    Dell E171FP - dark 1/3 inch black/dark spot on top

    I've got a 17 inch Dell E171FP LCD monitor with dark spot across the top of the screen. It's also visible when the monitor is unplugged and powered off. I'm guessing it's a problem with the LCD? Is it fixable or need to be replaced? I have two of these LCD monitors that I'm not using anymore. I just thought maybe if I can fix it before selling.

    Please attach picture.

      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
      by Bowline
      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

      Dell Pro 13 Plus PB13250 Bios Unlock
      by Akhlz001
      Hi,

      Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate...

      by master3112
      I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

      Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.

      The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...

      Dell 34 inch U3419W Monitor with thin stripes on partial screen
      by ChristianBr01
      Hello everyone,
      I have a Dell U3419W Monitor that has some thin stripes on a part of the screen since Tuesday.
      This lines cover about a third of the screen and appear for 2 seconds before disappear for another 2 seconds.
      This repeats the whole time. I have not opened the case yet cause I had no time, but will try to fix it on this weekend. For me, it looks like a problem on the TCon... Am I right?
      Does someone have seen this before?...
