    Gateway 1975w no power

    Ok, So I got a Gateway 1975w in today, and found that it has no power. Is there anyone out there very familure with this monitor that may be able to help me? It is a different type of deal because the powerswitch goes to the video board, then to the powerboard. Maybe there is a micro fuse or something like that that is bad?

    Thanks Dobber

    Post clear focused pics (after reading FAQ).

    Possible reasons for no power

    1) bad fuse
    2) bad caps in secondary side
    3) bad solder joints on the AC input
    4) bad main filter cap
    5) no secondary voltage to logic board
    6) on/off switch is bad
    7) others

      Here is an excellent post by PlainBill (post #8) on another "no power" monitor and how to divide and conquer.

      If you follow these steps, you should be able to narrow down the problem.

        Sweet, I will post picks if I can not get it up and going. There is no sign of any damage, but you know how that goes with monitors.

        Thanks Much
