    Re: Emprex LM-2203 LCD

    Took the offending lamp out of the panel and there actually two lamps in the assembly. The tube connected to the red wire (b1 on my test) had a burnt solder joint at the far end of the lamp. Look like it got hot the insulation on the white wire is dis-colored brown and the wire is all oxidized. The solder on the lamp is also all oxidized.

      The thread below talks about a similar thing. Have a read to see how they dealt with it

        I happy to report the monitor has been fixed. The issue was a broken return wire on one of the lamps. I was able to take all apart and re-solder the wire (not an easy task). Preliminary tests were good so I assembled the entire monitor and things seem to be working well at this point.

        THANK YOU very much for the help and input to my problem

            Re: Emprex LM-2203 LCD

            I have another question hope it is not to far off topic. The monitor is still working but I notice what I call a shadow or slight ghost image on the screen. The monitor is currently setup in a dual monitor arrangement using a GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4350 GV-R435OC-512I card. The main monitor is connected via DVI the Emprex is connected via the VGA port. I did turn down the brightness which did not make any difference. So did make some kind of mistake when I re-assembled the monitor. There were several pieces of thin mylar paper between the form LCD glass and the thick base plate that the lamps attach to. The paper material was keyed so it would only go on one way. I still have the option of using the HDMI port for the Emprex using a HDMI to DVI converter if anyone thinks it will make different.

              cheap vga cable.
              you want one with at least 3 coax cables for rgb.

                probably a mercury starved lamp.
                is the screen pink/orange on startup?
                excessive cathode fall makes the heat.

                    Onkyo A8200 - Not the right voltages in some transistors
                    by Francesc V.
                    Hi:

                    I am trying to repair this amplifier that I've bought as faulty. I've found some transistors damaged, the ones where I am drawing a red circle.

                    With the final transistors not yet installed (the expensive ones), I've started to measure some voltages:

                    Where I am supposed to have 1.12V (base Q524/Q523) I am reading -42V..................both channels don't seem ok.
                    Where I am supposed to have -1.12V (base Q526/Q525) I am reading -44V..................both channels don't seem ok.
                    I removed and tested Q514,Q516 & Q513,Q515 but the analyzer...

                    Sundown SFB-8000D What are these transistors?
                    by redbaron1007
                    I had a Sundown SFB-8000D amp come into the shop yesterday that wasn't giving any output. The guy who brought it in said he bought it off some crack head on Facebook marketplace for a good price, but bought it knowing it was broken. Apparently the original owner was cutting out the transistors to the right of the ones pictured whenever one would blow and take the output out. Best I can figure he also cut the legs on the S5 and S6 ic's as well and soldered them back together.

                    My problem is Sundown decided in the factory to remove the original markings on the IC's and now I can't figure...

                    MSI Crosshair 15 A11UEK. Need help with Transistors!!!
                    by Bob Wong
                    Welcome badcaps, repairing a Crosshair 15, in need of transistor specifics. Received a broken laptop that's was perfect for repair, threw away the looser transistors in a haste... Should and could have salvaged them.
                    In any case, I will be posting all my discoveries to this forum as a thanks in advance. Thanks in advance lol.

                    P.S. If anyone is familiar with such things, as in, If anyone knows that MSI uses one or one of a few types of transistors when marked with a number please let me know how I can find more specifics before I start throwing hail marys.

                    Marantz PM-66SE Burns Transistors
                    by hyva_ana
                    Hello,

                    While ago I replaced those big filter caps to that amplifier. After that started to happen. I connected the amplifier normally to the mains and almost immediately several transistors burned out. I really didn't do anything else (at least on purpose) than replaced those big caps C801 and C802.

                    After that I replaced those burned transistors (I can't remember exactly what they were) and measured all the others, and now everything should be ok. But, when I power up that amplifier part with two bench power supplies connected in series there is obviously still something...

                    GYSMI 160p welder transistors shorted
                    by vbogoev
                    Hello,

                    Here I have GYSMI 160p welder with no output. Otherwise the machine is starting, the fan is spinning, but the output is zero... I disassembled the welder and found the problem. 3 out of 6 transistors are shorted, and 3 pairs of 4 resistors are burned... There's also 1 burned "ultra fast diod" on another board that is connected to the transformer. My question is how can I identify these burned resistors, I have no idea what value they should be, also I am not able to find any image of the board over the internet... The other part numbers are clearly visible, so I...
