    A Poor Student Needs Help - NEC L70S No Backlight

    This LCD monitor was given to me by my instructor coz' it's lying around in in their attic and was an old model. Since I have no monitor (CMV CT-934D defective main supply regulator) I was very happy to have it but the only problem was when I turned on the power the backlight flash momentarily then black out but the power LED stayed on(green). When I shone flashlight in the screen I could see the icons which means the display is fine and the backlight is defective. Anyone could help me please.

    Sounds like 2 second to black. See posts #19 and 20 at

    2 seconds to black can be (in no particular order)

    a) bad caps
    b) bad inverter transformer
    c) bad ccfls
    d) bad ccfl wiring (especially the return wire)

      Thanks a lot. I will read and follow the instruction in troubleshooting this monitor. Do you have any schematic diagram on CMV CT-934D monitor coz' the PSU components were burned...Here's the attachments...I got the pictures here in this site since it's very similar to the PSU board. And since I have no hd camera to take the pictures.

        Pictures of a similar supply really do not help. Would you turn in a paper written by one of your classmates because 'it was similar to one you would have written'? Even an identical power supply would not have the problem that yours has.

          It is especially bad if the teacher catches you using HIS photos.

          You don't need a HD camera. I shot those photos of MY board using a Canon A80 (8 year old camera).

            My current camera is a 4 Megapixel Olympus D-580. And that is more camera than is necessary - I have to reduce the pictures before uploading. They are now available (used) on eBay for as little as $19 with free shipping.

              UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
              by triplefour
              this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
              i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
              unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
              according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

              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...

              No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
              by Comp_Pro
              Hello all,

              Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

              Tests performed:

              There is no backlight even with a good screen.
              Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
              Fuse F8400 ok
              Current sense resistor R8400 ok
              Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
              Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
              Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
              Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
              I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

              iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
              by cheebster
              Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
              Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
              Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
              The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
              Anyone...

              LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold
              by canadaboy25
              Hi all,

              I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

              I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
