    Gateway FPD1976w 2 second blackout

    I have been following the OPs re: this problem and have replaced the caps with (LCD repair kit for Gateway FPD1976w from CCL-La) even thou they did not look bad with no improvement. I checked the primaries of the high voltage transformers and found them to be @640ohms each and have not changed them. I then used a known good CCFL to replace the top CCFL no change and then the bottom CCFL of the monitor with no change in status.

    What else could be causing this monitor to start up and go dark? I can see the text on the screen after blackout using a flashlight. It definitely seems like a back light problem.

    HELP!!

      you have posted in in laptop section, repost in monitor section or ask moderator to move it, get all the help you need there,
      it may be a bad solder joint on the inverter

          HANNSG Hi221 -- 2 secs to black feat. CCFL flicker & "burn" marks on power board
          by ttmi100x
          Greetings everyone,


          I have a HANNSG Hi221 monitor that exhibits two seconds to black issues (backlight goes off, display is still on as confirmed by shining a flashlight on it) with some additional oddities...


          The monitor failed on me with a standard "2 seconds to black" some time ago prompting me to initially replace most of the electrolytic capacitors (some of them were bulging/leaking).
          Things kinda sorta worked for a night, then the problem returned along with some flickering and "buzzing" noises.

          Upon closer inspection...

          Help on Samsung Syncmaster T220 dead ccfl lamp
          by mikey5791
          Hi,

          This monitor previously is my main working monitor which i have been using for 8~9 years. Yesterday, when i switched on my pc from fresh to power on, the monitor is just black no display. I started dismantle to look inside the monitor power board but nothing looks suspicious or burnt. So i took my external ccfl inverter to try to power the monitor ccfl lamps which consisted of 2 lamps on upper part and 2 lamps on the lower part.

          Found out the upper ccfl lamp which is supposed to connect to cn304 on the power board did not light up. Then i installed a used working...

          Gateway P5WS0/NV57H58u laptop (P5WEO LA-6901P REV:2.0) - (Possible) Multiple Issues
          by Dan John
          Greetings everyone,

          I have a Gateway P5WS0/NV57H58u laptop (P5WEO LA-6901P REV:2.0). The client said the battery was not charging. Upon checking the laptop,

          1) On pressing the power button, the (power button) light turns on and stays on.
          2) There is no boot, or anything on the screen.
          3) The fan starts and stops a few times, then it stops completely.
          4) The light on the power button remains on.
          5) Battery not charging (original issue).

          The original problem was that the battery was not charging, but the laptop still worked. My belief          ...
