I picked this monitor up from a local sears going out of business sale for $28 bucks. thought it was not a bad deal till i got home, seems other different monitors have some kind of same issue. i did hit up the Dell site for support ran the built in Diag and everything checked out. with out the DVI or vga plugged in the diag works and i dont loose the looking for connection. it seemed like it was going into what they were calling low power mode. not the standby mode which is where the power button would turn orange. In this case it stayed blue even when i lost picture and it stayed on for a while then would go orange.
Issue:
i would turn it on get a picture for 2secs then off, rinse and repeat then i would finally get a picture. This last time i did it the magic smoke got let out.
What i have done:
Took the monitor apart not knowing what i was doing. I got lucky and did not break any connectors or ribbons. I got the VGA/DVI-D connection board out, no signs for any burnt components. Next i got to the power supply board and looked it over found that C27 burnt out, on its last leg? I have looked up the printed name on another capacitor next to it since they look the same. i got a wide range of answers and one thread here that said it was a 3pF/3KV(which i understood) and possible brand label. I am still unsure of the vaule of C27 on the board since i can not seem to find a diagram for this board. i have looked at replacement boards and they run about what i paid, rather not spend another $20 to make it work.
Attaching pictures here works differently then im use too. Pictures include PCB showing C27 burnt out/PCB model/Rev, and the two different stickers on the panel it self. im sure all this info helps in some way.
The plan:
Get replacement capacitors ie the ceramic caps first and see if that fixes it. As inspecting the radial caps none of them are bulging, which if they are to me indicates needing to be replaced.
I know it will at some point be asked, i can solder, i have done some other projects. such as a LM3886FT amp kit and fixing a Black&Decker cordless screw driver(battery replacement and fixing the directional switch).
Thanks guys!
