I've had days like that. I STILL haven't found my isolation transformer.

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
I found my probes and checked the board.
I connected the probe to both pins of the crystal instead of the processor. The pins on the processor is just so small that I am scared that I will short some pins when I measure.
I seems like there are signals.
Please see the attached pictures.
By the way, I was using channel 2 of the scope.Attached FilesI am learning.Comment

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
The amplitude is good, but it looks to me like you have a frequency of about 70 Khz. The doesn't make sense. I would have expected 14 Mhz.Originally posted by albertwong

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
It's unclear whether the x10 is selected on amplitude or TB, Bill. But 2.5div of amplitude at 50mV/div is a bit short.Originally posted by PlainBill
Certainly that isn't the waveform I'd expect on either xtal pin. Something wrong - wrong pin maybe, or the oscillator circuit trying to excte the xtal? I'd like the OP to zoom in on those included angles after the H-L transitions, as it may be the oscillator trying to start at xtal freq.Friends don't let friends buy Samsung ....Comment

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
You could be right; I was assuming a 10X probe.Originally posted by pedro

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
Yes, it is 10x probe.
I connected my probe to both pins behind the crystal on the board. Is that how I should connect? I did not connect to the processor.
So how should I change the setting on my scope?
I had a hard time making my scope work. I will take a full picture of the face panel of my scope tonight so that you can have a better idea of what setting I have.
Let's say if the frequency of the crystal is not right, then could it be the crystal not working?
Should I replace the crystal?
Hi Bill, I just saw that you will be having a cataract surgery on May 19, 2010. I wish everything will be going smooth and you will recover soon.Last edited by albertwong; 04-23-2010, 07:14 AM.I am learning.Comment

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
Connect the scope ground to circuit board ground. Connect the scope probe to either side of the cap. One side should give a stronger signal; use that side.Originally posted by albertwong

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
The timebase is uncallibrated in your photo. Turn the orange variable knob on the TIME/DIV fully clockwise to the CAL'D position.
Measure the Xtal as PlainBill says. Try to do it without the extra red croc clip lead. This will give a clearer image.________________________________________________

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
I measured it again with the new suggestion.
I turned the TIME/DIV fully clockwise to the CAL'D position.
connect ground of the scope to the board ground and connect the probe to either side of the crystal. The ground of the probe is not connected.
I got some signals. But not matter how I turn the delay, the wave won't stop moving. I cannot stabilize the display.
I took a picture of it.

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
Some suggestions:Originally posted by albertwong
1. Upper right corner. Set Sweep Mode to Norm; Source to Ch2.
2. Upper center, set Hor Display to A
3. 'A Time / Div and Delay Time'. Make sure red knob is pushed in and rotated fully clockwise.
4. Adjust Holdoff knobs to stabilize the display. Adjust gray knob under 'A Time / Div and Delay Time' to show several cycles of the waveform.

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
Thx for the suggestion.Originally posted by PlainBill
A few questions.
Can you explain a little bit more about what the sweep mode, source and hor Display is?
I am always curious about what are those.
Also, on the holdoff knobs, there is a grey small knob on top of the big one. What's the different?
WHen I first got the scope, I was having a hard time stablilzing the screen. So I am thinking it is not working properly. May be I just have the wrong setting.
Thx for teaching me so much.I am learning.Comment

I've got an identical problem with another Dell monitor, a E177FPf. The interesting thing is it's a totally different system. Power supply, inverter and logic all on one board. The processor chip is also different. I'm going to be going over it carefully to see if I can figure out what is going on. The only thing I can think of trying is reinitializing the EEPROM.

Re: Dell LCD E198WFPF no power
Not necessarily. On many monitors you can do a reset by holding down certain buttons, then plugging it in. I'm not at all sure that that will work in this case, usually a monitor with a corrupted eeprom will at least flash the power button.Originally posted by albertwong

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?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.

Hi Everyone. First official post so fingers crossed I conform and also manage to get photos to work.
So I am requesting some help from anyone who happens to have one of these motherboards to hand and perhaps a multimeter.
My board has a single row of header pins for all the front panel stuff (have seen others where they are grouped together differently so thats no help) and the two pins for the power on switch had been previously repaired and I am trying to make a better repair. There looks to be pad and trace damage and im happy to relocate the header pin/pins to...06-24-2024, 01:24 PM -
Hi all!
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. π
I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

Hi!
I have a weird one for you. I have a H87-Pro4 from Asrock that power cycles. But only when you do a restart after it was already running!
Symptoms in detail:- I switch off the ATX PSU for ~15-20 seconds, then switch it back on again.
- I press power button. The board boots without issues.
- I can shut down the board any way I want (via OS* menu, or pushing the power button - either in the OS or the boot manager).
- Push power button again, board boots fine.
- This shutdown/powerup can be repeated multiple times without problems.
- BUT: If I do a restart instead

I have no idea what Iβm doing, but Iβm learning by trial and error.
Iβm currently working on a Dell Optiplex AIO 7490βone of a bunch of AIOs that mysteriously failed to POST just a few days after the warranty expired. The original issue was that the PC worked fine until it was rebooted, after which it got stuck on a black screen (no backlight), with fans spinning at normal speed and a solid white power LED. Forcing it off by holding the power button would just cause it to switch on automatically and get stuck again on...07-04-2025, 12:54 PM
