (more so black). I have been unable to figure out what to do next as I have limited knowledge of display electronics. Might anyone on this forum have an idea of what may...
