    HP f1703 Monitor

    Powers on fine. Only displays VGA image for a second then turns off. Indicates there is no signal being received. Everything appears to ok on the graphics board.

    Now on the power board....

    I have noticed some bad solder joints on the choke coils and a bulging cap.

    Resistance on all caps on the board are the same (without removing)


    The worst thing is that I have a 19" HP which is doing the exact same thing!

    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

      Re: HP f1703 Monitor

      The cap in picture 2 is definitely bulging. Replace that.

      I'm the last person that should talking about soldering, but it looks like the solder joint just above D207 has a line fracture. A good solder joint should like the one right of D207. The left most solder joint (next to the word CONN) also looks like it has a split crater.

      I think that yellow/brown stuff my be flux and not cleaned off? Someone else can verify or dispute?

          Fault diagnosis: Dark screen after switch on lcd monitor.

          Fault location: Found the dry joints on inductors L201 on high voltage inverter board. (This high voltage inverter board has three inductors have the same dry joints).

              VIOLA! That was it! Thank you for your time and consideration!

              Now as far as the bulging cap, all the caps on the board have same value in uf and voltage. When I checked resistance, they were all within a few thousands of each other. Does this mean that is is "showing bad", but will eventually go?

              Once again thank you!

                  What was "it"? Please clarify so we know what fixed "it"?

                  How did you test the caps? With an ESR tester? or DMM with the caps unsoldered? What exact reading did you get for resistance?

                      It was the those bad solder joints on the "L" coils. The board had 5 on it but only 3 had those crappy joints. Heated and reapplied.

                      I have a Fluke 16 DMM and was getting 1.651 on the K scale, with cap still on board.


                      Thanks!

                              Do replace that cap, if it's bulging, it has already failed. Piece of mind for a small amount of change that you won't have to open it anytime soon.

                                  You can only use a DMM to see if the caps a shorted, but you can't test them if they have high ESR or not. For that you need an ESR meter.
                                  What brand and series are the caps anyways? The one in pic 2 does look a bit bulged. If it is, then it's probably a good idea to replace all caps from that brand.

                                          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...

                                          Hi,
                                          solder joints on heat sinks - how much do they matter? Could poor joints on heat sink cause issues if they are not properly joining to hot ground?
                                          I'm looking at power source module of Panasonic plasma TV and I see many of these having visually poor quality, but could they matter? In general I would guess no, but I saw a video where someone was stressing out the importance of tightening the screws when fastening the power source board specifically for the ground to be connected properly.
                                          Thanks

                                          Hello Badcaps Community,

                                          I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

                                          The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

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

                                          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.
