    It's a Craftsman. Your right the 1 is on the left side. It will be there before you test anything also. So beasiclly it didn't change when I tested.

    What brand/make and model is your multimeter?

    1 on manual ranging meters usually means inifinty. The 1 should be on the left hand side of the display.

    Transistors are usually bad if they are shorted (ohms < 20). If you are getting infinity, 800 ohms, and 800 ohms, that is a good transistor.

    Thanks for he Advise on other Caps Brands/Series I can get for replacement. THat was very helpful. I finally got my list of Caps to order but I noticed on the board where the 2 bad Transistors are another Transitor Q203
    right next to the Coil. The board looked a littl brown under that too, I thought I would test in circuit. Looks ok(from what I have learned) about 800 or so ohms testing 1-2, 1-3 and 2-3. but I noticed the headsink was not solderwell and was loose once I unscrewed the cover that was screwed into it. the solder wasn't stuck to the trace I figured I better remove and test. It doesn't test to well. When I test I get the following 1-3 only 1 I don't have ol on mine so not sure if that means its open or infinity
    2-3 800ohms and 1-2 the same as 1-3. Nothing or just 1. Basiclly it doesn't change just says 1. on the board its set up as G D S which is 1 2 3
    The numbers on it say U401 and below that is BE6H1S
    I guessing its bad , but if it is. Im not sure what the replacement part would be. I didn't find any info and I'm still learning on finding substitute parts.

    I can send a pic tommorow if need be I will attach a pic whee this is located
    Thanks

    You can also use KY, KZE, LXY, and, LXZ from United Chemicon. PW and HE from Nichicon are yet another option.

I didn't have any luck finding lower ESR(not labled for the other series) Maybe the EB series?
    Try the panasonic FC series (also at digikey). They will work and should cover the lower uf values you're looking for.

    Hello! Your power supply looks very similar to the one used for a dell E177FPc. If that's the case, then the W2156 is a FMW-2156 made by Sanken. Spec sheet below.

    Does that mean there both good since there not open or shorted. Just a little higher reading maybe normal?

    Thanks for pointing out about the Caps Jetadm123.
    I should probably repalce them they are Elite Caps.
    I will start getting the info and look them up and see what I can find. Im glad you pointed that out. Since it should be that much for the caps. If some parts already went the Caps will probablly next. Since that seems common anyways.
    Thanks!

    Thats a real good point about the pics. I will try and remember to take pics ahead time next time.

    I do see the little pic. That makes a little more sense now. Although I have never seen one of these before
    The W2156 tests 1-2 160 3-2 160 and 1 in the other direction for both. I unfortunatlly don't have 0l on my meter. Iwish it was 0l instead of 1! makes it a little less confusing.
    The other one N 6b is 1-2 236 3-2 236 and 1 in the other direction for both.

    Does that mean there both good since there not open or shorted. Just a little higher reading maybe normal?

    Pictures always help a lot. From your pics, I can tell they are dual diodes (I think that is the correct term).

    As you can see in the pic, the direction of the diodes both point towards pin 2.

    Set your multimeter on diode test function.

    So put your black probe on pin 2, red probe on pin 1 and you should get some reading like 0.4 to 0.7 in this direction. Then black on pin 1 and red on pin 2 and you should get 0L.

    Next test is black probe on pin 2, red probe on pin 3 and you should get some reading like 0.4 to 0.7 in this direction. Then black on pin 3 and red on pin 2 and you should get 0L.

    Smart move to test other components prior to ordering parts. Even if you looked at and tested the caps, if they're made by Capxon, Elite or one of the other known "bad" manufacturers, why not go ahead and replace them all (with the exception of the large one)? Panasonic FM low-esr caps are relatively cheap and will save you the hassle of having to open up your monitor again. Hint: (remember the name of this forum?)

    "Any board with RoHS probably uses lead free solder. It is tougher to remove that your 60/40 solder. Using 60/40 with rosin core helps."

    That would explain why it's been taking so long then I thought that seemed a little odd

    "Sorry, where are these on the board? I can't see them. Can I get pictures of these?"

    I just attached pics of where they are located and pic of the Transistors out of the board(best pic I could get)

    "Those 4 transistors should be good".

    I'm glad I should have to worry about those other 4 Tranistors

    Those Diodes are three pin instead of 2. How do I test these. Each is a different Part#

    First is W1256 below that is 6417 the second is N 6B below that is
    FCH10U15 the nbelow that is 161.
    Sorry, where are these on the board? I can't see them. Can I get pictures of these?

    I tested the other 4 transistors on the board. 2 Small regular transistors and 2 voltage regulator looking transistors All 4 tested "1" on 200 ohms so they where all over 200 OHms. Do I need to test them all out of circuit or should that be good.
    Those 4 transistors should be good.

    Thank!,
    I finally got another few mintues to get back to this. I really want to get his going and greatlly appreciate your help and paitience

    I wasn't sure how to test them next and if I should test them 1-2 and 2-3 swaping sides 2-1 3-2? I have them both out of circuit. Wasn't sure If I needed to, but thought It would be a good idea to get a accurate reading.

    Hi Sorry,
    I took out those 2 and tested out of circuit the first one was as follows

    1-2 38
    1-3 225
    2-3 258

    Second

    1-2 25
    1-3 1.3
    2-3 29

    Looks like the second one is shorted?
    1.3 ohm is definitely shorted. I would also say 38 ohms is shorted so both are shorted. Out of circuit, both transistors should measure well over 1000 ohms.

    I tested all the others in circuit and they all where above 10 accept.
    what looked like to voltage regualtors(they where labled D921 and D 922)
    D is usually for diode. Voltage regulators are "U".

    You can test voltage regulators for shorts by (power off and unplugged)

    black on pin 1- red on pin 2 - record ohms
    black on pin 1- red on pin 3 - record ohms
    black on pin 2- red on pin 3 - record ohms

    Diodes can be tested with the diode checker on your multimeter. Put black on one side, red on the other. Record. Reverse probes. Record. One should read 0.4 to 0.7. The other should read 0L.

    I also noticed what looked like cold soldier joints. A lot of them. Can't tell if you can see them in the pic. Should I touch those up?
    You must resolder the all the transformer pins and anything that looks like a bad solder joint. It is likely the poor solder joints on the transformer pins caused the transistors to short out.

    Hi Sorry,
    I just got to do this sorry it took so long. I took out those 2 and tested out of circuit the first one was as follows

    the 1-3 on both where 1.3. IS that something I should test out of circuit or something I need to test differentlly. Those are connected to the large heat sink what looks like the secondary side. I also noticed what looked like cold soldier joints. A lot of them. Can't tell if you can see them in the pic. Should I touch those up? Im guessing it can't hurt. one is on the large filter capacitor. and on the primary second voltage regulator. Again sorry for the delay in getting back. I haven't been able to get to this until tonight.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Anything 3 legged and starts with a Q on your board can also be tested in the same way to make sure they are not shorted.

    If you are getting 1.3 ohms, it is likely shorted.

    Once removed, retest and report back.

    Thanks again, and I will let you know tommorow.

    No worries. I just learned this stuff too.

    Number the pins 1,2,3.

    With power off and your LCD unplugged. Set your multimeter to 200 ohm if it is manual. Black probe in com and red probe in ohm.

    1) put black probe on pin 1, red on pin 2 - record ohm
    2) put black probe on pin 1, red on pin 3 - record ohm
    3) put black probe on pin 2, red on pin 3 - record ohm

    If any of the readings are less than 10 ohm, you probably have a short. To confirm, you will have to desolder them and test them out of circuit.

    Additionally, you can do a diode test the same way. Put your multimeter on diode test.

    1) put black probe on pin 1, red on pin 2 - record diode measurement
    2) put black probe on pin 1, red on pin 3 - record diode measurement
    3) put black probe on pin 2, red on pin 3 - record diode measurement
    4) put red probe on pin 1, black on pin 2 - record diode measurement
    5) put red probe on pin 1, black on pin 3 - record diode measurement
    6) put red probe on pin 2, black on pin 3 - record diode measurement

    A good diode should read between 0.4 and 0.7. In the other direction it should read 0L.

    List all your meaurements and we can confirm.

    edit: 1691 is the correct identifier. Datasheet is at
