    Sharp PN-E521 Black Screen

    Hello everyone,

    A dear friend of mine wanted me to check this massive monitor. Not even a TV it is the type you see on the airports and what not.
    An information display to be exact.
    Anyway Monitor turns on we can see the backlight in the back but screen remains black. Completely unresponsive only turns on and off. I also was able to see a faint discrepancy in blackness on the left side of the monitor. A lighter section from top to bottom and about 3 inches wide starting on the corner. (PICTURED)

    Well I opened it right up and was quite impressed by the quality. Also never before have I removed this many screws on a screen this size.
    Unfortunately I see no visible damage and no bulging caps.
    I did went ahead and disconnected the T-con and turned it right back on.
    With the T-con disconnected the screen turns on just fine but this time it is solid black no lighter section as described above.

    Conclusion;
    I am betting on a busted T-con board. Truly hope it isn't display failure.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Try having one ribbon cable between the T-CON and the LCD panel connected one at a time to see what you get on the screen. The SMD fuse on T-CON is good and getting 12VDC at both ends of the fuse with ref to the chassis GND?

      Hello there and thanks for your fast response.
      I tested the TV with the ribbons disconnected the closest one gave me the same line on the right the farther one gave me a full black screen. Exactly similar to what happens when the T-con is fully disconnected.
      I am also currently unable to test the SMD fuse I currently dont have a multi-meter.
      I have a close idea as to which one it is though.
      Is there a specific multi-meter you recommend?
      Good day!

        I have no recommendation for the meter, usually the one for electronics repair in the $30~50 range will be good enough for checking Voltages.

          Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
          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...

          Sharp LC-40UG7252K black screen
          by Wodger
          Good day all,

          As title says, black screen. Replaced hot side and largest cold side capacitors on power board as were reading erratic and TV was dead (no power light).

          Following replacement, power led now illuminates, changes from red to blue on pressing TV joystick, still black screen. Connection board appears powered (optical sound led on). Slight crackling from speakers.

          Checking led driver voltage reveals voltage falls off after power on from pressing joystick (drops to zero).

          Attached picture of power board.

          Next check steps...

          Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH - black screen
          by DaniK
          Hi everyone,
          I have this strange behaviour with Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH, i5 6200U, intel graphics, DA0ZRWMB6G0 Rev G, model ZRW.
          Laptop came in for a SSD upgrade, took everything apart to install the SSD.
          Everything started after modifying BIOS settings to boot UEFI instead of Legacy.
          Laptop works fine, i installed windows 10 and drivers/updates, everything works ok(when it works)
          The black screen problem is random, maybe 5 out 10 times, laptop remains with the black screen, no image

          Symptoms are:
          - random black screen after displaying Acer logo...

          AOC U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
          by turmix
          Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.

          The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
          At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine

          During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and...

          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...
