I was given the VA1912wb cause the green power light flashes off about every two secs. Screen is completely black. Checked with torch and see no image. Hooked to laptop and the os recognizes the monitor. Removed back cover and a 220uf,25v, 105c cap had the bottom blown out. Replaced all caps and checked solder joints on board. Soldered suspicious looking joints. When power applied the monitor exibits same problem as before. The fuse on the inverter board checks o.k. Any suggestions?

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
I'm guessing the pictures are from before you recapped the board since there are 3 caps definately bulging. The 4 chips near the transformers seem to have undergone a fair bit of thermal activity. One or more might be toast.Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
Thanks for the reply tiggerific. These pics are before the recap as you surmised. I started re-capping about a month ago. Someone gave me a 19" Gateway tft fpd1960 that the screen flashed with the Win logo and went off. The power light stayed green. Replaced caps & put a "touch" of solder around inductor joints. Works fine now. Also recapped an Acer S58m mobo. Works fine now. Anyway, can't do a lot with only a solder iron and a Dig MM.
Thanks for your reply....Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
I second to check those IC packages.
They are probably driver transistors in a DIP package.
Go to alldatasheet.com enter the part number on them and get the pinouts.
Using the diode checker of your DMM should reveal any open shorts in the transistors.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
I must be an idiot..I can't find the datasheet for the pin-outs. The chip has an A with a long right leg with a circle going around it from the short left leg. (Mfg?) Then it says P605 and underneath that BD6E1P. I do think these are transistors as you said KS. I think they control voltage to the transformers maybe. Anyway. Will keep searching.
Thanks for the input. I am steady learning new things about these inverters even if i don't get it repaired. That is invaluable.Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
Believe I found them - P605 => http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datashe...D/AOP605L.html
CE mode mosfets (1xN & 1xP) in each package so it's quite possible they have gone bad.Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
Thanks Tiggerific,
Had to take a break for awhile. Went fishing. Caught some nice bass & bream.
I had pulled up the P605 but didn't get to the right one. This datasheet looks just like the chips. Thanks again. BTW, i found some more bad joints with my magnifier. Wouldn't cut off with the switch before. Will now. I think progress is being made.
Thanks again....Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
checked the pin-outs on the chips and found no shorts. (IF i did the test correctly.) There is a fuse ,5a,250v, in front of the small cap near the chips., F200, but it checks o.k. On the board there is a notation to replace with correct fuse type and rating. (F101). Is this the type fuse are is there another fuse somewhere? Went over the board with magnifier and can't find another fuse...Looked for a pico fuse & found nothing. I know i am not getting power to the x-formers. Any more suggestions?Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
The other fuse is right behind the IEC line cord connector in that round package.
The first time I saw these fuses they were in crappy Delta (go figure) Xbox power supplies.
Most companies use glass or ceramic fuses with axial leads soldered to them.
But Delta seems to prefer these fuses.Last edited by Krankshaft; 05-28-2008, 09:24 AM.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment

Re: Viewsonic lcd VA1912wb
After extensive research and testing - two of the dip switches are toast...These are the AOP605 chips. Checked with Mouser. No comparable chip. Does anyone know where i can get these chips besides HK, China, or Taiwan? Maybe Fairfield? Will keep checking. Thanks for all of your input.Comment

by lostoneHello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.
First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...-

by jm1234Hi,
solder joints on heat sinks - how much do they matter? Could poor joints on heat sink cause issues if they are not properly joining to hot ground?
I'm looking at power source module of Panasonic plasma TV and I see many of these having visually poor quality, but could they matter? In general I would guess no, but I saw a video where someone was stressing out the importance of tightening the screws when fastening the power source board specifically for the ground to be connected properly.
Thanks -
by StefanNgHi, Badcaps.
I am troubleshooting a monitor
Viewsonic VX2718-PC-mhd.
Panel model SG2701BSG2701-8
Symptoms is no image.
This panel has 2 panel board connected by a U-ribbon.
When I disconnected the ribbon, I get a perfect half screen image.
I took some test point voltage, when ribbon disconnected.
HVAA 8.38v
FVDD12 1.21v
FDD33 3.3v
VIN 11.79v
VAA 16.85v
VGHF 30.16v
VGL -8.02v
CK1_I ~ CK8_I 1.403v
CK1_L ~ CK8_L 8.26v
When I connect both panel board
HVAA, VGHF, and CKx_L...3 Photos-

by soralzHi guys, I am having a problem with my Viewsonic VA1912wb monitor. It can turn on and got image (can see it thru using flashlight), but the inverter was out. At first I thought was capacitor problem. And I found out 4 of the capacitors are leaked and bulged. Then I replaced all at the outputs area but after trying again the same symptom still occurs. The only capacitors I didn't replace is the big one and the 2 small ones in the middle, rated at 22uF 50v and 47uF 50v respectively. If I change those 2 will it assure the inverter will work again? If this fails I don't plan to invest anymore on it....
