    Hp lw1965

    This display has the similar problem like another post on this forum for the same model of display-- backlight on, but LCD black. Following through that post lead me to take out the LCD panel and check it. Only it seems that HP changed LCD panel providers or Samsung the maker of the panel changed the driver circuit, because what I have with the Samsung LTM190EP01 panel is a different set of components. But anyway, I found that the one fuse on the driver board (F1) is blown. I didn't find any shorted capacitors, and between the terminals of the two voltage regulators (LD33 and LD18) there is some resistance ~2k on one, 500 on another.
    I guess the best thing is to desolder them and test?

    I noticed some marks inside identifying which wires go where, so I'm not the first person to have opened up the display it seems, and as I just purchased it for 10€ ("display is dim" the seller said), I don't want to put too much time in, but if there's an easy fix, that would be cool.

    I couldn't get the two regulators unsoldered, so I just applied 5V to the input of the first, and got 3.3V out on it, 1.8V out on the next. So regulators don't seem to be bad.
    Is it ever possible that just "sh*t happens" and replacing the blown fuse things will work again?

      I got impatient, and just shorted out the fuse. so far its working . :-)
      If it fails, then at least it has a nice adjustable stand with a VESA mount. I guess I'll order some fuses off ebay though if it continues working the rest of the day.

        The picture you posted is of the T-con board (the board that is attached to the LCD TFT.) Just stating this for clarity.

        Rarely, but YES.

        Most blown T-con fuses are usually a result of shorted ceramic capacitors on the main and secondary boosted voltage rails. That said, I've seen two cases of blown fuses with no problem (both of them were from badcaps.net members).

        Nice.

        For the future suggestion, though - do NOT short fuses directly - ever! This can cause more damage (and sometimes make the device unrepairable). Not to mention that doing this on a mains/high-power fuse, that can be a fire hazard.

        If you don't have the right type of fuse, it's OKAY to use a lower-rated fuse. In this particular case with your T-con, you could have soldered some wires to a regular standard 5x20 mm fuse and soldered the other ends of the wires to the T-con board. I do that all the time when I don't have the right type of SMD fuse.

        Anyways, congrats on the repair!
        And yes, definitely get the correct replacement fuse.

          Thanks!

          That's a good idea with the larger fuse. I don't have any SMD fuses. I just placed the order on ebay for 20 for $2 from China. The electronics distributor here wants 0,60€ plus there would be shipping at least 4€ and I don't have anything else I particularly need right now.

          For now anyway the monitor isn't going to be used. I had gotten it when the L2045w display started doing the 2-seconds off deal, hoping that the seller was honest about the display working but being dim (my wife picked it up in the city and there was no chance to test it). The L2045w is the second display on my PC. I'd like to have three, but I was having issues using the internal videocard with the dual output video card, so for now this 1965 has no use.

          Here's a question-- on the L2045w power supply there were a bunch of places marked CPx (where x is an integer) with a diamond shape around it. One of these was shorted with a blob of solder that had a lot of flux around it-- and honestly, it was another act of desperation that after checking for obvious badcaps and failed transistors, I just removed the solder blob, as the flux around it made me feel like it wasn't original, and the display works again. Maybe it was just some other luck-- that display is also used, and at first it was randomly turning off after hours of use, then more frequently, then I set brightness to the lowest setting and for a few more months it was fine, then the 2-seconds and off routine.

          Anyway, right now, I've got a second display and a backup, which is good, because I've got a lot of work on the computer for the winter months after spending all of the fall doing home improvement / reconstruction work.

            the L2045w power supply PCB with one of these CPx marks circled in red.
            Check point? Control point?

              Hmmm. I have seen those marks before, but never paid much attention to them.

              It is possible that the solder blob was done at the factory to correct for some issue or "fine tune" something. But it's also possible that someone played with the monitor when they didn't know what they were doing.

              You'd have to track what that CPx point goes to and try to figure out why it was bridged. The one you show in your picture appear to be close to what seems like the CCFL inverter controller. It could be that this point disables any protections when it's bridged. Or it could be something else. Best way is to find the datasheet for the controller and look inside its Application schematic, then compare to the circuit in your monitor, then try to figure out what those points do. It's a bit involved, but that's the best you can do without a full circuit schematic of the monitor (and often, you won't find one).

                Well, the fix on the 2045 worked for a week. Now this morning after the outside temperature plunged to -7C and I hadn't been in my office a few days, so its cold too, its again doing the two seconds on, then off. I guess ambient temperature would affect marginal capacitors?
                I ordered an ESR meter off eBay a week or two ago, so I guess I can go through those when it gets here.

                  Hmm... and now the 2045 is working again, after I heated up the office. I guess I don't like working in the cold, so neither does the backlight ;-)

                  The LW1965-- I'm playing it safe and waiting for the fuses to come. I bet by next week it will be here.

                    Time to have a look at the caps on the power supply too, then. Those could be the reason for the monitor not wanting to start in the cold.

                      by osrex
                      Hello, this is my first post and im just a beginner, so be easy on me guy. thanks



                      i have a LED chandeilier that switches colors from white to cool white to warm when toggling the switch, it has 24 LED arms, each arm is 30 CM length.



                      i have no datasheet at all for the LED lights, all i have is its length.



                      long story short, testing the chandelier on the ground, and it works fine for 1 - 2 - 6 hours, no problem.



                      as soon as i fix the chandelier to the ceiling and bury the driver inside the hub,...

                      LG 49UJ6500 LCD panel lighter band that goes away
                      by howardc64
                      49UJ6500 LCD panel has a lighter band on top when first powered on. Goes away (or gets much fainter) after TV on for a few min. After powered off for awhile and power back on, same band appears. If powered on immediately after powering off, no or much fainter band. Running the latest firmware.

                      Disassembled the TV and lifted the LCD panel during testing. Band is on the LCD panel (can see the band on the panel as I lift it slightly) Backlight is perfectly even at the top edge. Double checked LCD panel alignment in the frame and is perfect but since band moved with the panel, its on...

                      SAMSUNG UN50TU8000F rebooting, backlight ok. No 12v to panel boards.
                      by triplefour
                      TV flashes backlight then reboots over and over. no image. Client said it used to have image for a bit before rebooting. Got worse over time.

                      tcon is built into mainboard.
                      Only one cable goes to panel boards.
                      there is a cable from one panel board to the other that links them.
                      cost cutting measure that results in us having harder time to diagnose.
                      removing the link to the second panel board allows TV to stay on with stable backlight but no image.
                      used cut off tape method to mask 1 maybe 2 pins on the side of the cable that goes to that second panel board....

                      QN55Q60R Service Menu Panel Help
                      by Storyteller12
                      I had a the above tv qn55q60r that had a bad panel but everything else good. I had another panel here from un55nu6900 with bad leds and melted diffusers.

                      I put the nu6900 panel in and powered it up and it does work but there are lines vertical lines.

                      I was trying to change the panel type in the service menu but don’t see my exact panel. Anyway to fix this or someone have similar experience.

                      the clear picture is the panel type from the service menus on the nu6900. The other 1 is the panel type that was set for the q60r with the bad panel....

                      Missing LCD Panel Voltages VGH, VGL, VCOM (TCL 55P6US Sound & Backlight but NO Picture)
                      by maneatingmonkey
                      I have a TCL 55P6US with sound and backlight but no picture. This model does not have a T-CON board, and the right (rear perspective) panel board is fed from the left panel board. I have not been able to induce any change by disconnecting the secondary panel board or the tape cut-off method on the primary board.

                      There are a bunch of voltages missing on the panel boards. I can't find any shorted caps of the panel boards, and all of the missing voltage rails read in the kiloohms, which leads me to suspect the issue may lie on the circuit board, rather than a short in the panel.
