Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

Hi I would be really grateful if anybody knows if this would work for the Acer Ferrari F-17 ? Thanks.

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

Does this refer to the F-17 as well ?

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

I bought a universal inverter, I follow the order pins, I mounted inverter board in monitor, but still not working.
I measured with a multimeter, voltage on inverter board and appear ok.
Is there any order of the connectors that come from the lights?

I see you attach, you use 5 wire quick disconnect connect on inverte side, is missing one {VCC = input + volt to inverter (yellow wire)}
you need 6 wire quick disconnect connect
universal inverter board need 2 (input + volt to inverter) & 2 Ground (input - volt to inverter)

Here the wire connect to universal inverter board side

1/ VCC = input + volt to inverter (green wire)
2/ VCC = input + volt to inverter (yellow wire)
3/ On/Off (Black wire)
4/ Adjust or dim (Brown wire)
5/ Ground = input - volt to inverter (Light Brown wire)
6/ Ground = input - volt to inverter (red wire)

Here the wire connect to video board side

1/ VCC = input + volt to inverter (green wire)
2/ VCC = input + volt to inverter (yellow wire)
3/ Spare
4/ Ground = input - volt to inverter Light Brown wire)
5/ Ground = input - volt to inverter (red wire)
6/ Adjust or dim (Brown wire)
7/ On/Off (Black wire)

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

I did get the info though. It was a Saxon, 330uf, 25V, 105 Deg C that failed.

I replaced it with a spare from the junk pile and it fixed the monitor.

I don't mean to rain on your sunshine, but the replacement cap you use looks like a general purpose Marcon rated for 85C. If so, it likely won't last very long in that hot inverter. Worst case scenario, it will take out the inverter transistors and fuse. Therefore, you should replace it. I'm assuming the bad Samxon was GF series, but you should confirm that first - if it is, use something like Nichicon HE, United Chemicon KY and KZE, Rubycon YXG and ZL, or Panasonic FR and FM.

You also have Teapo on the video/logic board. Usually they are not a problem unless the monitor likes to run hot.

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

I have this monitor, and it just failed. Thanks to this board, I was able to identify and replace the bad cap that caused it's failure, and would like to share what I know/found.

To clarify, it's a 16x9 monitor, 1680x1050 wit 4 lamps.

I have attached photos of the inverter board.

Note, the large cap in the center (where C1 once laid) was the cap that was bad. The details of the cap were hard to read as they were on the underside, glued to the board, and had gotten hot. The cap you see in the photo was it's replacement.

I did get the info though. It was a Saxon, 330uf, 25V, 105 Deg C that failed.

I replaced it with a spare from the junk pile and it fixed the monitor.

The info on the inverter board:

P/N AS022166D21
Other stickers on the trace side - FM9T60702515A, FS6A7815 0700
Silkscreened labels on top side- 3BS0111610GP, PCB56141C, INV19-4001A

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

Hello,
I have the same type of monitor with the same problem.
3 months looking for this component on the Internet or someone to fix it and I have not found.
Tell me where you found the inverter board?
Can you give me a link?

Here the link for inverter & follow they intruction to conected to mainboard
See my note on color code

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

I find inveter from another LCD monitor & install today now Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor is working

Here the pin & color code for Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor from mainboard

Pin # 1 (Green) & 2 (Yellow) is + 18VDC
Pin # 4 (Light Brown) & 5 (Red) is -0VDC or ground
Pin # 6 (Brown) Dim
Pin # 7 (Black) On/Off

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

Finally I get Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor working
Here the color code for
At CN1 connect from pin 1 to 7 at mainboard
pin # 1 (green) & 2 (Yellow) is +18 VDC
Pin # 4 (light brown) & 5 (red) is Ground
Pin # 6 (Brown) Dim
Pin # 7 (Black) on/off

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

Dose this picture help?

I already had this but my question is F-20 just had 4 lamps & AL2032W look like had 6 lamps is will work on F-20?
Another quesion why my F-20 use DAMOTWMB431 mainboard and AL2032W use DAMOTWMB4A5 mainboard at looking is almos the same but why they do not math parts #
Thanks

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

I have an F-20 that i gave away to my parents, have been thinking of cracking it open to look for bad caps cause it sometimes locks up and you need to pull the plug to get it back up. Would it help any if i took some pics of the inverter in it? It might take a while though, maybe i could get it done this weekend if not to busy.

As i recall the F-20 and AL2032W are the exactly same monitor (dont quote me on that), all they did was cram a tv reciver in there as well and change the case to ferrari.

If is the F-20 and AL2032W are the exactly same monitor I already get Service Manual



I find AL2032W T/S

https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...t=Acer+AL2032W

But I not understand on AL2032W inverter had 6 quick disconnected to backlight lamps you can see 2 wide quick disconnected for 4 lamps & beside had 2 small quick disconnected for 2 another lamps

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

Dear Jsog
(Based on some searching, that's an AL2032W with a different case. The Acer inverter part number is 55.L38VE.103:
http://cgi.ebay.com/55-L38VE-004-Ace...-/160590821557)
is the old inverter & (4:3) is square LCD they had 6 lamps
On my LCD is wide sreen (16:9) just had 4 lamps only not 6 lamp on the old LCD
But thanks

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

Thank you guy, Is 18VDC system not 12VDC and had 6 wire in 7 quick disconnecter but I at work now I will check late when get out work

There may be multiple power and grounds, they are most likely redundant.

Re: Acer Ferrari F-20 monitor

It's really easy
Locate the 12 volt feeds to the inverter with your voltmeter.
Locate the ground wires either with the voltmeter or ohmmeter.
Find the backlight on signal it's usually around 3 volts, when there is a signal going to the monitor
This will most likely go to 0 volts when you remove the VGA cable from the monitor.
The other important voltage is going to be the dim voltage; this varies from around 3 volts full brightness and down towards 1 volt when you dim the monitor.
These can all be located with a voltmeter
LCDPARTS.net gives a really good explanation Just look for their universal inverters section instructions
