    A suggestion

    I believe this section could use a thread for us new people in which would be some general info.
    Most people land here in search for help repairing their LCD, and many have little or no experience, which leads to you guys having answer to similar Qs all the time.

    I say, make thread similar to this:

    If you are new in LCD repair field, but want to tackle job by yourself, bear in mind:
    -You HAVE TO HAVE at least multimeter (any working) and a basic soldering equipment;
    -You will most likely have to do measuring on plugged in (live) device, so YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHAT ARE YOU TOUCHING, both plugged in or out (capacitors hold electricity, that's their job);
    -Take care of where you lay down your boards. Always on insulators, otherwise you may shorten something out and do more damage;

    (...any other general guidelines you guys suggest.)
    When above is acknowledged, go ahead and ask your question.

    Then, you'd be able to just make a link to this thread, instead of having to explain it to each person individually.
    Finally, add a link to Bud Martin's "Basic LCD monitor troubleshooting guide"
    and any useful docs you may think of.

    (I may try and make this if you guys think it's useful.
    However, I'd prefer if someone with more xp does it.)

    If you think it's not needed, delete this thread and voila
    stay classy

    Re: A suggestion

    This sort of thing has been going on here all along. A new person is still going to have to do a search no matter how easy it is made for them. Most don't, they just ask first without trying to find things on their own. It's ok, it's just the way this sort of thing works and a new person to electronics isn't going to even know what to search for to begin with. That is one big reason this forum exists at all, to help people with electronics.

      HP 15-dy0013dx doesn't Power On, Power LED Bilinking, needs help for trouble shooting

      Hello Every Genuis


      I have a laptop from my friend, model is "HP 15-dy0013dx" , Logic Board model is DA00P5MB6D0 REV MODEL: 0P5

      this Laptop come with a BIOS Warning issue, the Keyboard CAPS LED Blinking 3 times slow, 2 times fast , don't remember exactly, someting like this, has a Meaning , also Fan will run

      but I googled, people says this Meaning EC have a issue to read BIOS, so I use CHA314A programmer to read and write (wrote the same content file read from BIOS), after I flashed the BIOS, the CAPS LED doesn't blink anymore

      Alienware m15 r3 LA-J521P - no power
      by BalkanBoy
      Hi guys,

      I got this laptop with no power issue. What happens is when you plug it in, 20V stays on DC jack, but B+ gets power only for very short period of time and starts dropping. What I found out is if you isolate +5VALW by desoldering output jumpers voltage doesn't drop anymore, it stays around 12.5V on B+. Resistance on +5VALW coil was high, few hundreds of kiloohms on both sides of coil.

      I found short on PQB7, PQB8 and PQB10 between G1/S1 which was actually short on battery charger PUB1, and one of the double mosfets was shorted too so I replaced both of them....

      Problem

      This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

      Need LAN connection over several hundred meters - how to do this?

      Hi guys
      Here is a project I have been working on. I am supplying a company who have a license from the government to re-open the open air markets which have been closed due to COVID-19

      They have to fulfill certain restrictions to open the markets, we are currently three weeks into an eight week trial.

      The main requirements are:

      1. The temperature of every person visiting the market is taken.
      2. There is a capacity limit of how many people can be in the market at a given time, and it must be observed.
      3. Everyone must wear a mask (Actually...

      Hi there all, 1st post here. I wasn't aware there were guys out there doing this for people! (how, well I haven't a clue lol but 😎👍 badass!), So when I found y'all, I was happy, but not too happy quite yet - although my issue seems to be less severe than many I've seen here who have been happily helped, so there's that.

      I'm a software dev of over 20 years and just recently have gotten into the hardware side of things plus other electronics like Rpi and Arduino. Started off a vid game hacker yada yada, same story. Lol.

      Now, the BIG OL' issue ruining me little life:...
