    Dell LCD Monitor with build in speakers

    Hello

    I just got a Dell LCD Monitor with build in speakers. The funny thing is that it also requires another DC power supply for the speakers! IMO couldn't the speakers be powered by the ps of the monitor?

    Thanks!

      Yes. And many Dell monitors do just that.

          Thanks for the reply!

          Has anyone did this as a mod? I didn't get the adaptor with the monitor....I wonder how many amps is required?

              Well if you say the model of the monitor we could make some guesses....

              Or maybe you can make some snapshots of the boards inside and maybe we can guess the amplifier chip by what it's written on it and therefore we'll be able to tell you how much it needs.

              A wild guess...the adapter was probably anywhere between 7.5 and 12v @ 1-2 A ...

                  Philips F9217L-50R speakers – build quality impressions and DIY surround repair
                  by momaka
                  More Lo-Fi speakers and another DIY surround repair. The patient this time: a pair of Philips F9217L-50R speakers from a budget Philips rack/component system from the '80's. The system belongs to my brother in-law… or actually his parents. However, they didn't want it when they moved houses and he liked it anyways, so he ended up keeping it. It's a pretty cool-looking vintage system with a wood/veneer cabinet and shelves for records and cassettes. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it or get the model #'s (but maybe next time I visit, if anyone is curious?)

                  Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                  by Bowline
                  My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                  Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                  My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                  The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.

                  Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
                  by DanPoka
                  I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
                  Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
                  This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

                  Issues Reviving Old Dell 2408WFPb Monitor
                  by Jesus Coder
                  Hello everyone,

                  I have been having some difficulties reviving an old Dell 2408WFPb PC monitor that I received for free. When I first acquired it, the backlights of the display were on but alas no image was showing. After extensive research on the topic, I went ahead and purchased a new t-con board for the monitor. After installing the board, I was then presented with a new screen that was half black and half green (more so black). I have been unable to figure out what to do next as I have limited knowledge of display electronics. Might anyone on this forum have an idea of what may...
