    AL2216W Back-lighting Problems

    I recently got a Acer AL216W Version: AL2216W bd from a friend. The screen turns on and goes dark then turns on shows the desktop and goes blank. By holding my iPhone's light I can see the image on the screen. I found a new power board assuming a component on it was the problem from reading other threads however the problem is still there and the seller assured me that all the components on the board were tested and working prior to him selling it.

    I am new to this area of electronics and i am eager to learn. I have a basic multi-meter at my disposal.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

      If you replaced the Power supply/inverter board and you still get 2-second to balck, then the next place to look will be the lamp assemblies.

          I disassembled the LCD and looked a the back-lights and they look fine (attached a picture of one, the other one looks identical in terms of ware).

          Can they still be bad and look fine?

          Also is the a way to test them?

              You can hook the lamps back up, you do not need to the the T-CON board connection between the LCD panel and the Main/Logic board connected, but you do need to have it hooked up to running PC. It only has one set of lamps?
              I can see blackened end of the lamps, also gently tug on the the wires to see if it will easily come off due to poor soldering works.

                  Under closer analysis of the bulbs noticed a small crack on the bottom of one of the lamps and I am having them sent out for repair. I will post results when I get them back.


                  No it has two sets of bulbs

                          When I say repair I sent them to a service where they replace the bulbs test them and send them back. I could not find a website where they just sold the bulbs so I could do it my self.

                          Lol should of been more specific

                              Hello,
                              on this laptop hp g72 b52sf i have screen problems as you can see with the photo joined in attachments.
                              the used graphic card is "intel hd graphics" and the id of the integrated screen is : "monitor/SEC3354".
                              i verified the driver of the péripherals and they are ok. i verified the definition and settings of the graphic card and of the screen : definition 1600x900 and refreshment frequency :60hz. (they are the sames for the graphic card and the screen).
                              i don't understand the reasons of the white stripe at the bottom of the screen below the task...

                              USB problems?
                              by Hondaman
                              Recently I discovered my SSD died (OCZ/Toshiba 240 GB). It was in a USB enclosure, attached to the Linksys WRT-AC1200 router. Since then I removed the USB enclosure and attached it to my Win7 PC (AMD 8150 CPU, 970 chipset, 64 GB RAM). I also gathered one or two other USB enclosures to figure out what is going on.

                              (I suspect that I lost quite a few MP3 and FLAC files I recently ripped from my audio CDs, I think I lost very little un-replaceable stuff.)

                              I think it is IMPOSSIBLE for Win7 to have any problems with a USB enclosure as long as Win7 knows how to speak to the...

                              Lenovo 11e problems (any sata hdds are not recognized, sleep battery drain)
                              by clabr
                              Need help to solve some problems with this laptop.

                              After working in bed with it one night and heating up too much (probably the cause of this problems) the sata HDD OS windows froze
                              After restart the original Sata HDD was not recognized anymore (but works fine in other laptops or PCs)

                              Tried connecting other good Sata 2.5 HDDs but not one is working in this laptop anymore (not the original nor others)

                              Before this had happened I observed some other problems:
                              When I tried replacing original mecanical HDD with a SSD HDD could not get them...

                              Lenovo X13-Yoga Gen 1: hibernation problems
                              by rumpumpel1
                              I have a Lenovo X13-Yoga Gen 1 that has problems with hibernation mode. When the laptop goes to hibernation mode - either via the start menu or after a time-out - after a short period of activity where the power-on LED flashes, the power consumption should go down to almost 0 and the LED should go out. Most of the time, however, the power consumption indicates further CPU activity and the power LED remains on, but there is no image. Sometimes the CPU activity stops after a few minutes, sometimes not at all. If the laptop enters this state, it can only be brought back to life by a long press on...

                              No Display. Just random blocks of grouped vertical red lines.
                              Disconnect right 1/2 panel (rear view), left 1/2 displays properly

                              Reduced masking to 5 signals on right 1/2 panel and get perfect picture

                              Pins are

                              1 GND

                              VGHD and LC1 masking is absolutely necessary to get working panel. Didn't unmask 3-5 individually.
