    Dell 3008wfp - messed up grey screen, only backlight

    Good Day All,

    This is where I'm at...



    My much loved Dell 3008wfp turned on me and went funny as you can see above.

    1) We replaced the usual diodes, no difference
    2) replaced the whole power board, no difference
    3) checked all internal connections and resoldered one point (circled in pic)

    kinda at a loss here - any suggestions are greatly appreciated

    Problem could be on the main board, the t-con board, or the LCD panel itself (bad tab-bonds).

    First check all regulator output voltage on the main board. That would be anything with a "1117" and "1084" written on it. I see quite a few.

    Post some pictures of the t-con board as well (this is the board that is *usually* attached to the LCD panel on the top side).

    Which diodes would that be? And which board?

    Again, which board and which picture would that be on?

      Good Day and Much thanks for the feedback.

      We replaced the D22 diode as per
      http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sho...php?t=18460501

      That did not work, so we replaced the full Power Supply board from one off ebay (China, remanufactured, from a respected buyer)

      If you check the dropbox link (bigger pix)
      https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4zylqksun...H_G1BMz6a?dl=0

      The Last picture (IMGL5911) shows the one solder point we redid

      Again huge huge thanks for the reply - I liked the monitor a lot and would rather try a couple hours of repairs before giving in.

      When it went, it was all of a sudden. There were no glitches leading up to the failure.

        Looks to me like the Lcd panel has failed IMO seen plenty of Tv's with symptoms issues and the Lcd drivers had failed.

          by HTR-Informatique
          Hello,

          YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

          I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

          On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

          I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

          I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

          I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

          by jake-b
          good morning all,

          i purchased a used dell e6540 laptop used 10 months ago from a vendor on ebay. intel i-7 processor, 16 gb ddr3 memory, 256 gb ssd., mobo la-9413p (rev 1.0 dated 2014-08-04). i've inflicted no damage on it since purchase but its past is unknown. starting 2 weeks ago it began to fail to boot (initially 9 of 10 boot attempts failed, now 10 of 10 fail). there was no new hardware or software added (i was using as a kodi video server). the post process doesn't complete and booting no longer displays the dell logo screen - screen remains black with no backlight. some other...

          Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
          by Ryan.man
          Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

          My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

          This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...
