Dell U2312HM

[Ritalin]

So I actually paid for this monitor cause I was hoping it'd work, but then the person that sent it lied about the condition and ebay says too bad so sad... So now I'm stuck with it or resell it.

Originally it didn't turn on at all, replaced all the caps on the power supply, and now it turns on but you see vertical lines across it and after a little bit the lines go away and is a solid color. So then I start pressing buttons and nothing pops up. Once in a great while, the lower have pops through and can see the menu.

No clue.

Hmm, I haven't heard too many stories about ebay siding with the seller.

Care to share the auction link?

Re: Dell U2312HM

The listing was from last year. And since they sold it 'as/is' it was my responsibility to ask questions. But the screen had some scuff marks on it that I couldn't see from the picture even though it wasn't listed as that it had scuff markings.

Auctions that are "as is" is the seller's "out". I rarely bid on those unless the price is very very low.

Try heating parts of the boards with hairdryer, see if the monitor comes to life. Or try tapping the circuit boards. Sounds like a a bad connection somewhere.

Yes, I've been lucky on most of my Ebay "as-is for parts or not working" purchases. Best one was the Tektronix function generator. 2 resistors and 2 transistors. I considered that one pretty risky, as test gear like that would presumably be owned by someone who'd know how to fix it.

I can't see myself paying for a dead monitor, unless it was something really nice, but then I have a good supply of free ones.

I bid pretty low on this stuff. I get out-bid a lot, by a significant amount on a few things I've been trying to get, but I'm not willing to pay that much for broken stuff.

Re: Dell U2312HM

As Ben 7 says - may be loose connection - try removing cleaning and reseating the LVDS ribbon - - both ends.

There are two voltage regulators on the main board can
you check them as per retiredcaps link. One is U602 cant make out the other.

I'm still rocking a one of my 19" refurbs as I sell the 'good' stuff to keep building up a fund for a new IPS monitor. And this one came along for $60/shipped and I figured, if I can fix an IPS monitor, I can use it for something else.

Re: Dell U2312HM

Even the cost of 'broken' TVs and Monitors, has increased to silly amounts..I saw some standard Dell E172fp types, in a used state, with the comment 'may have pixels missing or dead',and with wear and tear...and the Seller wanted £47.50 each....total nonsense !!!!.The other thing Sellers fail to realise is, Its not what you want for the item BUT what people are willing to pay.
