    dell se198wfpf repair

    Hello

    I have a monitor that recently blew up when plugged in.
    There was a pop and then then wonderful smell.

    Upon opening the case and removing the board, there is zero visible damage.
    I suspect the fuse blew.
    Does anyone have a quick fix or possible ideas for fixing this.
    I live in a tiny town- and I can guarantee I will not be able to source parts here.
    I will probably need to order parts.
    The search yielded results, but all posts contained boards that had visible damage. I see nothing.
    The monitor is dead - without any sign of life whatsoever.
    Thank you

    1) A good fuse should measure less than 1.0 ohms.
    2) Check your bridge rectifier for shorts.
    3) Check your power mosfet for shorts.
    4) If you don't know what #2 and #3 are, post a picture of your board following the instructions below exactly.

    #2 and #3 are the most likely candidates to take out the fuse.

    If you wrote in that style above, I would not taken the time to answer. Many others here would have done the same and moved onto the next thread. This is not twitter or some phone text forum.

    And NO, I'm not grumpy or an English major, but think, garbage in, garbage out.

          that would have simply been deleted....because not only does it make you look like a tard that shouldn't be working on electronics, it drops the overall IQ of the forum a few points.... Seriously? You type like that? That may be the cool thing to do on facebook or some other teenage hangout....but anywhere else in the world, its just laughable gibberish.

              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.
              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

              Dell Pro 13 Plus PB13250 Bios Unlock
              by Akhlz001
              Hi,

              Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate...

              Dell Inspiron 5590 Board 18778-1 no charging, charging not possible
              by master3112
              I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

              Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.

              The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...

              A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
              by corrize
              Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
              I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
              The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
              There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
              And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...
