This monitor keeps eating C5907s on one side of the inverter. I've replaced the caps on the inverter and resoldered the plugs. There was a bulged cap on the video board but another tech lost it. I replaced it with 1000uf at 25v but I think its too big. Anyone know what the cap should be on the video board or why else one side of ICs would burn.

Re: HP f1903 problem.
The most likely cause would be a short. It could be as elusive as a shorted turn on the transformer, or a shorted (or open) cap or transistor.Originally posted by NxB

Re: HP f1903 problem.
I dug through it more, it seems like a short. I think it not worth messing with anymore. I think the transformer is shorted on that side.Comment

Exchange the transformers with each other just to make sure.Originally posted by NxBThere are 10 kind of people in this world: those that understand binary, and those who don't.- ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code

And if it IS a bad transformer, check to see if someone here has one available.Originally posted by eguevarae

Re: HP f1903 problem.
I don't want to lose more C5907s. One of them was arcing. I got this thing on a couple of times and I thought I fixed it. I put it in the case and it stopped turning on. I think when you put the screen in the metal housing it shorts or moves something. Either way I've done WAAAY too much work for $50.Comment

Re: HP f1903 problem.
That changes the approach. Save it for parts, for future use of the lamps, screen or something else.Originally posted by NxBThere are 10 kind of people in this world: those that understand binary, and those who don't.- ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code

Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.
First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected... -
For some reason I'm just not going to let this 19" TV defeat me. I guess because I have a schematic to work from I feel like I'm oh so close.
History- while adding a turn-on circuit I let a small screw roll under the power board. Worked through all of that circuitry, probably replacing a MOSFET and PWM controller that were not bad but I was following the service manual. Finally figured out that the power supply is in working order when the inverter section (for the backlights) is disconnected. When the +12 supply to the inverter is disconnected the +12 and +5 will come up... -
Greetings everyone,
I have a HANNSG Hi221 monitor that exhibits two seconds to black issues (backlight goes off, display is still on as confirmed by shining a flashlight on it) with some additional oddities...
The monitor failed on me with a standard "2 seconds to black" some time ago prompting me to initially replace most of the electrolytic capacitors (some of them were bulging/leaking).
Things kinda sorta worked for a night, then the problem returned along with some flickering and "buzzing" noises.
Upon closer inspection... -
I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.
In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.- Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
Frequency: Happened about once a week.
Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again. - Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
Frequency: Happened about once a week.
Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve. - Problem: TV shuts down
