    hey guys, i'm back!! i have another monitor to repair. this monitor is a LCD Dell E176FPf. The problem with this monitor is that it doesn't turn on at all.

      1) A good fuse measures less than 1.0 ohms. Check it (highlighted in yellow).

      2) If the fuse is good, see if secondary DC voltages appear on the logic part of the board. There are 3 voltage regulators marked in red. Measure each pin except the tab with respect to cold ground (use a mounting screw).

      List the part number and DC voltage for each pin.

      3) If all DC voltages are 0.0 V DC, then measure the DC voltage across the legs of the 100uF 450 V cap (marked in blue). It should be 165 V DC if you are in North America.

      4) What is the DC voltage across the startup cap (circled in lime green)? Is it steady or fluctuating?

          This monitor and equivalents are notorious as unrepairable. The fools who designed the firmware save some operating parameters in program memory - the 8 pin IC with the paint dot next to the processor. Eventually the firmware gets corrupted, and the processor won't work. If the proper voltages are present on the processor end of the card, your only hope is finding a source of a chip with the firmware preloaded.

          For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

          Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

                  I there

                  I Have one of these to repair, check the mosfet, the resistors from the PWM IC. This is a common problem on this type of Power supplys.

                      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.

                      Dell thunderbolt firmware, extracted from dell firmware update exe. Padded to 1MB.

                      Some models have a choice of 2 different firmwares, it depends on the dell SKU.

                      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...

                      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...

                      Dell Latitude E7470 i7: no TPM + TXT in BIOS/Firmware (but chip is present on the motherboard)
                      by chaos_prevails
                      Hello,

                      I've purchased 2nd hand Dell Latitude E7470 i7-6600U and it works fine, except ... there are no TPM or TXT/Trusted Execution settings in the BIOS/Firmware. However, looking at the schematics I found the chip handling TPM (NPCT650JA0YX) soldered to the system board. Also, looking at the service tag and the product specifications, this device comes with TPM (and vPro) support (I know that devices sold in China, Russia are not allowed to ship with TPM but this should be reflected in the service tag). I can also login to MBex to configure, etc.

                      In the produce specs...
