Re: Dead Power Supply(XAD819AR) for Acer AL1706
I've fixed about 15 of these Acer monitors. They are the easiest monitors that I have come across to fix.
But, I had a few of them that gave me some grief, and it turned out to be burnt out backlights. Keep that in mind. The backlights are relatively easy to replace in these panels, you just have to be sure not to jolt the actual LCD too hard and rip one of the ribbons from the panel logic board. <-speaking from experience. I currently have a 17 inch panel that no longer works because I ripped one of the ribbons. But I use the backlights from this panel for testing.
Another good thing about that specific Acer line is that all of the different sizes use nearly identical PSU boards. So, I have been able to swap the PSU from a 1706 or 1716 and put it into a 1916W and a 2016 for quick repairs. Easy easy easy boards to work with. These monitors have made me quite a bit of money.
