Viewsonic LCD monitor bad. Need help identifying bad part.

[dss]

I have a Viewsonic monitor VX2739wm that is getting a picture but going to a blank black screen after a second.

I opened it up and all the capacitors look fine but a part labeled T2 looks like it is burnt out.

See images of the bad part.

There are some additional pictures of the board and manufacturer, model number etc but it seems like no one has the board in stock.

Would anyone know how I can get a replacement for the T2 part that looks like it has burnt out?

Thanks in advance! Sincerely, David

That is the Inverter transformer with burnt out high voltage winding.

It can burn out if you have bad lamps, you should also check the components that drive the transformer to make sure they are not damaged.

Budm,

Thank you for your quick response.

I am really a serious newbie. When you say "you should also check the components that drive the transformer to make sure they are not damaged."

Are you saying that I should visually inspect them or something more involved than that?

Thanks again for your help with all of this!!!

Sincerely,

David

Re: Viewsonic LCD monitor bad. Need help identifying bad part.

You will have to test the SMD components on the bottom side of the board, especially the MOSFETs that drive the transformers to see if they are shorted out or not. If they are bad then you will need the tools to do surface mounted repairs.
Checking the lamps will be a lot more difficult due to you have to take the LCD panel apart down the lamp assembly.
Transformers are not cheap so you can take a chance and spend $42 on the board and hope that the lamps are OK.

Budm,

I have been unable to find the transformer anywhere SP1 8TC00541. Is there an alternative transformer that I can use instead of this one?

Thanks,
