    Just the VGA input on the board unfortunately.

    Would any of those electrolytic caps on the logic board be involved with the VGA signal?

      Quite possibly... do you have a pic of the logic board?

        Yes, I posted one earlier: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...55&postcount=6

        I cut that down to maybe 25-30% before posting, but can make another in higher resolution if required.

          Darn - looks like a dedicated IC for VGA and scaler.

          I'd replace all the caps around the chip, but I don't know what else to suggest except a new logic board.

            Thanks for the help.

            I replaced all but the 4 caps towards the lower right corner of the logic board, but the lines remain.

            I suppose it's possible that the bad 12V (15.74V) could still be causing the vertical lines? There is a 13.07V going up to the TCON board, and if it's only supposed to be about 10V, could this cause the issue I'm seeing?

            Or worse, that the overvoltage caused some damage in the logic board. So maybe I should go back to the powerboard and see if that can be sorted.

            All I've done on the powerboard is replace the caps, and I took off the diode supplying the 15.74V, and it tested at 0.411 and OL, so I guess it's ok. What else is involved in generating the 12V?

            I've had a quick look for a replacement logic board, but haven't seen any that are the same, most only have 1 ribbon connection.

            EDIT: would it be worth getting a PC power supply, and connecting a 12V line up to the logic board instead of the 15.74V from the powerboard?

              The high voltages aren't going to the logic chip itself. The chip runs on 5v, 3.3v and 1.8v, the latter two being produced by those regulator ICs you said are okay.

              Do replace the output caps of those regulators though. On a Bestview HD17A i've found a bad cap after the 1.8v regulator causing some really funky behavior.

                Thanks, yes, I can see that now on the data sheet for the RTD2523.

                I have replaced them though, although how important is it to use quality caps here? They were 220uF/6.3V Capxon originally, and I replaced most of them with some cheapos I had to hand, except the very first (the one before the first regulator), which is a Panasonic. All caps I used were new, so even if they aren't the best, shouldn't they be ok to use short term anyway?

                The 3 smaller caps near the green speaker input, is it possible they're used in the VGA signal? I didn't change them.

                  Ideally you should use low-ESR quality caps, but it shouldn't make too much of a difference for general decoupling. If it was the output of the switching power supply itself you would need to use low ESR caps.

                  Note down any numbers on the board and look on eBay for a replacement. If you take uncommon combinations you could get a lower price. For example, one PSU I replaced was 17PW22.2. Those were in the £20 - £30 range. So I searched for 17PW22 2 (no dot) and found someone selling one as 17PW22 v2 for £10 including postage.

                    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...

                    ACER BM320 Monitor - Horizonal Flickering Lines After a While
                    by reessi
                    Hello,

                    The monitor started off showing flickering thin (1 pixel) lines horizontally every say 3mm..

                    They are black on the right and gradually fade to nothing on the far left.
                    They start either after 5 mins or up to 2 hours after so annoying for testing.
                    They flicker continuously very fast! With a slight pause milli-second every second.

                    Initially I cleaned the LVDS cable and connected to the T-Con and then it worked fine for 3 weeks but not sure if this was just co-incidence.

                    I tested each half by removing the first the left flex from...

                    Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34" - Horizontal lines
                    by Kikerumbo
                    Hello everyone,

                    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

                    I have a Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34". A few weeks ago it started to show (or not showing) horizontal lines. Of course, it's outside of the warranty period.

                    After some hours of reading and watching videos I disassembled the monitor and checked the ribbons that go from the TCON board to the panel PCB. If I disconnect the ribbon for the right side of the panel, the other half shows a perfect image. I ordered a "new" TCON, installed it and the issue persists so that tells me it must...

                    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

                    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.

                    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.
