    Re: HP no backlight

    Thanks jetadm123 it appears from the schematic that the plus side of C122 (which was lifted) goes to pin 8 of Q104 so should I connect these two points?

    A lifted pad/trace on a circuit board is considered unreliable and should be repaired using point to point wiring. Solder one end of a wire to the lifted lead of C122 and the other end to solder a pad at the other end of that trace.

    I have carefully looked over the board and I am unable to see any thing that looks like a grn? I did discover a lifted trace on C122 but it is still contacting. Not sure where I go from here?

    Re: HP no backlight

    Thanks guys I will go over the board again to be sure there are no shorts caused by my soldering. I will report back

    I would suggest you to recheck all your works just to be sure.

    As retiredcaps mentioned earlier, the lack of VDD reading around 5V could indicate a possible short. When you soldered in the new caps in the inverter section, did you make sure that there were no solder bridges that might cause a short?

    Also, if you continue going through the flowchart, you'll see that very few of your voltage readings meet the suggested values for I101. It's understood that since you don't have a scope, you cannot perform some of the steps.

    Thanks jetadm123 yes I did replace C102. I could remove it?? I am getting slight a humming on the board as I indicated earlier and I can't tell where it is coming from but it is close to one of the transformer. T101 or T102. What does that indicate? Should that be a concern?

    Re: HP no backlight

    Here are my thoughts so far:

    I looked at the datasheet for the OZ9938 and the min VDD is 4.5V. If the OZ9930 is similar, then your VDD is too low. I'm wondering if that .6V difference is enough to cause it not to operate?

    When you said you changed all the caps, do you also change C102? If not, try changing it and see what happens.

    C102 appears to be a filter cap to protect VDD against voltage spikes/noise. If you don't have a spare cap for C102, for testing purposes, leave C102 off the board and see if VDD increases. If not, then something could be wrong with the OZ9930.

    The voltage across C102 is 3.91v Grn to + 3.91 and Grn to - 0 v I have no idea where the first reading came from I thought I may have read C105 but there is 2.5 v across that one. sorry

    If you're still seeing .9V across C102, it sounds like it's shorted to ground. I would try changing it to see what happens.

    pin 8 is reading 0.780 megohms

    Re: HP no backlight

    OK, is pin 8 = 0.780 Ohm or 780 Ohms? if it is 0.780 Ohms, then there is short circuit around pin 8.
    VDD pin also seems low at less than 100 Ohms.

    Can you read C102 again. It's "+" leg is sharing VDD and should also read 3.2V.

    Thanks budm with black prob on GRN screw the read as follows pin 1- 0L pin 2- 0L pin 3- Grn 0
    pin 4- 0L pin 5 0L pin 6- 93.0 ohms pin 7-119 ohms pin 8 .780 mohms
    Jetadm123 R105 22ohms C102 reads 16.30 mohms one way 0L the other Un plugged no power
    Plugged in power on connected to running computer R102 reads 5 v one side 3.2 v other side and C102 reads .9volts one side and 0 other side and across C102 is .9 volts

    Can I get the resistance reading of each pin of the PWM IC OZ9930 and Ground?

    Re: HP no backlight

    I see what you mean. Since they say "pin", it sounds more like a test point, but I'm not sure. However, I think most members agree it's an inverter problem and I would go on to the next step, checking pin 6 of I101. You read 3.8V versus the suggested 5V (I don't know what the min VDD is for the OZ9930). The flowchart says to check R105 and C112. I think it's a typo and they meant C102 instead of C112, since C112 is not part of the VDD circuit.

    Thanks jetadm123 I have been away but will get some readings as soon as I get back on track. Question on the trouble shooting page check voltage on pin C112 is that across the cap c112?
    Thanks budm truly appreciate it. This f2105 do have lines but they are shadows of the objects on the desktop and a very slow refresh rate. Takes the mouse for ever to move from one point to the other? I will start another thread on that one later

    davg, I hope if you do not mind, I post your pictures of the boards on my Photobucket.
    By the way, the HP F2105 are know for having bad lamp assemblies and bad LCD panel (vertical lines), I had done 5 of them, all with bad lamp assemblies.

    Thanks budm for the service manual, it helps a lot.

    davg- on the VS19 service manual, go to page 15 for troubleshooting the inverter circuit and try taking some of the recommended voltage measurements.

    Thanks retiredcaps these two points are reading .458k and .454k
    Thanks budm great information and will require much study. Great troubleshooting section. Don't put away your HP pictures yet because I have a HP f2105 that I have been trying to find a service manual for if I may be so bold??

    UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
    by triplefour
    this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
    i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
    unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
    according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

    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...

    No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
    by Comp_Pro
    Hello all,

    Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

    Tests performed:

    There is no backlight even with a good screen.
    Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
    Fuse F8400 ok
    Current sense resistor R8400 ok
    Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
    Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
    Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
    Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
    I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

    iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
    by cheebster
    Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
    Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
    Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
    The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
    Anyone...

    LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold
    by canadaboy25
    Hi all,

    I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

    I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
