Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Thanks for your post. Tomorrow I'm have free time to fix the screen.
Just tell me is it necessary to remove the mosfet's?
Isn't BRI mean brightness (dimming signal control),
and ON/OFF its bl_on signal?
Is it BRI first or second pin?
Thanks again

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Honestly if you're going the the trouble, you might as well just use new CCFLs.
Considering the amount of LED backlight failures in cheap TVs these days, I don't have much faith in LED strips.
LED strips have multiple LEDs. Each one is a point of failure. A single CCFL is much more reliable.Leave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Hello,
I need help. I'm want to update my hp w2007v from ccfl to led.
I've already buy the led stripes and led drivers.
Can somebody help me where to find 12V for drivers on this board.
If need any info please tell me.
Pictures attached.

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Thank you for answering, selldoor. I paid for my impatience and for not reading carefully. Now I'm not living in the mainland and there are not many possibilities to find the 3KV caps. In the first page of this thread there is an explanation of the case with these caps but I decided not to wait and anxiously bridged C19 and C25 with the hope that something will change. It changed ... but for bad
So I got what I deserved. Later I will try to investigate the problem and will communicate. Thank you.Leave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Hmm read the thread some complex circuit stuff in there. More simple things I can help with. Did you test the secondary windings on the inverter transformers. Have you anything else you can check the bulbs on?Leave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Hello guys, it's time for me to ask for help with this monitor. I read the thread and thanks to PlainBill and CapBlown I got my display working again. Previously it had the same problem like the CapBlown's but there was a smell like burnt. And the cause of this was the capacitor C17 (27pF/3KV) shown on the picture - it changed it's color to dark brown. The red line is the connection to the transformer.
I removed Q23 and voila the backlight turned on. It worked some 4-5 days (10 hours a day) and started to smell again. Then I decided to put the two bridges (C19 and C25). When I switched the display on there was no backlight. I heared the high frequency noise for a while and then nothing.
One important thing - I haven't changed any part on the board.
Well, I will try to repair it. Thank you.Leave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Update: This monitor has been working now for more than 750 backlight hours withour any problems since it was fixed. Strange that by removing parts you can actually fix somethingLeave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Thank you for your advices and encouragement PlainBill. I've learned a lot within last few months.
Removing Q23 seems to have solved this backlight shutdown issue for now. I just don't feel too good about it. Looking REV 3 board without that component I think I can live with it.
I managed to destroy Q23 while removing it, so there is no going back anymore.
It's great that this monitor is working again, but I have to admit that I am disappointed that I could not understand or locate the real reason causing this problem. Though I can always comfort myself thinking that there must have been a problem with the original design, why else would they have removed that Q23 from the next revision.

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
I think this thread and the "Acer AL2423W Recapped" by Per Hansson demonstrate the patience and persistance in troubleshooting the "tough dogs".
I, for one, will have to re-read both these threads a few more times in the future for everything to sink in.
Like smason wrote in another thread, I enjoy the detailed explanations and have lots more to learn.Leave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
I got replacement cap for fragmented one. I purchased MMC with capacitance measurement capability and found out it was 98 nF so I replaced it with 100nF
I measured also IC pin 13 (CT). I don't know if it means anything but if I measure it with multimeter, backlights immediately go off and AC voltage goes like this:
1,8 V~ -> 9.9 V~
Seems pretty sensitive circuitry... even though in this situation monitor can be switched back on immediately.
I was wondering would it be worth trying to get rid off Q23. If that is the part which screws VSENS input signals, removing it like it's been done on REV 3 board might help?

You bring up a very good point. Q22 appears to be SMD code RKM; Q23 certainly is. That is a RK7002 MOSFET. Because of the way it is wired, it certainly changes the voltage on the OVP input of the controller. Because of the tests you did with jumpers we know that reducing the voltage on the Vsens input will prevent shutdown.

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Thanks again PlainBill.
I think that eventually I will have a junk box. As a beginner I need to go shopping again. This time I'll get some extra components though, I never seem to have what it takes to do anything.

It's connected to pin 7, OVP, parallel with that 100kΩLeave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
It's going to be difficult to determine the value. The first step would be to determine which pins on the IC it is hooked to. There are several timing caps that set delay times. If this is one of those, it will be fairly easy to select a 'common' value.

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
I was watching some old pictures and it looks like that cap was looking allright when I got this monitor. It must have gone like that during testings or when resoldering it.Leave a comment:

Re: HP w20 LCD Display Inverter, running out of options.
Thanks PlainBill.
Thinking about that OVP input I took a closer look at it. Makes me wonder if I've found a bad capasitor. At least it looks like there are fractures in it so I think I better change it. How could I identify it's capasitance as I have no schematics.Leave a comment:

by x_orange90_xI 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... -
by momakaNormally, 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...

by lostoneHello, 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...-

by ant3202Hi Everyone
Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.

The monitor is HP 27es LED Monitor
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Deskto...e/td-p/6804692
The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.
Sometimes need to power and off again to restore the display but...-

by Rick_1234Good 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.
