    HP w1907 monitor blown(no power at all)

    I recently moved to a new appartment and I connected my monitor directly to the AC supply on the wall(Totally forgot to use surge protector). the monitor blew immediately and turned off. There was sound and burning smell. I read few things on here so i decided to open up the monitor and checked the caps but all the caps looked fine. I have bought a new monitor because the blown monitor is already old. I want to fix the monitor on my own so i can learn something about electronics before i go back to school for electronics. Am switching my major from the boring biology to electronics. Since am a beginner please where do i start from to fix the monitor. Thank you very much for any help. Please be easy on my questions since am starting.

    You will need a multimeter to check the following:

    1) fuse - a good fuse should measure less than 1.0 ohms
    2) bridge rectifier - see if it it shorted
    3) power mosfet - see if it is shorted

    I have written procedures for 2 and 3 above in prior posts.

        What is your budget for a multimeter? If it is around $100 and want a Fluke, I just wrote this last night.

        https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...1&postcount=66

        If your budget is otherwise and want a new one, I can make other suggestions.

            1) No multimeter can measure ESR. For that you need a standalone specialized ESR meter.

            2) You can spend $100 for a multimeter and $50 for an ESR meter. For the ESR meter, there have been several discussions in the "Test Equipment Usage, Techniques, and Reviews forum"

            https://www.badcaps.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=33

            3) Dave Jones at eevblog.com has done a $100 multimeter shootout. It is a bit dated, but still gives you an idea on what to look for.

            http://www.eevblog.com/2010/07/11/ee...i-t-part-1of2/

            http://www.eevblog.com/2010/07/11/ee...i-t-part-2of2/

            4) His site also has a ton of multimeter reviews.

            5) Another alternative is to get two $50 multimeters because you may need to measure current and voltage at the same time. Dave's $50 shootout.

            http://www.eevblog.com/2010/06/04/ee...eter-shootout/

            6) Dave's multimeter buyer's guide.

            http://www.eevblog.com/2010/04/14/ee...-buying-guide/

            7) Again, ebay is a viable option for used multimeters, but obviously caveat emptor. Every multimeter I have at home is used.

              Re: HP w1907 monitor blown(no power at all)

              I went through most of the links and they seem little confusing. Ok i decided to buy two $50 multimeters but they are not true rms. Does it matter for am trying to do? I have decided on the extech ex330. Will the ex330 be ok for my purpose. Thanks

                Re: HP w1907 monitor blown(no power at all)

                The $100 shootout reminded me of this current ebay deal. I don't have affiliation with the seller (gilco4020) or financial gain from this recommendation. I tried to buy this exact multimeter from the seller, but they have it setup not to even receive emails from non USA members.

                http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...4XR+Multimeter

                The Meterman 34XR sells for $170 CDN at the local electronics store.

                On ebay, you can EASILY get it (+ probes) for $10 as there is often only 1 bidder or no bidders. I suspect the seller bought surplus government multimeters and the government is undergoing a refresh cycle.

                So for $10 + $15 shipping, you can get a true RMS multimeter. My first multimeter was a Meterman 15XP and it works great. If the seller would ship to Canada, I would have one or two of them.

                In the shootout, Dave didn't like its

                a) slow continuity speed
                b) sound of the beeper ("it makes my stomach churn")
                c) uA and A jack a bit loose

                The slow continuity speed could be an issue if you needed to find a short in a circuit and had a lot of things to probe. Otherwise, I don't think it is a negative for your first multimeter.

                On the plus side, you get

                a) true RMS
                b) ability to measure capacitance up to 4000uF (more than enough for TV/lcd troubleshooting), but NOT ESR
                c) name brand company
                d) micro and milli amps (good for electronics)
                e) temperature
                f) frequency
                g) ruggedness (it won't die when you drop it)
                h) backlight
                i) generally good quality probes
                j) min/max
                k) $10!!!!! (get 2)
                l) $10!!!

                Just put in a bid for $12.12 and you should win it for that or less.

                True RMS may be required in your future school studies so it would be good to get.

                PS. True RMS

                    Congratulations. You won. I'm super jealous. Like I said, if the seller would ship to Canada, I would have a more than one.

                    You won't find another True RMS multimeter for $10 from a name brand company.

                    BTW, the probes in the auction look like Fluke TL71 probes. If I'm correct, they sell for $25 brand new. They are nice probes made out of silicon and have a nice feel in the hands.

                      I can't wait to see my first meter haha. BTW how do i find your post on
                      1) fuse - a good fuse should measure less than 1.0 ohms
                      2) bridge rectifier - see if it it shorted
                      3) power mosfet - see if it is shorted

                          I got the meterman but there is no croc or aligator clip so i have orederd one. I have already taken out the main fuse close to where the AC plugs into the board but i was unable to test it with just the test leads without clips. And i have also ordered the blue esr. So I am still waiting to gather my tools. Am i right to check resistance of the fuse out of circuit?

                            For fuses you can test them in circuit and get an accurate reading. It is one of the few things that you can accurately measure resistance "in circuit".

                            PS. You don't need clips do any of the resistance measurements. Clips are useful if you are measuring on the hotside as voltages can be as high as 400V DC. Clips reduce the likelihood of you getting hurt on the hot side, but it doesn't replace knowledge and common sense.

                              I measured two fuses, F801 which is close to the AC source and F802. Both FB01 and F802 measures 0.4ohms so thinking the fuses are ok. Are there anymore fuses am missing on the board that needs to be checked?? I am yet to check on the mosfet. Can you please show me which ones are/is the mosfet? I am thinking is the three pin thing on the heatsink. I have posted pictures of my board.

                                Cant see the pictures of your board as of yet.

                                Here is a link to the service manual for your monitor too.

                                          by Tynan Dill
                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Hi all!

                                          I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                                          I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                                          Hi all,

                                          TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                                          I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                                          A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                                          by sam_sam_sam
                                          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                                          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                                          Hi, i was given this lcd monitor last week with the issue of power led blinking. Upon checking the power board, i found 2 pieces electrolytic caps bulged and replaced them.
                                          Later, when i switched on ac power and detected 5v and 15v dc at output pins. But as soon as i pressed on the front power button, the led on power button lights for 1 second and it turns off.

                                          So, i tried disconnect the flex ribbon cable from t con board. But all i got is a white screen with nothing on. I suspect there is something short somewhere that prevent the display being turned on. Can someone with...
