Re: Dell BenQ E171Fpb inverter
I am thinking your problem is more likely the power supply or logic board. Inverter problems are no/low backlight. I am currently recapping an E171FPb right now. Can you post some pics of the boards ? Here are some I just clicked off.
The first is my inverter. The (2) 220uf @ 25v were bulged pretty good, I replaced them with some 220uf @35v one I had in the grab bag. The next pic is of the power supply board. All the 1000uf caps were bad with 1 exception. I replaced the (1)10v unit and the (2)16v caps with 16v ones I had in stock. The (3) 35v units are on order. I'll post back as soon as I have them in and power it back up.
The last pic is from a website (click here) selling the EXACT same P.S. only it has omitted one cap ! And that was the one that was gooped up the worst on my board. I did not know it could be left out !!! I intend to replace the popped cap on mine, but do I really need too ?Attached Files -

Re: Dell BenQ E171Fpb inverter
I replaced the last 3 caps and BINGO ! It works like a charm. Nice quality back light and nice image as well. Hey for the $3 worth of parts and a little time it is a keeper.
Badcaps saves another monitor from the recycle bin.Comment
