    I am also trying to repair a Dell 2408WFPb. I have the same problem as mentioned in one of the previous posts. A led light that blinks one time and the monitor won't turn on. The power supply is OK, because CN701 has about 24V on the output. The reason that the inverter board doesn't power on is simple. The first black wire on CN701 is the ON/OFF signal and it's 0V.

    I started to suspect the mainboard and I found a way to power up this board. It seems like there are two main sections on it. Each section has a big chip, a crystal and a voltage regulator. First, I measured the section at the side where the power supply cable comes in. The crystal has a perfect sine wave and the voltage regulator shows a perfect 1.8V. But there is no voltage on the second crystal and voltage regulator.

    I heated the heatsink and the onboard chip in the first section very carefully with a hot air rework station. Then I tried to power up the monitor and it was working great again. I waited some time until the heatsink was cooled down. The monitor did not start up. I heated the heatsink and chip again and the monitor was working fine.

    I think there is a cold solder joint in one of the pins of this chip. Maybe a reflow precedure will solve the problem, although this method is not very reliable. I hope this post will help other people to troubleshoot this specific problem.

    Hi ! Did you try to reflow the faulty chip ? I've quite the same problem.

    With plugging the screen I got :
    -> Green Led, Orange led, Green (flickering) slowly changing to orange.
    -> No Backlight
    -> Power supply Ok

    Before this, it was difficult to start it up (Had to plug/unplug it multiple times). Sometimes, the screen went black for 1/2sec and back on.

    The radiator of the chip you describe is warm after few minutes plugged in.

    It definitely seems to be the faulty part, with HDMI connected to my laptop, the screen is recognized just when I plug it, and when the 2nd green led lights up (which seem's to be a bug because of a malfunction of the CPU of the screen) it is no more.

    Hope it can help someone to find a solution ...

    (Sorry If there're some mistakes, I'm french)

      Hi YulCmr,

      Yes, I reflowed the chip. But it didn't work. After cooling down the chip, the problem occurred again.

      When the heatsink is cold, the monitor didn't start up in my case. Even the power led didn't light up. When you blow some hot air on the heatsink, the monitor will power up.

      It's a structural problem in this monitor type and it's really annoying when manufacturers use these BGA chips in combination with lead free solder.

      I am afraid your monitor is beyond repair...

        Hi,
        all finaly arrived, i change

        IC601 1203P60 measured voltage between VCC and GNC 5-10V it oscilating
        IC651 L6561 measured voltage between VCC and GNC 1,12V - should be around 11V???

        on big capacitor is 320V stable on cables from power board used blue for ground

        red 5,5 - 6,5V
        yellow 5,5 - 6,5V
        green 5,5 - 6,5V

        screen is dark also buttons is dark, no any response any ideas?

            no damage visible..

            forgot mention I also changed IC701 to TL431I and IC603 to MCR100-8

              Re: Dell 2408WFPb / 2408WFP - No Power

              You should also check all the SMD (zener) diodes. There could be one in short circuit. What output voltage do you measure?

                this is from power board to another board CN701 connector but i am not sure where i should get ground

                red 5,5 - 6,5V
                yellow 5,5 - 6,5V
                green 5,5 - 6,5V

                  When you put this board back in the monitor and fix it with the srews, then you can use the chassis for COLD ground. When you measure the other lines of CN701 with the positive lead of your voltage meter, then at least the of the lines must be around 24V. I don't know the exact value, because it's some months ago I researched this monitor.

                  When you don't measure this value, then something is still wrong in the primary part or secondary part of your power supply. Are all smd diodes ok (the small red parts on the other side of the board)?

                    physically looked ok, also measured them and If i remember everywhere was voltage drop around 0,45-0,55V (just multimeter test) on them but i will check it when it is powered on and also zener diode voltage

                      ok, and try to look for shorted components. These components look physically ok too...

                              it looks like power supply running, i can hear some little noise from 1203P60
                              i can measure voltages on CN701 connector ...

                              grey 3,24V
                              purple 3,2V
                              blue 0
                              green 23,17V

                              black 3,24V


                              problem was in R613 . I damaged it when i solder it .. infinite R measured

                              i can turn it on, and i can see low backlight but not menu etc ... so i probably fixed my power supply to state like before my mistake and short circuit ...

                                I asked for an X-Ray photography of the BGA chip at my work. I will update this thread as soon as I can got it. I hope I'll be able to see some failed solder balls.

                                  manufacturers use these BGA chips in combination with lead free solder.

                                  I am afraid your monitor is beyond repair...
                                  I had same problem, during cold morning i must sometime few times turn of and on againt to correct initialize ... so probably i have same issue

                                    Back from the X-ray photography. No big deal. Every solder ball seems nice and good. Soooo .... the problem is elsewhere. I get it back today, I'll have a look to the board under a microscope.

                                    Is it really impossible to get a service manual for this screen ? I can't find one, even a non-free version.

                                      2) IC601 is likely your SMPS chip.

                                      a) What is the part number?
                                      b) Find the datasheet.
                                      c) Is there DC voltage on the Vcc pin?
                                      d) Is it stable or fluctuating?

                                      3) I assume you have mains x 1.414 DC voltage across the large filter cap? That is 120 V AC x 1.414 roughly 165 V DC?
                                      Good day, I had same power issue with my Dell, I opened it and this is the results. After a nice clean now the led on the power button on the bezel is ON another time, when before didn't light on.

                                      1) Anyway, in the small caps at the right of IC652 I have voltage, fluctuating, from about 0.300v. to -0.100v.

                                      2) the SMPS chip has this part number 1203P60. There is voltage on Vcc pin and it's fluctuating from 12.5v to 14.5v about. When I click on power button the voltage here is stable 14.5v.

                                      PS: Here in Italy we have 220-230V. AC from the power supply line.

                                        Hi YulCmr and Locki. I read your last posts now. It's good to know that the solder balls on the BGA chip are ok after the x-ray photography, so reflowing this chip will be wasting your time... I am pretty sure now that the chip itself is faulty internally. Maybe one of the pins is internally broken. When you heat up the heatsink (and so the chip), the monitor will power on. After cooling down, the problem will be back!!!

                                        There are more Dell monitor types that use similar chips on their mainboards and I have seen the same problem on these boards. Dell doesn't supply parts and when you try to contact them, they will never respond on your messages or call you back. It's pretty frustrating. That's why I recommend my customers nowadays to avoid buying a Dell monitor....

                                          1) Anyway, in the small caps at the right of IC652 I have voltage, fluctuating, from about 0.300v. to -0.100v.

                                          2) the SMPS chip has this part number 1203P60. There is voltage on Vcc pin and it's fluctuating from 12.5v to 14.5v about. When I click on power button the voltage here is stable 14.5v.

                                          PS: Here in Italy we have 220-230V. AC from the power supply line.
                                          Hi Biessea,

                                          try to heat up the heatsink on the mainboard and see whether the monitor powers on. I think you have the same problem as other forum members here.

                                          Never buy a Dell monitor again

                                            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.

                                            Hello everyone,

                                            I'm currently diagnosing a MacBook Pro A1707 motherboard that does not power on. I've gathered some data but am stuck and need expert advice.
                                            Note that i'm a beginner in electronics and i'm trying to learn while trying to repair this macbook that my work gave me. I'm really curious and love understanding how thing works and i already learned so much.

                                            Only one usb c port is taking 20v and have 12.5v on PPBUS_G3H. when trying other ports, 2 are not going to 20v and one is going to 20v but the CD3215 is getting really hot.

                                            this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.

                                            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:

                                            If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

                                            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

                                            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.

                                            Pictures of these boards:

                                            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!
