Hello dorofteius,
Good to hear that you are up and running again, as for your last post,

( Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)
I just don't know what seems to be the problem. I have canceld the surveilance of the IC )

That seems to be one for DAVMAX or one of the other techies,hope they come in for you, I will follow your problem with intrest, best of luck

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

10x for the reply. In my case, I just don't know what seems to be the problem. I have canceld the surveilance of the IC , and now it seems to be working. None of the c5707 is heating up... All the four lamps are lighting.
The monitor is working for almowst 30 hours now whitout a stop.

Hello and welcome dorofteius
As no tech guys have come in, I may be able to help, as I have done a fair few of these Benq boards, as you have covered the C5707 + fuse + resoldering, they are the norm fixes in my repairs of these boards
Did you check resistance across the PF fuse ??? there should be little or none.
Other than that you will have to suspect bad inverter transformer, or bad CCFLs tube, or a possible dried out cap on inverter side, here is a good Link to a dell Monitor that uses a Benq board like yours that gives a very good process of elimination to your problem that you can use to your advantage

should do it for you, hope so, good luck

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

I have a problem.
Ifound 2 c5707 blown up, the fuse and the two mosfets were ok.
So I replaced them, resolder the board, and now it comes-up for 2 seconds then turns of for 2 seconds and comes again for 2 sec, and finaly the lite goes off for good.
The led stays green.
Any ideea?

Hello Jtan
On the second link in my post you will find this page

https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...58&postcount=3

If this is your board, you will see a black cylindrical fuse marked BEL T2A, on the top, with the board No F601 next to the power connector No CN601,

The other fuse looks similar to a resistor only its black also, and is found by the the right side of large transformer,just above the blue capacitor, it has Bel 4A on it, and board mark of PF703,

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

i'm trying to find where the fuse is located in the board....

hello jtan
you do not say whether to buy, or find on board,if buy this may help

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOT-OF-4-Bel-3...742.m153.l1262

seller also has 4A+5A fuses, good luck

also this thread would be better for you

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

My HP 1955 has blinking problem, I wonder where I can get information on how to locate the fuse... Thanks!

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

davmax,

Thanks for your hard work in figuring out what's wrong with these BenQ LCD monitors! I followed the discussion in this thread and...

I just successfuly repaired a BenQ T701 a few minutes ago!

The hardest part was getting the bezel apart .

Thanks again, everyone!

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

Hello afo
Im sorry but your post I quote,

(not sure if anyone is even reading this, but i have now replaced the 6 components (3x 5707's, 2x9024's and 3A fuse) and re-soldered the transformer legs.)

says ONE transformer to me and does not mention the TWO inverter transformers, so there was misunderstanding, sorry about that

UL-94V-0 is a tag that says the PCB substance met the inflammability that it snuffs out by itself when heat source is removed. Same for the components as well.

This is major reasons this prevented so much fires when a part or circuit board burns out.

I have seen results of burn craters (as in complete burnt through) in the circuit boards when this happens.

Cheers, Wizard

The aboye 2 links may help

The resoldering of inverter transformers seem to be your issue, it may take out a 2sc5070 again, also check whole board for cracks in solder joints some are hairline, use about 8 x magnification,I spend a good half hour or more looking, you will find some.
Good luck bob

thanks for your reply Bob, however if you look here:
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...&postcount=165

...you'll see that I did re-solder the joints but the problem has arisen again - hoping someone can comment on further possible causes.

thanks

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

hello all,

i received a call today from the friend whose monitor i fixed a little over a week ago - he gave me the news that after a couple of days usage it has stopped working again with the same problem!! i have said i would look at it again but i don't see much point in replacing the parts again if it's gonna blow again (!)...so i'm hoping for some more help from the experts...

is it likely that i need to put in the extended 'protection' mentioned in this thread, or does only a few days of usage imply other problems?! as previously mentioned, there were no bulging caps on the board at the time i did the first repair.

look forward to hearing back, Afo.

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

Thanks Bob,

I am still intersted in the skematic so that I can learn more using this board as a teaching aid. I will get the kit after I test to see if what we fould was the problem.

Thanks again

Hello vinbar1
Much better to go with kit, heres a link,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2SC5707-C5707-...3286.m63.l1177

there are many on ebay just search (2sc5707)
all the info you require to fix monitor is in this thread have a good read, pay paticular attention to bad solder joints on board especially the inverter transformers, Good Luck.

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

Hi everyone i am very new to this and My father-in-law is an electical enginare. He is teaching me some things. I was hoping someone had a skematic for this board so he can go more in depth with fixing this moniter. I have look everyplace I could on my own and came up short. Any help would be great.

When I first got the moniter it would power on but no back light. I could only see an image if it was plugged in to computer and at the right angle.

We so far have found that the bel 3a fuse is bad and 1 of the c5707s are bad.

Just to see what would happen we pulled the bad trannie and used a jumper for the fuse .

We were only able to get the Benq splash for about 2 sec and then it would go into standby. This is differant then what first was happening, as before the moniter would stay on just no back light and I never saw the benq logo. The only way to see anything was to have it plugged into the computer.

We are going to replace the trannie with a TIP3055 thats what i could find localy and I think we will just for now replace the bel fuse with a slow burn glass fuse and holder to see if that will realy solve the problem.

This is realy fun let me know what you think about what we are attempting and I will let everyone the results.

Thanks for this thread its awsome.

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

davmax, just want to say a big thanks for your input. I have a faulty 17" FP737s (QT73) monitor. I have a bit of experience and can fix most monitors myself, but this one had me stumped. I had replaced the transistors (Q739, Q740, Q759 and Q760) but still not working. Replaced IC751 and a few other sus parts, including most of the caps, but still not working. I was just about to give up and chuck this monitor when I thought I would have a search on the net.

I found the site, read your posts about the problem causing transistors and then read about the FUSE (PF751 on my board). Because it looks like any other capacitor on the board I completely overlooked it. I will have to get a fuse next week, but Im sure that Im going to have this LCD working again (thanks to yourself).

Just want to say thanks again. Your work is really impressive and I hope that one day Im as good a tech as yourself.

All the best to you and your family, you made my day!

Re: Fix for Benq FP737s 17" (Q7T3)

not sure if anyone is even reading this, but i have now replaced the 6 components (3x 5707's, 2x9024's and 3A fuse) and re-soldered the transformer legs. I am happy to report the monitor is working fine...it's going back to it's former-owner rather than my plans for a designer piece lol...i have something else in mind now requiring a smaller lcd

thanks to the contributors of this thread who pointed me in the right direction from their work.

Yes well done afo. Just read thread today. Your original meter reading description indicated transistor failure. Glad you fixed it so quickly with parts kit.

Extending the ribbon cable is not a great idea as you no doubt concluded.
