    Heres' an easy to use CCFL and Inverter test kit for LCD repairs...

    Take a look at my homemade CCFL lamp and Inverter test kit....pic shows a dual case light add on modified for testingl...the two pairs of white leads are what you're after...left pair has a pair of cap legs soldered into stranded wire for a single fine test lead to put in those tiny lamp connector holes (waste not, want not), and the right pair of leads are soldered flat so they nicely stick in the board connector to test the inverter. The 12V battery pack is lighting my 'spare' redundant lamp, and I've left the female dongle on for an alternate connection to power.
    Saving the switch and male dongle for another project...you never know.
    Questions...?

      How much did that cost to build and were the components readily available?

              I have not always had the best of luck with setups like this. I made a lamp tester out of a PC case CCFL power supply just like that one. I noticed that mine had no problem running failing lamps without turning off. The lamps would run via the test power supply, but the monitor's power supply would trip right away.

                  the trick is to connect the invertor to the psu through an ameter to measure how much current the tube draws.

                      HANNSG Hi221 -- 2 secs to black feat. CCFL flicker & "burn" marks on power board
                      by ttmi100x
                      Greetings everyone,


                      I have a HANNSG Hi221 monitor that exhibits two seconds to black issues (backlight goes off, display is still on as confirmed by shining a flashlight on it) with some additional oddities...


                      The monitor failed on me with a standard "2 seconds to black" some time ago prompting me to initially replace most of the electrolytic capacitors (some of them were bulging/leaking).
                      Things kinda sorta worked for a night, then the problem returned along with some flickering and "buzzing" noises.

                      Upon closer inspection...

                      Samsung LN40C630K1F LCD TV No Backlights and Flashlight Test Fail
                      by signal.quest
                      Hi all,

                      I have been working on a Samsung LN40C630K1F LCD TV. On power up the backlights only briefly light up when first powered on then they go out (2 seconds to black). The flashlight test also fails. The sound works fine. Please see attached pics.

                      I have researched the forums a lot. I have watched the videos of trying to locate the bad CCFL or transformer and bypassing. I can't find any evidence of a bad transformer/CCFL. I verified I get 376V from the big caps to the fuse. I have used a small/cheap oscilloscope and it looks like the MOSFETs on the inverter...

                      How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
                      by chth96
                      Hello
                      I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
                      So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
                      I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
                      I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

                      Sony KDL-46BX450 Inverter Troubleshoot Logic
                      by caseyjay_48
                      I am currently on a troubleshoot of 46” Sony KDL-46BX450 tv. I came back from Washington to Texas on medical emergency and had to leave all my tools up there. All I have is a couple of screwdrivers and a dvm. I wish to ask the community a troubleshooting question. Please forgive stupid questions as meds I am taking produce brain fog.
                      I have well maintained Sony KDL-46BX450. It went black one day. After turn-on, I get solid green light and Sony logo in screen center for about 1-2 seconds, then black. No blinking LEDs, no hissing. Flashlight test shows screen characters dimly viewable,...

                      test active pfc power with lamp test
                      by khelane
                      Hello
                      I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
                      Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
                      Is there a way...
