I saw a thread on this forum
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7445
that talked about building something to test CCFL bulbs in LCD computer monitors. Go about midway down in the thread and you will see very nice pics from someone named eguevarae.
I am trying to build the same kind of thing and i had a few questions.
First i bought an inverter board from Mouser
http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...LvyuyTMA%3d%3d
The data sheet is on the website. I am also enclosing a picture of the actual board that i received.
Questions:
1) Is the inverter i bought going to be able to turn on a single CCFL bulb? If so is there a min/max size bulb it will turn on?
2) I reviewed the board and compared it to the connection diagrams and i wanted to verify that the way i planned to connect the bulb is ok. I provided a connection diagram pic (from the inverter data sheet) and a pic of my board and how i plan to wire the ccfl bulb. My question is .......... am i doing it right?
3) For the bulb.........does it matter which lead goes to which wire of the bulb? I am enclosing a pic of 3 connectors and i assume that there is a bulb for EACH connector. I am showing only the 3 connectors going to the "top" bulbs. There are 3 additional such connectors for the "bottom" set of bulbs. So lets look at the connector that has the black and pink wires. I assume this goes to a bulb.........does it matter if the black wire is connected to say "out1" from inverter and the pink is connected to the "gnd" from inverter?
I hope someone has the answers. Thanks again.
If you have questions , concerns, comments, answers, or critical comments........please let me know.
