    AC??? It should be DC.

      Yeah I knew that. (tries to avert your gaze) LOL , tested again with DC (ahem) and this time it showed 5 volts (bangs head on desk.)

          Of course not. If I did, you would tell everyone the TV story.

          p.s. We'll get back to the monitor once I wake up.

              There are three possible causes of this problem. The power supply itself; the inverter,or the logic card. The only time I saw something similar was when their were shorted transistors in the inverter. This overloaded the power supply. HOWEVER, you have determined the 5V supply is stable. Next you can eliminate the inverter as a cause. This is the datasheet for the two ICs (actually paired power mosfets). Check each section of the pair for shorts. Check the resistance between D1 and G1, between G1 and S1, and between D1 and S1; repeat for D2 and G2, between G2 and S2, and between D2 and S2. Do this for BOTH ICs. If there are no shorts, unsolder one end of the jumper I have circled in the attachment. This completely isolates the inverter from the power supply. Now test the board in the monitor - no need to hook up the backlights. All we're interested in at this point is the behavior of the green power light.

              The other two possible causes are the logic board, or more bad caps in either the power supply or the logic card.

                I think I angered it. When I put the board back in to test it started smoking from the actual corner of the screen itself. LOL, Im just going to call this one a bust. Thank you for your patience with me. Until next time

                  Sometimes sacrifices are necessary. When it's a burnt offering, it's better to sacrifice a monitor than and human - well, some humans.

                      Some people learn faster than others. At one time I introduced my wife as 'My first wife.' She retaliated by referring to me as her 'starter Husband.' I decided to refer to her as 'My trophy wife.' Things got a lot calmer after I came to my senses.

                        Save the monitor. You can use parts of it to test (or even fix) other unit(s).
                        I have a box (not too big, but still a box) full of either received dead units, units killed by me in the name of science, or killed by others and donated to me. That box is a very precious resource sometimes ...

                            So I read pretty much the entire thread and im afraid im still not sure where to start. I have the Dell E153FPB. When i turn on the LCD screen it flashes white for a second and then goes black. I cannot see any image on the screen but the LED power light stays on.
                            I tested the fuse PF751 with an ohm meter and it has resistance, so im thinking its not that.
                            I also flipped the board over and didnt see any cold solder joints, fixed a couple that were debatable.

                            Sorry if this is a double post. I couldnt look any longer lol

                              Used a flashlight to see if the panel is on and image is displayed (you would not see it clearly if the CCFLs are off but if you don't have an image, it's not the inverter or tubes.
                              Post series/brand/capacitance of caps, and test each of the four c5707s in there.

                                  I was referring to the specs of the actual caps installed, not the actual capacitance of the caps. If they are a known bad brand , suggestions of replacements would start flowing all over the place. That would be the first step for troubleshooting the board. Not all the problems are related to bad caps, but then again, bad caps can cause problems and interfere with troubleshooting, and as a general rule, if you are going to spend sometime with an open unit, it is usually viewed as a preventive measure, even if the caps are not failing but are of a brand that, under that conditions (heat and poor ventilation) would fail.
                                  Also, again, look for bad solder because that units tend to have that problem, even if it is not easily visible with the naked eye.

                                        Different brands of meters give different results. Were the results the same for all transistors?

                                          Yes they all were. Its a cheap meter so i thought they were find.

                                          I also looked at my LCD with a flashlight to see if i can see the image after it flashes white and i cant see an image. What does this mean?

                                            This happened last Saturday and today I finally had time this morning before I went to work to replace two non brand capacitors

                                            I will let you be the judge weather or not these are bad or not according to the blue ESR meter that I am using

                                            I am comparing them to a brand new one that I installed

                                            The display came back on and the programming was not lost which I was surprised by I would have thought that when the display went blank that so did the memory as well

                                            Hello friends,

                                            A yellow light was flashing on my monitor. It was like it was constantly cutting power. When I opened it up, I saw that the big capacitor in the high voltage line was leaking. I replaced it. When I turned it on for the first time, it had the same problem again. But then, interestingly, it got better. The yellow light was on steady. But the monitor wouldn't turn on. When I examined them with a thermal camera, I saw that the Fli5961-LF reached 50 degrees Celsius and the EM636165TS next to it reached 100 degrees Celsius and was drawing high current on the motherboard....

                                            Hello, I have a Dell 15R-5521, with the problem that the Ctrl, Alt, Shitf and Num Lock keys do not work, I tested the keyboard with a keyboard tester and it is functional, I also got another new keyboard and the computer has the same problem with the same keys. Check continuity between the ZIF connector from the keyboard to the KBC and all pins are correct. I cleaned the ZIF connector and the KBC and I still have the same problem. I reinstalled windows just in case, and it didn't work. I updated the BIOS to the latest version A16 and there were no changes.

                                            As additional information,...

                                            Hello everyone,
                                            so, I have this laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 with a heating problem on both CPU (I7-2680qm) and GPU (GT 525m), I tried many solutions, like changing thermal paste every month, using thermal pads on CPU and GPU, even using thermal pads on CPU nearby coils; but nothing worked, just minutes after booting the laptop shuts itself down so I thought it might be a short problem, so I decided to check what's going on, so I went online and some tutorial (general one) said to check inductors in order to find the shorted circuit, after checking (CPU removed), I found the culprit to be...
