Those are typically in the 10 - 30 pico farad range. And if they fail, it's obvious from the charred cap.

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
I dug out my Supco MFD10 Cap.Tester. I usually use this for my laundromat equipment, but it tests down to .01. All caps report within their range except C14, C15 and C23, C24. These do not give any reading. I removed C24 from the board and it still nothing. (I've realized as I write this that the tester might not read low enough, but it reads all others on the board and they are much smaller.)
Would it be possible that just these four on the transformer are bad? It would seem strange to me that ALL would go bad. But, educate me. (Oh and can you tell me what capacity these are?)Leave a comment:

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
On one of the first monitors I worked on PlainBill helped me, And we identified the backlight on signal and traced it down to the backlight controller, the signal was OK.But at least we knew the logic board was asking for the backlights to be on. There are some monitors that even if there is an image on the dark screen it can be almost impossible to see even with a bright light. If there is a backlight on signal that is making its way down to the backlight controller we know to look to the inverter section for problems.
On a few occasions I have had a good backlight on signal at the connector to the logic board, but there was a weak spot in the circuit going to the backlight controller. This would result in a momentary flash of the backlamps, as the weak spot totally opened up.Leave a comment:

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
OK, I had a little time to work on the monitor. I decided to back up and reread the thread and some of the other sticky's on the board. I got a stronger, wider beam light source, a small flood light, to check the monitor. Much to my surprise (and embarrassment), the monitor actually IS displaying the image from the source.
But, knowing this, does this change the tests we've been conducting?

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
Open up one of you other monitors,See if the problems are the same.If there different you can try substitution.Leave a comment:

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
The transformers appear to be good.
Argh!!! I forgot to ask - what is the part number of the 16 pin IC on the inverter?

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
I'm just about out of ideas on this. Before I have you take apart the LCD panel to examine the CCFLs, there are a couple of points I want investigated.
Referring to the picture of the inverter, I believe the pin in the upper left corner of the transformer is one end of the secondary, of course the one in the lower left corner is the other end of the secondary. Measure the resistance of the secondary on each transformer. If it reads greater than 10K, check the resistance from each pin at the upper end of the transformer to the pin on the lower left corner of the transformer. Compare the resistances; they should match to within 3%.
I am also suspicious of the surface mount electrolytic capacitors.

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
Here's the next test: Unplug one set of backlights. Turn the monitor on. Do you still get the flash? Reconnect those and disconnect the other set. Turn the monitor on again. Do you still get the flash?

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
Bill, my apologies. I reread your 'back-to-basics' and realized I didn't have a source hooked up.
Pin 7 - 4.75v - steady
Pin 6 - Nothing
Pin 5 - 1.75 steady.
AlexAnna, the LED appears yellow (maybe green) to me. (See video)

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
In your very first post you indicated the PLED was yellow all the time, But that was without a signal going to the monitor.
Now that you have a signal going to the monitor dose the PLED change colors?Leave a comment:

Re: Planar PE1700-BK monitor
.6Ω
Now place 1 probe firmly on each end of F2. What reading do you get?
Now switch the DMM to the 20VDC range. Plug in the monitor and have it hooked to a computer displaying a desktop or something similar. Hold one probe on pins 3 or 4, and the other probe on ...
pin 6 - 4.75v
pin 7 - 4.75v
All displayed this for approx 5 secs.
Also, do you get a flash of the display every time you push the power button and the power led comes on?Leave a comment:

by momakaNormally, 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...

by wattageHello 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...-

by ant3202Hi 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...-

by Rick_1234Good 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.

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.
