    Dell E207WFPc

    Could not find anything on this monitor doing a search in the forum. This monitor is really nice so I would like to repair it if possible.
    I have replaced all caps with low ESR good brands Panasonic, Nichicon etc.
    I have checked all fuses and they are good. Also checked all resistors and small diodes. I am down to two Schottky (I think) Diodes and one mosfet (I think) on Heat Sinks.
    I need some help in checking the readings I have gotten, to see if these parts are good or not.

    Diode Setting on DMM

    D906 Schottky #1 Pin 1 - 2 = 1.99v after hitting this reading the meter flips to O.F
    2- 3 = .242v

    D905 Schottky #2 Pin 1 - 2 = 1.621v
    2 - 3 = .148v

    Ohms setting on DMM
    Q901 Mosfet G - S = 9.99 Kohms
    G - D = 8.19 Mohms
    S - D = 8.19 Mohms

    Thanks for the help.

    1) All those readings are good. It looks like your multimeter has a threshold of 2V for diode testing before it reads 0L (out of range).

    2) It always helps if you tell us the problem and symptoms.

    3) Good clear pics.

    4) NR901 (backside) looks like it has dodgy solder cracks?

      Re: Dell E207WFPc

      Sorry about that. I realized about 1:00 am that I had not given the problem.
      The monitor does not power on at all, no light or flicker or anything. I will check the component on the back of the board and get back to you on what I find. Thanks for giving me the info on the front side components.

        Re: Dell E207WFPc

        1) What is the DC voltage across the big cap? Be careful measuring this as it could be around 165 V DC.

        2) What is the DC voltage across the startup cap (C908)? Is it steady or fluctuating?

        3) On the backside, what is part number for IC901? For bonus points, find the datasheet and provide a link.

          4) On the multicolored connector, measure all pins for DC voltage. Report the pin number, its legend (if any), and the voltage.

            Voltage Across Big Cap = 173v

            Connector Label Reads:
            Black = N/F
            Open (no wire) = NC
            Brown = DIM
            Open = +14v
            Open = +14v
            Red = 5v
            Orange = 5v
            Yellow = Gnd
            Green = Gnd

            Voltages from Green Gnd. Readings taken with Power Pluged In and On.
            Reading taken from Power Supply Side Plug
            G - Y = 0v
            G - O = 5.08v
            G - R = 5.08v
            G - B = -288 mv

            Voltages taken from Green = Gnd on Power Supply Side Plug to Main Board Plug
            G - O = 5.08v
            G - R = 5.08v
            G - Y = 0.06mv
            G - B = 1.3mv

            C908 is 10.12v Steady
            IC # is: EA1530A
            DataSheet is at: http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datashe...TEA1530AP.html I need all the extra points I can get. Thanks

              Re: Dell E207WFPc

              At a quick glance, all looks as it should, so probably need to switch your attention to the Logic Board, particulary the Voltage regulators,so if you cannot identify them, then you need photos of the top of the Board

                  Re: Dell E207WFPc

                  1) Those DC voltages indicate your SMPS is working.

                  2) Now we need a clear focused picture of the logic/main board.

                  3) Rtech beat me to it.

                    Ok here are the two Video Board Pictures. Sorry about the flash. It is still a nasty day today. So I had to improvise the picture taking.

                      Is that a solder splash across pins 1+2 on U402?
                      also can you post data on the 3 pin component? just under and to the right of U402 as flash has obscured it

                        1) Interesting. Did you recap this main board too? Or did it come with Rubycon and UCC KY caps?

                        2) The voltage regulators are circled in red. We want the DC voltage readings from all the 3 pins (Gate, Source, Drain) with respect to ground.

                          Solder splash appears to only have been on top of U402 not between legs.

                          The component you are referring to is Q401 and the number is AZ1117D. Here is the datasheet: http://pdf1.alldatasheet.net/datashe...1117D-1.8.html

                            I make it a habit of never touching a main board unless I absolutely have to. They are so hard to remove components from. I don't know if someone tried to work on this board before I got it. Picked it up off of Craigs List.

                            I will get your readings on what you have circled. Get back to you with those soon.

                              Hmm, now that I relook at the backside, it looks like the original caps from the soldering.

                              You almost never see high quality caps (especially low ESR) on the logic board since they don't undergo the same stress as caps on the SMPS.

                                Do you mean for me to take the readings with the power on and the main and power boards connected.

                                  I believe you are correct. The solder points look just like factory work.
                                  Have you ever stopped to think and then forget to start thinking again?

                                  As a very wise man once said on this forum: "Of all the things I have lost I miss my mind the most."

                                      Readings on component (with heat sink)
                                      G = 2.2mv S=5.07v D=3.28v

                                      Q401
                                      G=2.0mv S=3.28v D=1.79v

                                      Just for my knowledge, I thought you read transistors (Q401) by taking an ohms reading between the different legs G-S G-D & S-D.

                                        The readings for the voltage regulators look good. The "usual" voltages are 1.8V and 3.3V.

                                        Yes, that is one test. Voltage regulators can be shorted. However, the test for a short doesn't verify if it outputting the correct voltage or not.

                                        For example, a AL1117-33 regulator should output 3.3V DC. The suffix -33 denotes the output voltage.

                                          I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:

                                          When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

                                          Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement
                                          by diamon
                                          I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.

                                          Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
                                          Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

                                          Dell 5410 greyed out BT
                                          by OntarioTL
                                          Well I've learned something new today. Of all the Dell laptops I've come across I have never seen bluetooth greyed out, and only to learn this is during the build from Dell factory. I've tried to pull the original BIOS and fix with another dell with the same issue on the forums, however the original was not recovered from the forum upgrade so I cannot do a comparison to attempt the fix on my own.

                                          If someone could help me out with this unit and I'll try the next one as so far I have 2 on my desk with this issue. Thanks in advance!

                                          Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?

                                          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.

                                          Dell G5 SE 5505 - "Invalid memory installed" after BIOS update.

                                          Hello!

                                          I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
                                          [OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
                                          I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
                                          The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
