    Dell 1702FP LCD Fix from FixYa

    Hi,
    We had a Dell 17" LCD with flashing power button, and alternately flashing setting lights. Opened it to find no obvious bad caps but lots of surface mount
    capacitors. I went on FixYa just on the off chance. One answer offered was the "take it to a shop", but another GREAT individual offered the solution and EXACTLY which surface mounts to replace.

    "Replace two 10uf capacitors on control board C604 and C507."

    My son says he also has a video on his home page showing the work. It is linked to one of his solutions on his profile page.

    Any way my son got the soldering iron and inside 20 minutes had replaced the two caps and was using the lcd.

    So hats off to "hdaghigh" on FixYa.

          Wow, usually FixYa is a bunch of illiterate morons telling you to buy a new one. Good to hear.

              I'm not real impressed with FixYa either.
              Pops up in every damned google search and RARELY has anything that's even pertinent to my search let alone actually useful.

              DixiePenguin, no disrespect intended. I'm speaking about FixYa in general.

                  PCBONEZ, I know what you mean. But if this is a tested solution, this will be one good among all the crap that normally is answered there.

                          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...

                          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...

                          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...

                          this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.

                          When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.
