    Re: Viewsonic vx2255wmb inverter help

    ah that would explain it. .5 or 1 amp is not nearly enough. Anything I should be aware of when ordering fuses? I looked on digikey and there are lots of options.

      If it's a 3A fuse, then a fast acting 3A fuse rated at 32V should work. Try the one below:

      Just verify that the physical size is correct.

        Thanks!

        I'll put the order in tomorrow. Just wondering... why do I need a 32v as opposed to the 24v indicated on the board?

        Thanks again to all who had input on this.

          I missed the 24V indicated on the board. However, you can go higher in voltage without problem. So, a fuse rated at 24V or greater will work.

          I would also consider replacing the other 3 small caps that have not been replaced. You can leave the large 450V cap alone.

            Here is another option on the fuse it looks like it's 2MM longer, these are the type of fuses I see on alot of delta boards,it's made by Bourns you might want to compare measurments.

            Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

              Good afternoon. I have a problem do the same monitor. When I turn on the monitor I see the image for 1-2 seconds, then the screen goes black. Then the power led turns orange.

              Π‘apacitors has not changed. How do I check the fuses F200? My multimeter shows no open-circuit on it.
              I checked resistance that indicated in the post #6. It the same.

              I do not understand how to do it.

                The pictures you provided are sharp and well lit, thank you. There IS one problem - like most humans, I am bilaterally symmetrical. And if I am comparing top and bottom views of a board, it is much easier for me to compare right-left than top-bottom. This is simply an observation, it is not necessary to provide new pictures.

                What you seem to have is 'Two seconds to black'. There is no need to check fuses; the inverter is working. Here is a simple test - hook the monitor to a working computer. Turn the monitor on. Does the display go black after a few seconds, and the power led stay green (or blue)? I've marked up the photo of the bottom of the power supply board. Note I've labeled two pins as On/Off and Bri. Check the voltage on those two pins when the screen is on, and again when it goes black. One pin should read about 3.3 volts, the other 1-2 volts. If the voltages don't change when the screen goes black, you definitely have 'two seconds to black'.

                Possible causes are bad capacitors, broken or aging CCFLs, problems with the wiring to the CCFLs, or a bad inverter transformer.

                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.

                  Just wanted to thank everybody for their input. I got the new caps and fuse installed. The monitor now works perfectly.

                  Thanks!

                    Hello,

                    I recently had the OSD that appeared randomly. I opened the display to see if a button was mechanically pressed. I saw nothing, closed everything, and had the 'Two seconds to black' symptom (dammit !). So I read this topic, changed the caps, checked the inverter impedance.... and it still not worked. I ashamed to admit what happened : on the first opening, I disconnected a little extension cable to the light tubes (it appeared connected but was slightly out). Just in case someone has the same issue...

                    By the way, I still have the OSD that appears randomly. I can't close it and no buttons work. Does anyone have any clue ?

                    Regards

                    renArD

                      Is this for the same monitor as the one in this thread? If yes, post pictures of your power supply and logic boards. The problem could be badcaps (even if none look visibly bad). If this is for a different monitor and/or different model, then start a new thread in the monitor forum here:

                        Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
                        by lostone
                        Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

                        First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
                        When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...

                        by x_orange90_x
                        I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

                        I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

                        I have a tripp-lite aspint 3636vr inverter charger which blow some of mosfet transistors. I replaced them repaired also the driver circuit and tested but the mosfets burn again.

                        It work very well as inverter and also as charger if I let the rear switch in auto mode (inverter) and charger only(charging) but in auto when I connect the feed line 220V AC first time it pass ok to line and start charging the batteries but when I remove the feed line it pass to inverter mode and if I do it again the second time when passing from charging to inverter the Main transformer start making a...

                        For some reason I'm just not going to let this 19" TV defeat me. I guess because I have a schematic to work from I feel like I'm oh so close.

                        History- while adding a turn-on circuit I let a small screw roll under the power board. Worked through all of that circuitry, probably replacing a MOSFET and PWM controller that were not bad but I was following the service manual. Finally figured out that the power supply is in working order when the inverter section (for the backlights) is disconnected. When the +12 supply to the inverter is disconnected the +12 and +5 will come up...
