    hp l1950 shuts off after 20 minutes

    Hello, I have a few monitors here that have issues beyond bad caps, which through searching the forums I haven't been able to sort out, so, as a learning experience, I've decided to tackle them. The first is an HP L1950, which goes into standby after about 20 min, a few clicks on the power switch usually gets it to turn back on for a couple more minutes. No visibly bad caps, and I didn't notice any bad solder joints. f901 showed 1.3a, f903 showed 1.6a, but I'll retest those two fuses again, if needed.

      As an update, I just tried the lcd panel plugged into another power board, the backlights stayed lit, and the ther board's panel in this hp, the same standby issue.

          Please add Country,Mains voltage, and measurements taken on the Connector to the Logic board, while the the Monitor is working and when it goes off,particularly the pin which is marked on/off,or similar, that activates the Lamps, this should normally be approx 3v Dc or more,in both states with a PC signal applied.

              Hi, sorry for the long delay, holidays and work put this project on hold, but I got a few free minutes the other night to retest the hp. I'm in Canada, 110v mains. with an old Philips 17" panel connected, the lamps stayed lit, so I retested connecting the hp lamps on at a time, and discovered the bottom plug for one of the lamps (pink wires) is the culprit. If I run two plugs from the Philips and 2 from the hp (blue wires) it'll run for hours, albeit dimly. Is there any way to bypass the bad lamp and run the panel on just the other 2 connections for testing?

                  Lenovo V15-IIL motherboard swap (in V15-IKB) shuts down when internal display is connected
                  by Giggle2562
                  Hello everyone,

                  I have a Lenovo V15-IKB that had a damaged motherboard. I replaced it with a motherboard from a Lenovo V15-IIL.

                  The board powers on, but it shuts down after about 10-15 seconds. This only happens when the internal display (LCD panel) is connected.

                  Here's what I've tried so far:
                  • When the internal display is disconnected, the laptop works perfectly fine via HDMI.
                  • The laptop shows an image on the internal display for a few seconds before it shuts down.
                  • I tried swapping the LCD panel with a known good one.
                  • I tried swapping the LCD cable
                  ...

                  Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 (RTX 4070) - Turns on for a few seconds then shuts off. BIOS issue.
                  by riko 656
                  Hello everyone,
                  I need help with my Lenovo Legion laptop. It turns on for a few seconds and then immediately shuts down. I believe this is a BIOS corruption issue.
                  Laptop Model:
                  • Model: Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8
                  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
                  • Main BIOS chip size: 32MB
                  • VBIOS chip size: 16MB
                  Problem Description: The laptop was working perfectly. Now, when I press the power button, the keyboard lights up and the laptop powers on for just a few seconds, then it shuts itself off completely. After researching, I am convinced it's a corrupt BIOS.
                  What I Have Tried So Far:
                  1. I

                  ASUS FX505GD shuts off after POST — no BIOS, power button unresponsive
                  by brav1ez
                  Hello everyone,
                  I have an ASUS TUF Gaming FX505GD that's powering on, showing the ASUS logo for about 2 seconds with keyboard backlight, then immediately shuts off. After it shuts down, the power button does nothing until I unplug the laptop completely. No fans spin afterward either.

                  I’ve tried:
                  - CMOS reset
                  - Removing the SSD/HDD
                  - Reseating RAM (removing each stick individually stops boot completely)
                  - Cleaning up recently applied thermal paste around CPU/GPU and nearby VRM components (issue persists)

                  With...

                  Asrock z97x starts then shuts off after 4 seconds, sometimes more, no post
                  by chaos-theory
                  I have a really weird problem, this motherboard was working normally, someday it just started and all fans were running but didn't want to post, tried resetting bios, checking CPU and it was getting warm tried external gpu, flashed bios with programmer, but same problem.
                  Next day after several attempts the board goes into protection mode, no more staying on, I turn on the PSU fans starts directly turning, it used to not start until I press the pwr button, now it starts directly and fans spins, and shuts off after 3 seconds sometimes less, then won't start again unless I unplug the PSU and...

                  Philips 58PUS7805/12 showed no picture; after T-Con replacement, shows halo
                  by Rauni
                  Hello, this is my first post on this forum, and my first attempted to repair a TV.

                  My Philips 58PUS7805/12 stopped working recently. It is not that old, about 5 years. We were on a trip for a few days and when we came back, it had stopped working out of a blue (Perhaps our house was hit by a lightning strike? Don't know.)

                  Read from a guide that I should test if the screen shows picture with one of the T-Con cables disconnected. Did that, it showed perfect picture (first on left, later on right side).

                  Read also that we should test what happens if we...
