Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
It may be me but I dont see them?
Retiredcaps and I are talking about the connector pins between the power board and the logic board - 4 pins I think CE102?.
You will need it powered up for this. I also notice that in the pics the boards appear to on the metal frame of the monitor? Do not have it touching like that when powered up and do not put down on metal for at least five minutes after its been powered up (Preferably not at all)Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
There are actually 8 pins from the power connectors
pin1: -0.0005V pin2: -0.0005V
pin3: -0.0005V pin4: 5.12V
pin5: 5.12V pin6: 5.12V
pin7: -0.0005 pin8: 3.24V
For the Transformer the combination of pins 1, 4, 5, 8 gave no readings.
combinations of pins 2, 3, 6, 7 gave all readings from 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6Attached FilesComment

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
1) The inverter section typically uses 12V or more. Without this voltage the backlight will never come on.
2) I circled the 2 output diodes. One will be 5V and the other should be 12V or more.
3) Put your multimeter on DC volts (20V if manual). Plug in the lcd and power it on. Put your black probe on a ground screw. Put your red probe on the middle pin of each red circled diode. Report the readings and see if they are stable or not.
4) Indicate in the diagram which diode is 5V so we know which is which.Attached Files--- begin sig file ---

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
5) See if these two mosfets (yellow) are shorted or not. My 2 seconds to black guide has the procedures for testing shorted mosfets.
6) On the back of the pcb, there is a smd fuse marked "P" (just below the 16 multipin IC). See if it is open. It is probably okay, but let's get confirmation. Refer to guide again.Attached FilesLast edited by retiredcaps; 02-11-2012, 07:13 PM.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
I'm getting the same values for each of the mosfets.
measuring pins 1 and 2, won't give me a reading no matter how high i raise the range
measuring pins 1 and 3, gives me 0.823 on the 2K range
measuring pins 2 and 3 gives me 0.302 on the 2K range
The P smd fuse had a reading of 0.4 ohms so its still working.Comment

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
I spy with my little eyes, F101 (SMD "Y") on the backside of the pcb just below those 8 connectors. See if it is open.

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
Okay, for all the components circled in green, measure the DC voltage of each. For caps, put red probe to positive and black probe to negative. Report all the voltages.Attached Files--- begin sig file ---

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
And this should be done while plugged off correct?Comment

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
For voltage readings, the lcd is plugged in and turned on.
Resistance measurements are always done with power off and lcd unplugged.
If you have to flip the board over to make voltage measurement, use a piece of cardboard as an insulator.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
edit: I did find a schematic at
page 59 shows CN801 and the pinouts. It doesn't show the inverter voltages on the CN801 so it must be right then?Last edited by retiredcaps; 02-12-2012, 03:10 AM.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
1) Take a look at this diagram.
http://lcdparts.net/TransformerDetai...ProductID=3359
2) Set your multimeter to 2000 ohm scale if it manual.
3) Measure the resistance (power off, lcd unplugged) between S1 and S2. Do the same for S3 and S4.
4) Regarding the "no readings". A multimeter always gives a reading. If it shows "1" on the left hand side, it is telling you that the value is out of range or infinity for your chosen ohm setting.
5) BTW, this is unlikely to be your problem as PlainBill gave more plausible reasons. I just wanted to make sure you understand how to properly test this transformer.
6) For the tcon panel, you will have to post a picture of it. It is the board that is near the top of your lcd probably underneath a metal shield.
7) The tcon usually has a SMD fuse. It could be open and causing your white/grey screen.
8) Reseat and clean the tcon connection as well.Last edited by retiredcaps; 02-12-2012, 03:26 AM.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
@retiredcaps. Hi - You've lost me there- what must be right?
Also the schematic shows a different Power board- is that relevant? see pic. On Page 57 it says something about changed values for caps and resistors on Panel Enable circuit which I thought might apply but as I dont really understand schematics thought i'd ask see picAttached FilesPlease upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Viewsonic VX2255WMB Grey Screen
I was thrown off by the negative voltages reported on the connector in post #23. Some of the questions regarding multimeter usage also led me to think that the negative readings were incorrect.
That led to all those voltage measurements on the caps and diodes to verify that the voltage for the inverter section was actually stable and existed.
Reading and understanding schematics is still something I'm learning so I don't know why the changed values. Maybe they found that the original specifications were failing under load?Also the schematic shows a different Power board- is that relevant? see pic.

Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.
The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine
During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and... -
Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!
My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.
This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen... -
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...

Having this very weird issue.

I swapped with a working screen from an A2141 waiting for parts.
The Os exhibits this weird behavior where it boots to to 1/3 the status bar, then it makes the boop sound. It's at the log in but for whatever reason the desktop isn't loaded.

Hello. I have a problem with my AOC 27 monitor, specifically model Q27G2WG4, which I have been using for 3 years. The monitor stopped turning on: when I turn it on, the backlight turns on, the indicator starts glowing white, but the logo on the screen does not appear, and there is no image. However, if I check in the Windows system, the monitor is displayed as connected and working. I tried connecting it via HDMI and DP, but the result remains the same. If I turn the monitor on and off multiple times, it will eventually start and work. However, when the monitor is working, there are no issues....
