    The two pictures in post number 7 cover the area I am interested in. I need a sharper picture of the top, and also a good, sharp picture of the bottom of that area.

    Alternatively, there are several large resistors on the top side of the board in that area. With power unplugged, check the resistance of each of them and compare it to the color code.

    The UC3842 is quite inexpensive - as low as $1.14 each, but I'd rather make sure I have you order the correct part rather than blindly replacing it.

            Re: Dell e171fpb monitor no power or LED lights

            I made a huge error. When disconnecting the screen I forgot to mark which way the back light connectors. Since they can be inserted either way, does anyone know the proper way to insert these connectors. There are two identical connectors. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

                On all monitors i've worked on it's been pink wire up.

                    Every Monitor I have seen, the backlight connectors ALWAYS only fit into the sockets one way only,otherwise they will not make contact !!

                        If you mean you have 4 connectors split into 2 Pairs(top & bottom),I don't mark which hole they go into. The length of the cable determines which pair of conectors must be used, and as far as I can remember, it does not matter which hole they are then plugged into as long as they are paired.,

                                There are a number of problems with your post.

                                1. You posted in the Monitor and computer display section, not the TV section.

                                2. You hijacked a thread for a Dell monitor.

                                3. Some of the people here are very good, a few are brilliant. NOBODY can accurately diagnose this problem based on the information you provided.

                                4. This TV appears to have two problems - power supply failures and buffer failures.

                                Troubleshooting by replacing boards until you find the bad one is a way to fix a TV - it's an expensive way, but it works - usually.

                                        Dell SE2416h monitor power cycles - very weird behavior
                                        by Ifixstuff9
                                        Hello all,

                                        I have a dell SE2416h monitor that power cycles at somewhat random intervals. When the monitor is first powered on after being off for a few hours, it lasts 15-30 mins before the first power cycle. After that, the cycles progressively get more frequent until the monitor cycles every few seconds.

                                        I'm not sure what is causing this, but maybe something is overheating, causing the monitor to shut off? That would explain why it gets worse with time.

                                        Now here is where things get weird (at least to me, this might be some some common symptom I've...

                                        Hello,

                                        I have Dell 7390, LA-F311P.

                                        AFAIK there's no schematics available, but there's one for LA-F312P in this thread. It differs in no Thunderbolt controller (iirc that's for 5290/5390), however rest of the schematics/BV seems to match 1:1.

                                        Behavior:

                                        Connected barrel plug, no RAM:
                                        - power LED turns on + orange light on front
                                        - turns off after a second or two

                                        Connected barrel plug, with RAM:
                                        - power led turns on + while light on front
                                        - after a few seconds power led turns off, white light...

                                        by reid
                                        Hi, this is my first new thread and I am hoping to get some assistance troubleshooting a Dell Latitude 7280 (LA-E122P). I have fixed a few MacBook logic boards before, but I'm not familiar with Dell boards or schematics, so I don't really know what things are important to know or check first.

                                        When I first got the laptop, it would not turn on. I'd plug it in and press the power button, the power LED would come on for a second and then turn off and the laptop wouldn't do anything. This was fixed by flashing the UC5 EEPROM, so I don't think there was any hardware issues when I first...
