    New caps, but still no power (Dell 3007wfp)

    Hi all

    I seem to have a bit of a stubborn monitor that doesn't want to fix. I'd love some help if anyone can provide it.

    I'll start with the symptoms - plug in but no power LED or anything.
    Opened up, caps looked fine but I thought I'd replace them anyway. I didn't bother with the big'un or the four little'uns near the centre of the power board (see video / should I have?)
    Video:

    Basically, after doing so, nothing has changed. I still get a noise when I plug the mains in (you can hear it in the video) and still no power LED or picture.

    Can anyone advise on my next step? I'm no pro at all with this, so you may need to speak slowly
    I've also 'checked' the fuse by just passing through it with a wire, but as there's that noise while the mains is plugged in, I guess the fuse is fine?

    Thanks in advance!

    small capacitors are the most important,
    they start the supply and smooth the feedback to keep the output stable.

    those are the first things i would have changed.

      Ha, well there you go. Thanks, I'll do that when I get home from work and report back...

        What DCV do you have on that big main filter cap (measure between the two legs of the cap)? >360VDC? The power supply board has PFC Voltage booster.
        Also, is there something leaking from the legs of the main filter cap?

          I didn't ever see any leaks from anywhere on the board. Will have a double check there when I get back tonight though.
          I currently don't have any measuring devices to check the main cap. I think it's time to invest! Can I get away with getting any old cheap meter or is there something specific I should look out for/get?

          Cheers the for replies so far,

            Right, so I replaced the 4 small caps and now when I power on (not plugged into PC yet) the screen flashes red, blue, green, white... I think this is normal for when DVI isn't in. So I'm guessing that it's now fixed Thanks for the help, stj!

            Budm, I checked the DCV on the filter cap. It fluctuated a little at the start of the reading, then levelled out at 374V. Is this ok?

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                by PantherDave
                Hi all!

                I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                by eryjus
                Hello,

                First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                ...

                Dell Optiplex 7490 AIO - red power led after flash
                by Mark01
                Hi guys,

                This is my first post! 🚀
                I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m learning by trial and error.

                I’m currently working on a Dell Optiplex AIO 7490—one of a bunch of AIOs that mysteriously failed to POST just a few days after the warranty expired. The original issue was that the PC worked fine until it was rebooted, after which it got stuck on a black screen (no backlight), with fans spinning at normal speed and a solid white power LED. Forcing it off by holding the power button would just cause it to switch on automatically and get stuck again on...

                When I received this , it would only flicker on the KB backlight for a second, then off and on.
                Then it started getting weirder!
                Sometimes when attaching the AC power supply, and pressing various pre-boot diagnostic keyboard keys... it did try to boot, in fact out of a hundred attempts, the laptop did actually boot into the Bios ! but never has...
