Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
Well every electrolytic cap on the main board except two are shorted to ground. Some of the ceramic caps in the NW quadrant of the board nearby the two regulators are also measuring shorted.
So either the main board is internally shorted at the board level or the big Genesis IC chip is shorted out.
Time to file this in the junk pile for now and move onto the next project.

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
5) For U5, this should work
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/prod...9-1-ND/1883984
It is a 2.5V 1A SOT-223 package.It was not obvious to me until I started measuring the voltage regulator out of circuit and I got weird results and then noticed the I G O markings. That is, pin 1 = VIN, pin 2 = GND, and pin 3 = VOUT.
The above digikey one that I referenced is one I'm used to recommending (1117), but the pinout is G O I (pin 1 = GND, pin 2 = VOUT, pin 3 = VIN). This is what I'm used to seeing 99% of the time.
As for the correct one, I will have to do some searching. Digikey's website doesn't search where I can input the pinouts.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
To protect everything around, I ordered 100 feet of Kapton tape ($4) and use it as a heat shield as you can see in the pictures. Both regulators came out with no problems after about 90 seconds of heat.
Now remember, my in circuit readings suggested both U13 and U5 were shorted. Well U13 and U5 are fine. There are no shorts and I tested it with a 9V battery and both output the correct voltage.
With both regulators removed, unfortunately, the pads still show a short. So there must be something else shorted on the logic board.
Anyway, I wanted to share a tip about using Kapton tape in the future whether you use a soldering iron or heat gun.
Note to self: Avoid this Dell model, even free, at all costs.Last edited by retiredcaps; 05-18-2012, 12:33 AM.Leave a comment:

Cool!
I would never go back to working with one! keep us updated on the progress of your new projectLeave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
Hoping to acquire a flickering Samsung 22 inch.
A few months back, I was in possession of a flickering one, changed the caps, and took it to London with me as a present for a buddy of mine. I introduced him to the world of working with dual monitors and now he doesn't know he functioned all this time with just one.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
Hey Las,
Your right there are some that might get the better of you but if you have only lifted a pad it wouldn't be the end of the world you can normally repair them.
If its gone already then i'm sure you can make up for it with your next project! as a matter of interest what do you have your eye on?Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
Update on my project...I'm sorry to report that my logic card fix did not go well. The existing solder was the closest thing I've found to cement, and the parts just would not budge. I tried all the usual tricks - adding a little solder, adding a little flux, pressing the turbo button on my iron - and the board was damaged, and I screwed it up.
I started by removing the cap C155 next to the voltage regulators to make some more room. I ultimately got it out but it took one of the pads with it. And I've probably done fifty caps in the past year, and never had a problem.
Voltage regulator U5 went in cleanly, but the U13 was more difficult. And in the process, I damaged the microscopic C156 next to it. It just popped off, and it was so small I barely noticed it. And now either it's bad or put in badly - probably both but I could barely tell which side is up.
Anyway, they can't all be winners in this game and I already have my eye on another project for this weekend. But no doubt this one was a learning experience and the next one should go better. LAS.Leave a comment:

I hope the MOSFET did not get damaged when the Diodes shorted out.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
I found a SF34G through hole diode on a junk board and will try a single diode hopefully in the next few days (forecast is rain for next 3 days). I have backlog of stuff including the Toshiba 46 inch TV to work on.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
I would replace them with ONE Shottky Diode with 3 or 4A rating instead, I do not believe in using two Diode in parallel. Since there is a lot of space, you can try through hole Diode. We already know that the original setup did not work.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
I have been thinking about how the discussion regarding these monitors is how the two Schottky diodes short out over time, possibly due to their relatively low 1a rating. Would anyone recommend replacement with 2a 40v diodes instead as shown in the link below?

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
I am not sure I should start a new thread for the Dell 2007 or not, I found 2 of them today at the recycle place and took it apart to check the voltages and draw up some diagram.
I have about 52 pictures.
Anyone of you think I should start a new thread or not.
Thanks.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2007WFP Won't Power On
I currently have a Dell 2408WFP monitor that works - except it has a crack in the LCD panel. The circuit cards have all the replacement voltage regulators and Schottky diodes I need for this 2007WFP. Is it worth cannibalizing that, or should I concentrate on finding a replacement lcd for the 2408WFP?
2) The key is to interpret the voltage regulators as per my post #68
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...5&postcount=68
3) Both the 1.8V and 2.5V 1A regulator are widely available at digikey.
4) For U13, this looks suitable assuming the input voltage is less than 18V DC. As you know the power supply puts out 19V DC and I don't know if it is dropped down by the USB board before being fed into the logic board or not since I don't have a working system.
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/prod...ICT-ND/2095617
It is a 1.8V 1A TO-252-3 package.
5) For U5, this should work
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/prod...9-1-ND/1883984
It is a 2.5V 1A SOT-223 package.
6) For the diodes, I was looking at
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/prod...RCT-ND/2486749
A 40V 1A Schottky fast recovery diode in 0603 format.
7) Fuse.
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/prod...96-1-ND/615056
8) All the above are 50 to 65 cents each and I would highly recommend you get extras because if two people in different countries have the exact same components going bad, you can bet in the future that it will fail again for whatever reason.
9) So for about $3.00 in parts, this will hopefully fix the 2007WFP which is why I recommend not stealing parts from the 2408 as per #1.
10) Please doublecheck sizing for all parts.Last edited by retiredcaps; 05-12-2012, 05:15 PM.Leave a comment:

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?by Tynan DillI 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.

by PantherDaveHi 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.

by Borse2008Hi everyone,
Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.
I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:- The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.

This is my first post! 🚀
I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m learning by trial and error.
I’m currently working on a Dell Optiplex AIO 7490—one of a bunch of AIOs that mysteriously failed to POST just a few days after the warranty expired. The original issue was that the PC worked fine until it was rebooted, after which it got stuck on a black screen (no backlight), with fans spinning at normal speed and a solid white power LED. Forcing it off by holding the power button would just cause it to switch on automatically and get stuck again on...07-04-2025, 12:54 PM -
by zlr8rhey guys, hoping for some pointers to repair an eBay bought "faulty" laptop.
Ill try and give as much info as I can.
Dell Inspiron 17 (7786) Laptop
Service Tag: 5J0NHT2
Bios: 1.9.0
When I received this , it would only flicker on the KB backlight for a second, then off and on.
Then it started getting weirder!
Sometimes when attaching the AC power supply, and pressing various pre-boot diagnostic keyboard keys... it did try to boot, in fact out of a hundred attempts, the laptop did actually boot into the Bios ! but never has... - Loading...
