      At this point you have reduced the possible causes to the CCFLs, the wiring to the CCFLs, or a problem with the protection circuit.

      The best way to troubleshoot this is to take an entire LCD panel with identical connectors and hook it to your inverter. If the CCFLs stay on, the problem is either CCFLs or the wiring to the CCFLs. This can be further troubleshot by substituting one CCFL from your LCD panel for the CCFL in the test panel (it's not necessary to remove the CCFLs from the panel, just plug the connector into the inverter).

      Another way is to take a known good CCFL and substitute it for each original CCFL in turn. When the CCFLs stay on, you have identified the bad one.

      A third way is to disconnect three of the CCFLs, then turn on the monitor. The backlights should come on (dimmer) for two seconds. Disconnect that CCFL, and hook up another, then turn on the monitor again. Continue this until you identify one CCFL that does not light. Then it's time to tear down the panel.

      CCFLWarehouse is one source; the also have an eBay store, Plasmo Industries.

      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.

        There are two thing I ould like you to try.

        The first is safe. Measure the resistance between the two points circled in black. Measure the resistance between the two points circled in yellow. These are the secondaries of the transformers. They should match within 3%.

        The second gives me the heebie jeebies. Hook up the boards and connect one pair of CCFLs to the output connector. Leave the other pair disconnected. Turn on the monitor. Does the backlight come on? Turn off the monitor, disconnect the first pair of CCFLS, connect the second pair, and turn on the monitor again. Does the backlight come on?

        If the backlights come on at the same brightness in each case (I understand it will be difficult to judge brightness), repeat the test, but hook up only one CCFL at a time. You are looking for one (or more) CCFL that does not light.

        Hi, I too was having the off-after-two-seconds issue with the backlight mentioned in this thread, and I did the tests mentioned above.

        One of the transformers (the top one) gives an open circuit on the secondary winding, while the other one gives about 350 ohm.

        Both the lamps seems to be working (only for two seconds tho) if I connect them with the bottom connector once at the time. They do not work when connected to the top connector, so I guess the lamps themselves are OK.

        Is the only way to repair this to replace the broken transformer? Or would it be possible to bypass it and only use one lamp? Even if that gives me less brightness.

          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...

          AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
          by wattage
          Hello Badcaps Community,

          I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

          The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

          Hi Everyone

          Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...lashing-on-off

          The monitor is HP 27es LED Monitor
          https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Deskto...e/td-p/6804692

          The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.
          Sometimes need to power and off again to restore the display but...

          LG 23MP55HQ LED Monitor turns off after a few seconds or flickers.
          by Rick_1234
          Good evening, gentlemen.

          I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.

          To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.

          Wise Wing F199 19'' LCD monitor - recapped
          by momaka
          Looking through my repair pictures and notes, it's been a long time since I posted anything in the LCD monitors section. So here goes that.

          I'm dedicating this thread to one of the very first LCD monitors I repaired (if not the first one), which was more than 10 years ago now. The monitor is a Wise Wing, model F199. It's a 19” CFL-backlit LCD. I got it for free off of Craigslist in 2009 from a guy, who said he bought it for cheap from Wallmart and the monitor worked only for a little less than 2 years before quitting.

          When I saw the Craigslist post, I wasn't...
