    Gateway fpd2485w

    I have the monitor all tore apart. My issue is it will power on and show the gateway logo for a second then show the desktop for half a second, then black screen. The power light is still on and blue. Going to radio shack to see if they have the caps I need. I'll keep you guys posted. Disregard the 125* caps thing I borrowed the pic found alot of other fixes for this monitor but they have a different board. Hope the caps will fix it.

      You have what is known as the 'Two seconds to black' problem. Save your time, Radio Shack doesn't carry caps that will help. At one time Radio Shack had a good line of merchandise. Eisenhower was President at that time.

      Pictures of someone else's monitor don't do any good. For what it's worth, the caps in this picture look fine.

      My advice, post good quality top and bottom pictures of the power supply board, and of the inverter. If the caps on your board are not bulging it could be a bad CCFL or a bad transformer. With decent pictures I can give you clues to determine which is at fault.

      For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

          HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
          by momaka
          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...

          clock radio / radio lifespan?
          by shelby5041
          hi
          ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

          my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

          since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

          the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

          it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...

          by ant3202
          Hi Everyone

          Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.

          The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.

          LG 23MP55HQ LED Monitor turns off after a few seconds or flickers.
          by Rick_1234
          Good evening, gentlemen.

          I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.

          To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.

          Wise Wing F199 19'' LCD monitor - recapped
          by momaka
          Looking through my repair pictures and notes, it's been a long time since I posted anything in the LCD monitors section. So here goes that.

          I'm dedicating this thread to one of the very first LCD monitors I repaired (if not the first one), which was more than 10 years ago now. The monitor is a Wise Wing, model F199. It's a 19” CFL-backlit LCD. I got it for free off of Craigslist in 2009 from a guy, who said he bought it for cheap from Wallmart and the monitor worked only for a little less than 2 years before quitting.

          When I saw the Craigslist post, I wasn't...
