    LG Flattron W2442PA CCFL to LED Conversion Question

    Hello all! Recently one of my two LG Flattron W2442PAs kicked out with the 2 seconds to black issue. After coming across a thread with a similar issue and performing some tests using my other fully functioning W2442PA, I had determined that the issue was with the CCFL bulbs (as the board from the bad monitor would drive the good monitor's backlights without tripping the CCFL protection, and vice versa the good monitor's board would trip the CCFL protection when hooked up to the bad monitor's CCFLs).

    So to resolve this issue, I ordered a LED Backlight Strip Upgrade Kit from ebay, somehow thinking it would be plug-and-play. Fast forward to today when they finally arrived and I realized that I was very wrong about that.

    From what I now understand, I will have to solder the LED driver board to the power supply in order for this upgrade to work. However, I haven't the first clue where to be soldering which connection. I looked at the service manual and the schematic and I'm struggling to make sense of them next to the actual PSU board.

    Could some kind soul please help me figure out what connections I need to solder with this CCFL to LED upgrade kit and where to solder them on the PSU board so I can revive this old dinosaur for another decade (hopefully)?

      Dell N5010 display issue after UMA conversion
      by Spider1211
      Hey guys, need help figuring out what's causing the following issue.

      I have a dell N5010 which had a bad GPU chip and a UMA conversion was performed.

      Initial conversion was done per this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq8r920tW64

      After conversion, laptop boots and display comes on but once windows starts loading, it becomes all fuzzy/dotted. I initially though it could be a driver issue, so I removed the HDD and booted into BIOS settings. Image was not fuzzy but some letter jitters (like dancing dots at the edge of the letters) was visible....

      MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
      by rounin
      Hi everyone,

      I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

      🛠 Original Issue
      The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
      Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

      I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

      ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

      Three 820-01700 32GB Logic Boards Same Issue: Won't Wake From Hibernate
      by ugamazing
      I have three identical-spec 820-01700 boards (2.6/32/512), and ALL THREE boards came to us with the same fault, from different sources: The boards don't wake from hibernation with the keyboard or lid, they ONLY wake when you press the power button. I understand this is a very minor issue, but the boards must be fixed!

      We will of course begin with the obvious (checking lid signals), but I couldn't help but notice these three boards were all 32GB variants. Has anyone noticed an issue relating to these 32GB boards in particular? I of course don't think it's a RAM issue, but it's bizarre...
