Re: ViewSonic VP201b
Hi Guys
I need some help please. I have a VP201 that has (mostly) stopped working.
The fault is as following. There is no output on the screen with any input mode aside from about 1 second post power on. In the one second the monitor is fine, the back light is even, colours are correct and the OSD works. And I clearly have a green power LED on the front.
Here is what I have done so far.
About one year ago the large cap in the switchmode was replaced as it was smelling and sounding dead.
Since the new fault has occured. I have retested the output of the PSU and it is okay both in and out of curcuit. I have fed 18V from an external power supply also. I think the PSU is okay.
I have tested the the fuses on the inverter board and they are both okay. I have also replaced the two electros on the the inverter board, one was 220uF and the other 200uF, both in spec.
Any ideas where to look next?
Many thanks
Steve
