    E228WFPc - purple tint

    I just got Dell 22" monitor and it has strange purple tint - when I hit factory reset, it shows correct colors for second and then back to purple tinted image. Its not too bad, but normal colors are much better. It mostly visible on black screen, when PC starts up, etc. I thought it could bad/aging bulb, but why it shows correct colors right after reset? Powering on/off not gives that effect, only reset procedure.
    Caps and all looks good.
    Second pic was taken during reset procedure

      Re: E228WFPc - purple tint

      Hi, from my experience with the laptops purple tint usually is a symptom of dying bulb, in most cases I've seen after like 1min it goes back to normal, factory reset might trigger higher voltages on the inverter, max brightness for example.

          have you opened it yet?
          those dell's have a lot of problems with bad caps on the psu/invertor board.

              When I turn it on with panel (T-Con?) unplugged, screen is bright white, more on gray/bluish side, no purple/pink tint at all.
              I did opened it and all caps looks good.

                  Sony OLED XR-77A80J - 5 Flashes But Turn On After Hard Reset
                  by odie34
                  I am a hobbyist (not a professional) so please be gentle...

                  I recently received an XR-77A80J that wouldn't turn on. (Repeating 5 flashes when plugged in.)

                  I did a hard reset by holding the power button for about 30 seconds until the set powered down. I then tried to turn it on and it powered up, bringing me to the setup screen. There's not a lot of detail on the setup screen but the picture didn't have any distortions, so at least a cursory examination suggests no physical damage to the screen. The set appeared to be working normally, but it shut down after about 15 seconds,...

                  Philips MDP 3380/12 Blu-ray Player – No Power, Reset Signal Always High
                  by ictc
                  I'm troubleshooting a Philips MDP 3380/12 Blu-ray player that shows no signs of life. The display remains off, and no buttons respond.

                  Inside, the power supply is working correctly, and all expected voltages on the mainboard match the service manual specifications. The CPU warms up slightly (checked with a thermal camera), the crystal oscillator is functioning, but the reset signal remains high at all times.

                  The reset circuit appears to consist of two NPN transistors, one driven by 5V VCC and the other by 3.3V STBY, as shown in the attached schematic. Should the reset...

                  ASUS M5A78L-M LX - PWR button works sometimes, CPU stuck in reset
                  by kotel studios
                  Hi,
                  Firstly I'd like to apologize if this was posted in the wrong forum (I'm new here )
                  Recently I got an ASUS M5A78L-M LX board in a scrap lot. Saw one broken cap which I've replaced. No broken traces and missing components. While soldering a new cap a bit of solder got onto components bellow SB (opposite of the two lythic caps). Didn't see it and powered the board on.
                  I was greeted with it not starting. Came back to it a day later and shorted the PS_ON with GND to force it on. It sprung to life but with CPU stuck in reset (it was an FX 4600 I believe). Thats when I saw the...

                  Asrock H87-Pro4 Rev. G/A 1.04: Power cycling on reset only
                  by MyBrainIsAStrainer
                  Hi!

                  I have a weird one for you. I have a H87-Pro4 from Asrock that power cycles. But only when you do a restart after it was already running!

                  Symptoms in detail:
                  1. I switch off the ATX PSU for ~15-20 seconds, then switch it back on again.
                  2. I press power button. The board boots without issues.
                  3. I can shut down the board any way I want (via OS* menu, or pushing the power button - either in the OS or the boot manager).
                  4. Push power button again, board boots fine.
                  5. This shutdown/powerup can be repeated multiple times without problems.
                  6. BUT: If I do a restart instead
                  ...
