      Re: Dell E153FPB Back Light problem

      Hi again,

      Thanks for the advice. I will do that.

      i was thinking about doing a reflow of the solders using a heat gun (using my infrared thermometer to gauge temperature of the PCB). I fixed an IBM laptop that way (the one I'm using to type this).

      Best regards,

      Eric

      ps. Sorry about the picture and the 'great resistance' thing was not meant to be funny, I am not a native english speaker and things can get warped in translation. I meant infinite resistance.

      e.

        Do not use a heat gun. Just use a regular soldering iron to remove the old solder and add fresh new solder.

          I agree. The idea is to change the solder,not re-melt it.
          Reflowing applies to another kind of problems,mostly with BGAs.

          And don't worry about the "great resistance" thing.Here besides helping each other,we have fun....

            Re: Dell E153FPB Back Light problem

            New member here (2nd post).

            I'm working on a Dell e173fpb that would not power up. The power switch/light would repeatedly blink and each time you could see a short burst of backlighting from the lower-left corner (two clues).

            After pulling it apart, giving the boards a visual once-over and finding this post I checked the fuse (FP751) which seemed fine (jumping it caused no change). Next I tested the Q7x0 and Q7x9 transistors and found two (same side) that seemed shorted. After desoldering them I now have a monitor that functions on two lamps but only for a few seconds (screen appears then monitor shuts off, restarts OK). I've ordered a repair kit and will try to come back with an update after I've replaced the two transistors.

            A close visual inspection of the boards (both sides) reveals nothing out of place. I'm about half-way through reading this thread so there may be some nuggets that I haven't found yet.

            Anything else I should check while I'm waiting?

            Cheers and thanks everyone!

              If you add a photo, perhaps we can see if it is an E173 OR an E153, which you have filed this under ???

                1) You MUST resolder all the inverter transformer pins due to poor quality solder/soldering. A visual inspection may seem fine, but you MUST resolder them.

                2) Check all c5707s and fu9024s for shorts.

                  The monitor model is an E173 (as stated in my post).

                    Oh you are SO right! Further inspection of the four inverter transformers joints (while slightly flexing the board) reveals at least five circular fractured joints.

                    There were only four c5707s (two bad, two good). Did not see fu9024 but the other transistors seem to check out.

                    Thanks!

                      Re: Dell E153FPB Back Light problem

                      Repair kit arrived yesterday and after re-soldering all four Xformers (bent the leads out for better electrical / mechanical connection) and replacing two c5707 Xsistors it is back up and running. Will burn it in for a day, but so far so good.

                      Many thanks to the forum and all those who've contributed here!

                        Hello & Happy New Year To All,

                        Can anyone give me a pinout for CN701 on the e153fpb (48.L0H02.A00).
                        I'd like to test for output voltages to logic board.

                        Thanks In Advance,

                          I have a E153FPB with a blurry display. I am not sure where to start because it is only blurry with the VGA input. If I have a signal coming in and click the menu button, the menu looks fine, but the backgroud VGA input is blurry. It almost looks like I can see the progressive scan. My first guess is the actually logic board for video input. What do you guys think... thanks for the help

                            Reseat and clean all your connectors with isopropyl alcohol.

                              Okay, I tried that and it didn't work. I also tried a different cable and source. It has come to my attention that the longer the monitor is on, the worse it gets. It changes from blurry to lines running horizontally flickering up and down the monitor. I tried to take a picture but that did not do any justice.

                                Also, When I hit the menu, the display stops flickering for the 2 seconds it takes for the menu to come up, then continues.

                                      There are 2 voltage regulators on the main/logic board.

                                      1) List the part numbers off the chip.

                                      2) With your multimeter, measure the DC voltage of each pin with respect to ground.

                                      3) When the problem occurs, re-measure the DC voltage on each pin.

                                      4) When the problem occurs, also measure the DC voltage of each connector pin between the power and logic board (yellow/red cable).

                                      We are looking for any fluctuation in DC voltage to see if this is causing the monitor to flicker.

                                        Okay, I got the measurements. I apologize. I didn't mean for it to that long, something came up.

                                        Anyways the numbers on the chips are:
                                        AIC 1084-33CM 584G3 (larger one) PDF Datasheet
                                        BS18532G3 (smaller one) Maybe the end is 63? I couldn't find any information on this chip.

                                        The first chip, (1084-33CM)
                                        0v --- GND
                                        3.26v --- Vout
                                        4.69 --- Vin

                                        The second, (BS18532G3)
                                        0v ---
                                        1.77v ---
                                        3.24v ---

                                        I think these are okay after looking at the datasheet.

                                        Here is the molex connector coming from the PSU board to the video board.
                                        Starting with the yellow pin at the (top)
                                        Y-2.97
                                        Y-2.89
                                        Y-11.66
                                        Y-0 ???
                                        Y-5.05
                                        R-0

                                        I checked these measurements twice, and with a second meter. They are within .01v. The voltages didn't change when the monitor is more blurry than times when it is not.

                                          Yes, they are okay.

                                          Well, I'm out of ideas.

                                            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...
