    Benq FP731 1st of 2 no backlight

    Getting most of the way through my pile 'o monitors to fix.
    Next up 1st of 2 Benq FP731s.

    My notes from when I first tested the batch, say no backlight. I *think* that means I could see an image with a flashlight, but I don't remember now.

    Silly assumption (I really must stop assuming) that I'd find bad solder, and bad 2sc5707s, so I disassembled and didn't do any voltage measurements.

    Surprise 1:
    All soldering (particularly inverter transformers) looks fine, even under magnification.

    Surprise 2:
    All 4 2SC5707s test fine out of circuit on a Peak analyzer. Figures, I have them in stock....

    Non-Surprise 1 Pico fuse PF751 is open. I *think* I got some of those with the 5707s from Ebay, hope so....

    Guess I'll replace the fuse and do some power-on measurements.
    More to come.....

    There are two more transistors on the board you should check. there number may be?FU9024N.
    Al.
    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

      I got some picofuses with C5707/FU9024 off ebay.

      I just fixed a FP731 and after checking everything carefully, all I did was change the picofuse and I'm using it now to write this.

        Well I tested the other transistors in-circuit, none are shorted. Tested a few caps, they're in spec. Nothing else appears bad. Installed a new fuse (turns out I did get some with the transistors) and the monitor is up and going!

        2 down 2 to go

          Opened up, inspected. Soldering looks fine, though someone may have been in here, a few joints have some flux.

          Tests, pico fuse, open. 2SC5707s 1 totally shorted, other 3 test ok. FETs test ok.
          Replaced all 4 5707s and the fuse, monitor working fine.

          Now for the Benq Q7c4 2 seconds to black..... Next week.

            UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
            by triplefour
            this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
            i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
            unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
            according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

            Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
            by DanPoka
            I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
            Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
            This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

            No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
            by Comp_Pro
            Hello all,

            Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

            Tests performed:

            There is no backlight even with a good screen.
            Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
            Fuse F8400 ok
            Current sense resistor R8400 ok
            Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
            Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
            Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
            Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
            I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

            iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
            by cheebster
            Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
            Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
            Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
            The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
            Anyone...

            LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold
            by canadaboy25
            Hi all,

            I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

            I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
