Re: Viewsonic VP211b
Well, i was able to solder the caps on the board but I could not fully remove the "power supply board". I had to turn it upside down as far as i could and solder this way.

Re: Viewsonic VP211b
Plain-Bill,
How did you disassemble this monitor. I need to remove / replace a few capacitors on the power supply board but i cant seem to get it out of the "steel frame".
Any thoughts?Leave a comment:

Re: Viewsonic VP211b
Originally posted by PlainBillThis is the first LCD panel I disassembled, so I don't know how others do it. Samsung makes this panel. It uses 6 CCFLs, three at the top, three at the bottom. The CCFLs are arranged side by side inside a C shaped 'cartridge'. This is a piece of light steel that has been painted white for reflectivity. They are held in place by running the leads through silicon rubber fittings at each end of the cartridge, and several spacers along the length of the tubes. The leads from the 'hot' end of the tubes goes directly to the inverter. The leads from the 'cold' end of the tubes run along the back of the cartridge, then are bundled with the hot leads inside heat shrinkable tubing, where they connect to the inverter. By removing 4 screws on the front of the frame, carefully loosening the latches holding the plastic and metal frames together, then removing a very tiny screw which anchors the cartridge to the metal frame, it is possible to remove the cartridge as an assembly.
When I pulled the bottom cartridge from my monitor I discovered that the end of the cartridge was discolored under two of the tubes. On the back side of the cartridge the silicon wires were obviously overheated, and there was a 1/4" length of uninsulated wires that could contact the metal. When I replaced it with a cartridge from a monitor that had a few nicks in the covering the dark lines were greatly reduced. It's not perfect, but it works very good for a $12 monitor.
No, I am NOT going to take the monitor apart again so I can take pictures.

Can you help me out please, I seem to be missing something here I have been into a number of b/light units to replace CCFLs or removing rainwater in some cases, I can understand the panel being the cause but not the units assembly
what exactly was the fault in there ???
Can you enlighten me please
Many thanks for a reply

Re: Viewsonic VP211b
No need for pictures, etc. I figured it out nearly a month ago. I'm using the monitor right now.

Originally posted by PlainBillThe panel seems to be built on a stainless steel frame. Everything seems to be held in place with a white plastic back frame with four 'catches' on each side.

then use flat screwdriver to unlatch catches
then turn over lcd and carefuly remove metal frame
lcd panel is probably sealed together with plastic frame, you can carefuly try on edges with flat screwdriver to pull, try to avoid touch panel with fingers inside but you must remove lcd from plastic frame
then you have only backlight assembly (diffuser thin plates and one thick), i have reassembled many but always was dust reamined inside them
i had only problems with bad ccfls
sorry for bad english, if i can help with some photos i can help tomorow at job...Last edited by mladen82; 05-07-2009, 12:07 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Viewsonic VP211b
be careful on flex cables. they are very sensitive since they carry the TAB. Carelessness will bring your LCD screen unuseable anymoreLeave a comment:

Viewsonic VP211b
I picked up this oldie as a Freecycle freebie. Replacing an open fuse in the inverter fixed most of the problems, so I put it to work on my desk. Gradually I became aware that the display was not working properly. Specifically, on a dark green background two broad (about 1") lines ran 2/3rd of the way across the screen. It was not noticeable on a white background, but was barely visible on a blue background. The first cause that came to mind was the CCFL backlights (something had to blow that fuse, right?)
Opening up the case and isolating the LCD panel itself was easy, but now I'm into unfamiliar territory. The panel seems to be built on a stainless steel frame. Everything seems to be held in place with a white plastic back frame with four 'catches' on each side. These latch into slots in the front frame. There are four screws of unknown purpose on the front of the metal frame. Of course, there is also the cover over the electronics section of the display.
So how do I disassemble this without breaking something?
Thanks,

This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....-

by KemerHello, I removed the graphics card from my laptop and I want to heat it in the oven. What I want to ask is, is it okay to heat the card without removing the metal mounting frame on it?
As you can see in the photo, there is a plastic (black) gasket between the metal frame and the card. It sticks the frame tightly to the card.
I previously removed the metal frame while heating it, but it is quite difficult to separate it from the surface it is attached to. If there is no problem, I do not want to remove it.
What worries me right now is the possibility that... -
by mecha1166Some new tvs have an LCD screen attached to the outside of the frame with foam tape. These are "edge to edge" as they are called. I am trying to figure out how to reattach an LCD panel back up to the frame. The manufacturer used 3/16 inch foam tape along the top and rh/lh edges. I used a razor blade to separate the panel from the metal frame. The metal frame that the panel is taped to is 1/4 inch wide along the 2 sides and top. I completely removed the residue from the metal frame. There is some residue on the panel itself along the 3 edges, I removed almost all of it using alcohol and...

Design of CCFL Backlight Inverters with Frame & Bar Cores
Summary
Portable devices, such as notebook computers and personal digital assistants are developed rapidly nowadays, which places an increasing demand on display technology. The LCD with cold cathode fluorescent back lighting satisfies the requirements on display performance, size and efficiency.
The backlight inverter plays a crucial role in supplying the power to the lamps of these flat-panel displays.
The frame and bar ferrite cores, described in this brochure, are especially designed...-

Hello everyone,
I got a Samsung The Frame 55 inch TV for free from uncle cause it is not turning on anymore. I am in the second year of training as an electrician so I have knowledge already but I am far away from to be a pro.
The TV has Standby but ist not turning on. A Friend of mine owns a 50 inch Frame TV so I checked the One Connect Box and the One Connect Cable there. Both are good and working normally. I have opened the TV case and measured some voltages on the Board.
What I already found is that the 12.8V are not an the connector to the main board connector to the power... - Loading...
