    Dell E172fpb

    I have this monitor and when i turn it on, the pic comes on for a second then goes off. The light stays green and does NOT flash. If i put a flashlight up to the monitor i can see the image. Is there any easy fix?


    I have seen the 7 page thread but is it just saying to buy a new board? if so where can i get one?

          Thanks, well from what they said from that thread was that every time they replaces the bad parts on it, the monitor broke again. All i found was to buy a new inverter board.

          I did find a repair kit on ebay for this and people seem to like the kit. Should I just try that as it is only 15 bucks?

                  I have the same monitor with the same problem. The green light stays on and the screen only displays an image for a second. When you shine a flashlight on the screen, you can see an image. Is this a problem with the backlight or the inverter/power board? I'm a newbie, so any help would be appreciated. By the way, what fix did you find on ebay, Guod?

                          Dell monitor PSU vs Dell laptop PSU
                          by keepread
                          Hi there!
                          Someone gave me their old monitor, it's Dell S2715ht.
                          The owner was using it when his PSU began to smell and then to smoke. It literally began to melt. He turned the monitor off, pulled the PSU, and ditched it because it was smelly even after it cooled. So I got the monitor but not the plug.
                          Now, I tried to bring the monitor back to life, by plugging one of my many Dell laptop PSUs. They are of the same 19.5V, and the wattage of the laptop PSU is higher than that which the monitor is rated for. Visually, the socket on the monitor seems compatible, and the plug plugs...

                          Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
                          by Borse2008
                          Hi everyone,

                          Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

                          I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
                          • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.
                          • There’s
                          ...

                          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...

                          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...

                          Issues Reviving Old Dell 2408WFPb Monitor
                          by Jesus Coder
                          Hello everyone,

                          I have been having some difficulties reviving an old Dell 2408WFPb PC monitor that I received for free. When I first acquired it, the backlights of the display were on but alas no image was showing. After extensive research on the topic, I went ahead and purchased a new t-con board for the monitor. After installing the board, I was then presented with a new screen that was half black and half green (more so black). I have been unable to figure out what to do next as I have limited knowledge of display electronics. Might anyone on this forum have an idea of what may...
