    Bad CCFL replacement - advice required.

    Hello everyone,
    I have a monitor that has a 2 second to black issue. I managed to trace the fault to what i suspect to be a bad CCFL lamp.
    While i do still get 2 second to black issues without the lamp, the sense CCT has a sense for the open lamp and i assume that i will experience this until a new lamp is installed.

    I do have the following concern about the CCFL replacement and i hope a kind soul will enlighten me to an answer:
    1. Start up and opperating voltage:

    As the 2 sec to black fault is so fast its near to impossible to match my opperating voltage for my lamp. My question for this is, if i were to replace the lamp with a lamp that requires a higher start up voltage and utilizes a higher opperating voltage will the tranaformer be able to supply this?

    For now these are my major concerns as the faulty lamp is completely burnt out, hopefully someone with greater experience can shed some light on the situation.

    If the replacement is the same size as the original, then there will be no problem.

      How much of a problem will I have if I can only source a lamp that is slightly shorter in length but correct on width?

        An inch or so will be OK.

          Help on Samsung Syncmaster T220 dead ccfl lamp
          by mikey5791
          Hi,

          This monitor previously is my main working monitor which i have been using for 8~9 years. Yesterday, when i switched on my pc from fresh to power on, the monitor is just black no display. I started dismantle to look inside the monitor power board but nothing looks suspicious or burnt. So i took my external ccfl inverter to try to power the monitor ccfl lamps which consisted of 2 lamps on upper part and 2 lamps on the lower part.

          Found out the upper ccfl lamp which is supposed to connect to cn304 on the power board did not light up. Then i installed a used working...

          technika tv, 32 inch,capacitor replacement question, useful advice needed
          by rustinjust
          I have a technika tv, 32 inch, around 10 years or so in age and last night when watching tv i heard a hissing sound and the next thing i saw smoke coming out the back of the tv, i instantly unplugged the tv. I took the back off tv to expose power board, then plugged in tv and saw smoke coming out of a capacitor, i will try and attach a photo below, see below for attachments of board and cap, and keep reading, maybe you can advise ?

          The cap says on it: 105kj450mff4. This doesn't mean a lot to me as i'm an amateur when it comes to electronics, though i've undertaken some repairs such...

          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...

          LGA 1700 Socket Replacement Tips & Tricks
          by AJ847.63e
          Hi All,

          Just wanted to see if I can get some advice on techniques and equipment I should use to try replace the socket on a Gigabyte H610M h v2ddr4 I have.

          I was planning on using a heat mat I have that's used for phone, tablet screens, as a base heater than use hot air with a square nozzle on top. Yes I should get a proper preheater but I'm not in the position to go spend 300+ bucks on something I will use every 6 months if I'm lucky. Next expense I need to get is a decent programmer like the RT809H but again it would get used infrequently so hard to justify.

          BenQ TH681 Originally overheating now wont fire the lamp - Colour wheel not starting
          by AJ847.63e
          Hi All.

          Does anyone have any reference materials or something I can use to try troubleshooting a BenQ TH681? Google unfortunately has turned up zip. I did find a service manual for a W series BenQ but that is pretty much useless, it's more a glorified user manual. A list of voltages would be great as I suspect my mainboard is faulty, the colour wheel voltage is not dipping like it should.

          The one I am troubleshooting now was originally overheating after a lamp replacement. It originally would take 2 minutes or so for it to shut off and blink the temp and lamp lights...
