    HP L1906 "No Signal"

    Hey guys,

    I recently picked up a HP L1906 LCD Display for cheap because it would not get an input signal. The monitor turns on and it looks like the backlight is fine since the "No Signal" and "Going to Sleep" messages show up bright and clear.

    I tore it apart hoping to find some obviously bad caps that could be replaced on the Video Board or even the Power Supply but after a visual inspection they all look fine (no visible bulging or leaking).

    Is it possible they are still bad? Would that cause this sort of problem, or would it likely be something with the signal processor chip?

    Thanks for the help!

    I'll attach some pics of the two boards just in case it's helpful.

    Pictures always help. In this case, what are the voltages on the three pins of U601 and U602? What are the part numbers of U601 and U602?

      Thanks for the reply PlainBill. I've replaced a few bad caps before but I'm not electronics expert so forgive me if my explanation is a little crude.

      Here's what I got for voltages:

      U601-
      P/N: 1084-33 0603FL
      Voltages:
      Monitor On:
      Legs (from right to left in photo)
      1 - 2 = 3.3V
      1 - 3 = 5.9V
      2 - 3 = 1.8V
      Monitor Standby:
      1 - 2 = 3.3V
      1 - 3 = 5.1V
      2 - 3 = 1.8V

      U602-
      P/N: AZ1117D-L8EI 602J23
      Voltages:
      Monitor On:
      Legs (from right to left in photo)
      1 - 2 = 1.8V
      1 - 3 = 3.5V
      2 - 3 = 1.65V
      Monitor Standby:
      1 - 2 = 1.8V
      1 - 3 = 3.9V
      2 - 3 = 2.14V

      Also on a related note: When I plugged everything in with the monitor actually taken apart, I was able to hear a 1 - 2 sec. "sizzling" sound coming from the Power Supply board whenever the monitor went from Standby to On. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the problem, but I'm not sure which component is making the noise.

      Thanks again for your help!

        Those voltages are correct. I don't have a good idea what could be causing the problem, but here are some possibilities, not in any particular order.

        0. Not connected to a computer.
        1. Video resolution on computer not correct. (Set the video card to 640 x 480, 60 hz).
        2. Bad capacitors on signal card.
        3. Bad capacitors on power supply.
        4. Bad component between input connector and the Genesis chip
        5. Bad support component for Genesis chip.
        6. Bad Genesis chip.

        As far as the sound from the power supply, I suggest using a cardboard tube (the core from a roll of paper towels) as a rudimentary stethoscope.

          I've done this recently on an acer. I would like to suggest checking all zener diodes near the vga dsub connector (at least zd208 until zd211) and the BAV99 diodes (d211, d212 and d213).

            My pc:
            10850K stock 4800mhz stock Kraken X73 good temps

            4 weeks ago i launched Metro Exodus Enhanced and during cinematic advertisement part ( 30 fps ), pc just shutdown.
            Also monitor flickered with NO SIGNAL 10 seconds after shutdown. So only monitor and pc was affected.

            Next i pressed only power button, rebooted again and its fine again. Happened once and i cant reproduce.

            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...

            Requesting Help For GA-970A-DS3 rev. 1.0, No Post code, no RSMRST# signal
            by AstutePauciloquent
            Hi everyone, over the past few months i have taken a deep dive into motherboard diagnostics and I love the challenge. Currently im trying to learn all about the signals that travel around the motherboard, such as frequencies, enable signals High and Low logic states etc. And i have been learning to read and using the Schematics for this board that i requested here on Badcaps forum, from a few months ago, this is such a great place for these.

            I’ve been working on a GA-970A-DS3 (rev. 1.0) that does not post. This motherboard has been my main learning board. I would like share...

            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.

            Samsung monitor Installed 1 cap wrong, now menu button dead, "no signal detected" msg
            by glutton4punishment
            Samsung synchmaster 226BW.

            Before I replaced 5 caps, the screen was dim.
            Sometimes it wouldn't turn on.

            I opened it up, and found 4 bad caps in the pwr supply section.

            I unfortunately installee one backwards, i.e. wrong polarity.

            When I turned it on, I head a loud pop, and I quickly shut it off.

            The replaced caps are 3 860uF 25V's, and 1 330u 35V.
            One of the 860uF blew.

            I didn't have another 860uF at home, so I tried it with a 1000uF 35V cap (I remember the reading of the 1k uF cap was close...
