    Dell 2001FP - No Image

    Hey, guys... I've done some searching on this, but haven't really found anything directly related to my issues, so I figured I'd ask for some advice. I apologize if this has been asked and answered.

    The monitor is many years old and has run 24/7 from day 1, but recently stopped displaying images. The monitor has power, the power/mode/etc LEDs all seem to be functioning, and when the power button is first turned on the monitor will display a "faint" Dell Ultrasharp splash screen, but then goes blank... no OSD, no nothing via VGA and DVI ports.

    I've successfully repaired cap/inverter issues in other monitors, plasma TVs, etc, but this one has me a little stumped... it's not an integral part of my operations, so I've just really been "playing" with it and I don't want to give up on it just yet.

    I've disassembled the monitor and inspected its components, but cannot see any visual defects to the PCBs/caps/components... I've cleaned up everything real good, reassembled the unit, and still have the same problem. There's a ton of diagnostic work that could still be done, but I'm looking for some direction from you guys first... the way it's acting makes me think it's inverter issues, but the initial splash screen display gives me pause. Has anyone encountered something similar?

    Thanks,
    JAM

      Sorry, I forgot to add that the "flashlight trick" is no joy, too.

          1) I always recommend hooking up a source so you can see your favourite wallpaper or movie.

          2) If the power LED is functioning, this implies your power and main board are likely working okay.

          3) If the backlight does not come on, it implies

          i) blown fuse in the inverter section
          ii) shorted mosfet or transistor in the inverter section

          4) We can suggest test points if you post clear focused top down view pictures of the boards following my sig file below exactly.
          --- begin sig file ---

          If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

          We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

          Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

              Read more. When the power supply is connected, the front panel indicators light up briefly.
              When you press the power button, the button indicator lights up. The board works
              there is no image, there is no matrix initialization, there is no image on HDMI.
              When turned on, the fans do not spin, but when they warm up they start spinning.

              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...

              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...

              HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
              by momaka
              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...

              AOC 27 monitor Q27G2WG4 doesn't display logo or image on screen
              by 3D Modelka
              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....
