    Dell 2007FPb cannot stay on

    I picked up a Dell 2007 FPb from someone else. Its symptom is after power on (press the on/off button), the initial Dell logo animation just shows up for less than half second and then black screen. The power led stay green and with flashlight at 45 degree I can't see any image. After reading a few threads about this monitor, I guess it is somewhere on the inverter board but could find any obvious defect part. So I took pictures for all the four boards and try to see whether expert here can give me some suggestion. Thanks a lot.

    In the last picture there is a small yellow torpedo fuse - test it. Should be ok as you do get a flash. Next test the secondary windings on the 3 transformers on that same board.
    Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

      Sorry. I was away for a week from my office. I test the resistence of the yellow fuse by multimeter, seems to be OK. How to check the transformer? Should I put the four boards together and plug in? Thanks.

        Check the inverter transformer secondary side resistance.
        If you search the '2007fpb', you will get lots of threads.

          Re: Dell 2007FPb cannot stay on

          I did checking according to the post:
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...pb+transformer
          The resistence between 5 and 6 is out of my multimeter reading range for all the three transformers, between 7 and 8 is something around 9 Milliion om for all three of the them. When I hook up all the four boards together and plug in the the inverter connector in to A,B,C,D separately, I could not see the screen was lit up after turn on the power. How to see the "lamp flash briefly"?
          Thanks.

            Re: Dell 2007FPb cannot stay on

            Pin 8 and the bottom pin where the dot is that is one high voltage winding for the left side of the transformer, pin 5 and the bottom right pin is for another winding, it should be around 1000 Ohms.
            Same pin out as this one:

              Re: Dell 2007FPb cannot stay on

              I checked the resistence, all six pairs are about 1060 ohms except the right most (ie the pair for the pin 5 as labelled) is 1389 ohms. Do you think this reading ok?
              Thanks.

                No, it (1389 ohms) is bad. The readings should be within 3% of each other.

                    Thanks for both of you. What "keyword" shall I use to find a replacement on those website such as digikey.com or newark.com? The label on top of them is 1J.26061.001 4001R 613003

                      I don't see any replacement parts for a 4001R on ebay or http://lcdparts.net/T.aspx.

                          I forgot that an USA member might also have the 4001R transformer from a repair gone bad. If you are interested, I can send him an email to see if he still has one and put you two in contact?

                              Just to update. I finally received the inverter board from the Chinese ebay store and now the monitor works. Thank all you guys very much for the helps.
                              One more thing, just found on ebay this inverter board is also available now for $20 from a US seller.

                                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.

                                by ckom26
                                Hello, folks.
                                Please, forgive this dumb question but I own a 2007FPb whose logic board is FUBAR (really). Obtaining a replacement is not easy any more (or unreasonably expensive) so I was wondering if replacing the logic board with one from the same line (e.g. 1708FP or 1907FP) would bring it back to life. Are the resolution capabilities for each one "hardcoded" into the main GENESIS chip or auto-sensed and applied? Has anyone tried something similar?
