    Compaq CQ1-1012AN backlight issue

    Not quite a laptop, rather it's an all-in-one machine that has an Atom based board.

    Machine was working fine, just replacing the fan; I forgot to plug the backlight cables back in to the separate backlight driver board - no problem, plugged them back in and things powered up, for about 3 seconds and then the backlights shut down again.

    Any ideas on what I might have blown / damaged? Or was it merely coincidental?

    SMD electronics and such are no problem, but I don't know backlight drivers too well.

      Re: Compaq CQ1-1012AN backlight issue

      I've gone ahead and ordered a replacement PN dual MOSFET as I suspect that's what has gone a bit off-colour, primarily because if you look closely you'll see there's no protection diodes for the MOSFET, hence running the unit without the CCFLs connected probably caused some damage to the MOSFET such to the point that it's not triggering the overcurrent protection.

      Couldn't get an exact replacement but ended up with some FAIRCHILD FDD8424H units as a substitute ( on paper it's not as good on the P-ch side but I suspect the chinese unit specs were highly optimistic any how ). That said, the FDD8424H was the *only* thing I could get in the same package and layout at Element14.

      Oh yes, I bought a few 36V zeners as well, don't want lightning striking twice!

          UPDATE: Replaced the P-N MOSFET today, no luck, still the same fault; fires up for about 2 seconds and shuts down.

          It'd be a whole lot simpler if I could get a datasheet for the controller which is a MP10072ES, and while I can source replacements I cannot seem to find a datasheet for the life of me

                  Spidey, did that last night, ordered two generics and a single dual - thanks

                      The original replacement unit arrived the other day, fitted, 100% working. Would still love to know what caused the death of the first one, and where the fault was, but now it's just not worth wasting the time.

                      My generic replacements unfortunately still haven't arrived.

                          Thomson 50UD6306 (TCL) Backlight Issue, starts then stops, led changed
                          by Cornito
                          Hello Team,

                          I'm back with another backlight issue that I thought was simple, but it turned out to be more complex than expected.

                          Let me provide a brief history: The TV was working well, then one day, the backlight started and shut down. I thought I had an LED issue leading to this behavior, so I replaced the LEDs with brand new ones. However, the issue remains the same.

                          Next, I replaced the electrolytic capacitors attached to the LED power supply, but the results were the same. I then replaced the driver, a OB3365RP, and did it twice due to the same result....

                          iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
                          by cheebster
                          Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
                          Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
                          Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
                          The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
                          Anyone...

                          TCL 65C715 backlight issue
                          by Cornito
                          Hello team,

                          I'm back with another topic.
                          It's a 65C715 TCL tv with backlight issue.

                          But the problem is a bit strange.
                          When I took this tv from the marketplace backlight didn't work but picture was ok.
                          Back at home I checked with led tester if led are alive and I can find something different in term of voltage supply => nothing

                          Putting all back together the tv worked fine for weeks. => Contact issue??

                          Few moment later the tv has started to have backlight issue back, turning off and on worked sometimes and tv was working....
