    Gateway HX2000 20" Widescreen

    Ok, I got some monitors this week from the local recycler. One of them is a Gateway HX2000, it is a real nice 20" widescreen. I have recaped all of the elecralitic caps, and it still loses backlight after a few seconds. I checked all my voltages, and they seem steady (no fluxuation on them). I was just wondering if anybody out there has worked on these yet? it was made in late 2009. I was thinking maybe the backlights themselves? or maybe one of the solid caps near the transformer?

    PS I also have found that there was a recall order for rework on them, but cant find out why.

    CCFLs would be high on the suspect list!
    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

      What brand/series caps did you use? Also, please pose some good focused photos of the top and bottom of the power button. Use the "manage attachments" button.

        Oops! I meant to say post some good focused photos of the power board.

          Ok, I will get them posted tonight. Bad part is, it has a different cable plug in, and a regular screen don't seem to work with it.
