    Monitor ccfl to led

    Hi all experts,

    I will try to explain clearly what I want to do and the doubts I have.
    This is a Viewsonic monitor for years that have broken the lamps and finding no replacement we have decided to put LED strips.
    We have the DC / DC controller bought in Aliexpress that as you know comes with four cables (VIN, GROUND, ON / OFF AND DIM) to solder on the monitor board.
    I have seen many videos and I have the general idea of what to do but my doubt is that I can not find the right voltage to solder on the board the VIN cable. I only see 12V, 13V and 25V.

    I explain what I have done so far:
    VIN: I have soldered it to 25V in different places of the monitor board (I tested with 12 and 13V but they do not turn on the led) this connector board does not have the pin for VIN
    GROUND: to pin ground on connector
    ON / OFF: to pin ON / OFF of the connector that has 0.12V (is this enough voltage?)
    DIM: to pin BRIGHT of the connector that has 3.28V

    Well, what I have achieved is that I turn on the monitor that I have connected to the laptop, but the image I see is as if it had a lot of brightness but like fog, which means that the icons are not seen at all and what there is in the screen. I know I have not explained myself well and you will not understand me but it is difficult to explain.

    So it is clear that somewhere I screwed up, either in the 25V of the VIN, either in the rest of voltages or maybe that as I read somewhere should have disconnected some mosfets and some capacitor on the board.
    The help that I am asking for is that you tell me exactly where on the board I should solder the different wires of the regulator.
    And this is where I ask for your help so you can guide me by giving me ideas and suggestions.
    I send photos of the board on both sides, photos of the DC / DC controller, photo of the monitor model and also if you need I have the PDF of the monitor available.

    Well, I thank all those experts who lend themselves to help.
    Regards.

    Re: Monitor ccfl to led

    vin = 12v

    leave dim unconnected.
    the off/on pin needs gnd or atleast 3v - i cant remember witch.
    for a test try connecting that pin to 3.3v or 5v to see if the leds come on.

      You should stick to ONE thread.

      Making two thread is not going to help, it just causes more confusion.

        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
        by Tynan Dill
        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

        Assuming...

        HANNSG Hi221 -- 2 secs to black feat. CCFL flicker & "burn" marks on power board
        by ttmi100x
        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...

        TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
        by howardc64
        All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
        • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
        • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

        Hp v193 monitor power supply board
        by penangit
        Hey everyone,hope everyone is fine, I got an issue hoping you guys can help me,

        I got a HP V193 monitor it has a E59670 now i got a few of these, been using them for long time now, however this particular monitor was blacking out for a few times then after unplugging and plugging it back in it gets back to normal until now its dead.

        I tried switching the power supply board with another similar monitor and it works,so I'm trying to fix this power supply board I got some basic in electronics as a hobbyist.

        Steps taken so far:

        Checked all...

        Solder won’t melt on MacBook 2021 logic board – need advice
        by defdjamel
        Hi everyone,
        I’m trying to remove a component from a 2021 MacBook logic board, but I’m having trouble.
        https://www.electronicsdatasheets.co...s/tlv70733pdqn
        I’m using hot air at 480 °C with full airflow and good flux, but the solder paste is not melting.

        I know there’s a lot of thermal dissipation from the board, and I suspect the copper planes are absorbing most of the heat.

        Do you have any tips for this kind of board? Would a preheater help?

        Thanks in advance!
