    HG281D Backlight Adjustment?

    Hello,
    I have a HG281D 28" LCD that I just purchased on eBay that came back from Hanns-g repair. The monitor works fine, BUT the backlight brightness is all the way up to 100% and it is still not near as bright as my older same exact monitor.
    I have compaired every menu setting from my older monitor to this one and they are setup the same.
    My question is: Is there an internal adjustment for the brightness?
    Thank you.

    Does it have auto backlight brightness?
    Do NOT touch heatsinks when testing for voltages as they may be LIVE!

      Not that I know about. How could I tell if it does?

        I may have a failing inverter board issue, not sure.

          Should be an option in the menu to switch it off if it has it.

            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...

            NEWSYNC B27F165 MONITOR HAS NO BACKLIGHT. board no: JY85QS_UPH_LS_R10.3
            by Zilicon
            Greetings everyone.
            Please I need help with the above monitor.

            Below is the summary of what happened and what I have done:

            The monitor started by turning off 2 seconds after it was turned on. It displayed with a backlight when it turned on. However, the standby light remains on after it is turned off on its own, I have to press the power button again to turn it on, but it will go back to standby after 2 seconds.

            The backlight driver IC is 0b3350cp.

            I applied a 370k SMD resistor on the CMP pin which is pin 6, while the other...

            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 U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
            by turmix
            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...

            DIGMA PRO Art M Monitor 5K IPS 60hz only backlight
            by Chiro
            Hello everyone,

            The monitor has no visible external damage and has not been dropped. Currently, the backlight is on, but no image is displayed. I have replaced the power and HDMI cables, and connected it to my laptop (the graphics card detects the monitor, but no image appears). The service menu is also unresponsive. Could anyone share insights on troubleshooting or repair options for this issue?
