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

My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?
My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell... -
Hi,
Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate... -
I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type... -
