    SyncMaster 215TW - Weird box

    Hi,
    I am having problems with my Samsung SyncMaster 215TW. At first colour lines started appearing and disappearing on screen during usage, but one morning, after turning it on, only black screen showed up - backlight working, power is on, just black.

    When the DVI cable is disconnected, weird colour rectangle starts moving around (I suppose it is some distorted message monitor shows in standby). Please check attached images.

    I opened it up, searched for bulging caps - found none. Caps used are CapXon, flat heads, no visual damage.

    Have you met with this sort of symptoms, could it be caps, or something faulty in tcon or logic board?

      Samsung SyncMaster 215TW buzzing / lightning in power board socket
      by nh2
      This is my first post here. I just fixed my first 2 broken displays by replacing broken capacitors (Samsung SyncMaster 226BW, and Samsung SyncMaster 213T). But I have a third one I'm unable to fix, and am eager to fix as well:

      My Samsung SyncMaster 215TW makes a buzzing / hissing sound when turned on.

      The sound is louder the brighter the monitor is, e.g. in the "Game" preset is is even louder than in a softer preset.

      Opening up the monitor and unplugging the small socket cables that run from the power board to the LCD, I can see a small blue...

      (Weird) BIOS info for HP Pavilion Aero 13-be1021AU
      by Loki_Fido
      Hi folks,

      This HP Pavilion Aero 13-be1021AU came to me for a repair. And it seems to have a weird BIOS chip. (Pic attached)
      I asked my CH341A to read it and doesn't even know what to do with this. We are both very confused.

      BIOS - XMC 25RU128CH10 (1.8v)

      What the heck is this? I looked all over the MB. This is the only bios.
      When I asked the NeoProgrammer to detect it, it just pops up an empty screen, and asked me to enter the bios number. And when I did, it doesn't do anything. NeoProgrammer showed me just this SPI ID: 204418. Don't know what...

      Samsung Syncmaster 740BF repair
      by soopacrucial
      Hi folks,

      I'm new here and was wondering whether you might be kind enough to give me some advice on troubleshooting the following problem:

      Quite a few years ago now, a couple of years from new, my Samsung Syncmaster 740BF LCD monitor starting playing up by making a buzzing noise and then the display would go blank. I seem to remember the blue power led would also go off when this happened but that I'm not 100% sure of. By pressing the power button I do remember I could at first get it working again but eventually the problem would come back. At the time I had read about...

      APC BR1000G battery backup has a weird issue sometimes a bad battery icon and making a weird sound for about 30 seconds
      by sam_sam_sam
      This started a few days ago and does this about every 8 hours

      After it does this it goes back to normal no bad battery icon and no weird sounds and it goes to battery backup mode so I am not sure what is going on with this battery backup

      The battery backup is about 3 or 4 years old

      Dose anyone have any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue I have never had a battery backup do this kind-a thing before so I am not sure exactly how to troubleshoot it and where to start

      820-02020 Super Weird Issue: Keyboard Input Character Map "Wrong"?
      by ugamazing
      So, I have a really bizarre issue that I'm struggling to identify the cause of. Working on an 820-02020 board with some bizarre keyboard/input-source character mapping. My suspicion is a possible damaged SPI ROM (U1970), perhaps, but I'm really not sure in this case:

      1. The issue is pretty weird, but when installing MacOS, I noticed my WiFi password did not work. I quickly realized the special characters (!@#$%^& etc) were not mapping correctly.

      2. I noticed the keyboard layout/input-source is defaulting to JAPANESE every single time I restore the board. I am not...
