Out of circuit, the KA431 shunt regulator did not behave right per simple VOM checks. Swapped in a replacement KA431, and voila!
      Yea I know I am responding to a very old post but when I read this I had to respond to the comment

      I have used this method before but I recently saw a YouTube video where this woman use the diode test on a multi meter and it does a better job according to her but I have not tried this yet my self but I am going to try it when I have something to troubleshoot again that I have more than one of the exact same units

        Re: Dell 2408WFPb / 2408WFP - No Power

        My ±13 year old dell suffers the same problem - power on and lights up but just white blank screen with limited menu button control. Guess that's pretty common issue with these dell 2408 monitors...Thank you all for the tips and fixes.

          My 2408 seems to have issues with overheating. Its been running fine, but now that summer weather is kicking in, it seems like it gets too hot and then shuts off.

          I'm assuming its heat, because with a temperature gun aimed at the front of the screen immediately after it blanks out, it's reading about 108 at the top-center.

          The power LED stays green, but the screen goes completely blank. I can try unplugging and plugging it back in, but results differ. Sometimes the power LED flickers on as I plug it in, but then stays off. Other times, the power LED turns on, but still a blank screen.

          If I let it cool down while unplugged, it seems to power back on again.

          I'm not electronically inclined, trying to learn though.

            Re: Dell 2408WFPb / 2408WFP - No Power

            Just this week I had the same problem like some users in the beginning of the thread: My Dell 2408WFP could not turn on, the power LED was slowly blinking. Looked like a restart loop. When disassembled, I too noticed the PSU board clicking, the sound coming from somewhere near the right side of the board.

            All caps looked good to the naked eye (no bulging, no discoloration, no corrosion or any other noticeable irregularity). So first I replaced only the AK431AZ, but after that the issue was still present. Then I replaced C606 and C611, as well as the large 120uF cap. The monitor is now working without a hiccup

            Big thanks to this forum and its users!

              Hi, have same monitor it was working normally until I open it to clean with brush, nothing special and it was a bit dusty from inside. No bad caps or any burns, and when I assemble it it won't turn On at all, no green light no anything...Not sure if problem is in flex cable that connects front buttons or something else...Don't have multimeter to measure.

                EDIT:

                Now when I was looking on the downside of caps I found that on PSU section one cap leaked, could only that cap be the cause of monitor not to power on ?

                  Yes, it could be.
                  The capacitor costs nearly nothing ( 5 for 1 € )
                  You should try to change it ( or make it done by someone who could

                    I will replace them all, I already ordered rubycon/nichicon low esr caps, don't know why they didn't put low esr on power supply... That leaked one is lelon they are reeealy garbage caps just like capxon, and hopefully after recap it will work. I really didn't expect dead monitor after just going with brush a little to clean dust of everything (monitor was never opened) I didn't even disconnect any of boards or anything like that and when I assemble it completely dead. First I was thinking of that flex cable for buttons, but it's not garbage and can't damage just like that I was really carefully when I disassemble the monitor didn't stretch anything or force anything. So my only suspect was that cap and one that is near I think same values, it got funny color just like this one but it didn't leak.

                      Monitor fixed. It was caps on PSU, I replaced them all with quality ones rubycon/nichicon, and one mosfet died probably because of one really dead(burned) capacitor.

                        Hi,

                        I have similar problem that I descripted here..

                        Shortly: power led is green, backlight is working but screen is blank with no OSD.
                        Today I heated up the two heatsink with hairdryer, plug the cord, pres.s power button and something appeard on the screen. More like some artifacts, but when I pressed input button, blue rectangle from OSD showed up in the corner. It was without port icon and port name.

                        I consider to buy hot air station to reheat these two chips.

                        Do you think is this issue still worth of affort?​

                          Hmm, not similar at all, mine wasn't turning On at all. And I noticed on the bottom of the caps(few of them) they leaked, when looking from the top they all look fine.


                          Is it just mine 2408W monitor that is extremely hot on the top of when it's on for like 2-3 hours or that's normal ?

                              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.

                              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!
