    Dell 2007 FPb went black all of the sudden.

    Before this I noticed sometimes a very very slight flicker that would go away then one day blam just black. I thought it might be the backlight or something. So after taking it apart it has 4 boards, the PSU all the caps looked fine but two of the others had slightly buldging caps from a brand called Elite which i never saw before. all the bulging ones are 24v, I'm wondering if it's even worth fixing something that old to resell and messing with it for ages. From what i heard Dell doesn't send out extra boards or stock them. So i counted about 8 or so caps that looked suspect. Would someone here go sure it's worth it just order new better caps and see if that is the only problem or just scrap it?

    On edit the rest are perfectly flat on top and no signs of failing but there are a ton of them would it just be better to pick out the visible bad ones instead of the tedious task of doing them all which someone that doesn't do it all the time isn't a breeze like a pro.

    Elite looks like crap! Had a bulging Elite cap in a PSU of a 2003 Dell Dimension 2350 (Has Pentium 4 Northwood 2.2 Ghz) that just had light use. Was mostly idle!

      Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
      by HTR-Informatique
      Hello,

      YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

      I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

      On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

      I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

      I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

      I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

      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...
