    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

                  Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                  by Tynan Dill
                  I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                  Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                  I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                  The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                  With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                  Assuming...
                  ORIGINAL POWER SUPPLY BOARD

                  Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                  by PantherDave
                  Hi all!

                  I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                  I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                  Hi all,

                  TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                  I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                  A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                  Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                  One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
