  • HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.

    Having issue with HP w20, 20" LCD, Manufactured 2006.

    Display works perfecly about 15 minutes then it suddenly brightens a bit and immediately after this backlights are turned off. When monitor has been operated to this point, and I restart the monitor it opens up, immediately brightens a bit, and backlights are turned off again. Letting it cool down for half an hour and I get another 15 minutes before baclights go off.

    Problem must be on inventer board as image is still there. So I visually inspected all capacitors, they seem to be allright, could it still be a capacitor issue? Or could it be a dry joint?

    I resoldered almost everything on inverter board, especially transformers as I found out looking other threads that my problem is close to 'two seconds to black' -symptom. Now tested with backpanel off and monitor operated nicely about 4 hours, then backlights turned off again.

    Is this a heat issue? Those four 1000 uF and two 1500 uF caps are very hot. As ventilation was now so good, I tried to cool them down with cold spray. It did not help at all. So I froze all other components with it too... problem remains.

    I took another approach... after monitor cooled down, i took a blowdryer and heated up the components on inverter board for minutes. Then I turned the monitor on expecting it to shut down immediately. But it worked for half an hour now before backlights went off.

    Obviously the problem is with inverter but I don't know what parts should I take for closer inspection. Maybe I'm going to resolder transformers again?

    Any other suggestions will be appreciated. I'm confused.

    Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
    by x_orange90_x
    I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

    I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

    HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
    by momaka
    Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

    Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
    by lostone
    Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

    First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
    When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...

    LG 23MP55HQ LED Monitor turns off after a few seconds or flickers.
    by Rick_1234
    Good evening, gentlemen.

    I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.

    To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.
