Hi all, I've recently got a hold of a broken Dell U2713Hb monitor and am trying to diagnose the issue and fix it. Unfortunately it's just outside of it's warranty.
The symptoms are that when the power button is pressed, the power light comes on, but there is no display (no display and no backlight). When the other touch buttons are pressed, they all light up and stay lit up until the monitor is powered off.
I have been told by the previous owner that the USB ports on the side were used to charge a mobile phone daily. I checked out the USB board and it does look to have some damaged capacitors, however the monitor still behaves the same with this board disconnected.
P.S. I'm quite new to this, so apologies if the photos aren't good enough. I can take some more though if it helps.
The boards also come mounted upside down inside some sort of metal cage - what is the best way to power these on to probe them. I was thinking of connecting all ground screws back to the first power boards ground connection - would that do the job?
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can give.
Thanks
Jayden
