    a2338 no backlight (i2c_bklt_sda, i2c_bklt_scl no signal)

    Hello.
    I have a problem about backlight.
    I changed almost backlight parts, but I can't get over 40v from them.

    I think display connect signal is missing. (I2C_BKLT_SDA, I2C_BKLT_SCL is just pull-up voltage (5.18V) when I connected edp )
    so backlight circuit doesn't step-up voltage.

    normal logic board has I2C signal. but bad one is missing.

    what should I do?

    Be sure your display is compatible with this model of logic board.

    what is the voltage to ground of the smbus scl and sda lines?

      yes I used display that working on normal board. in diode mode, them looks like 0.5

        Diode mode confirms the i2c lines are not damaged.

        confirm the pull up voltage is present. Check the lcd connector to be sure the led lines are all reaching the backlight controller.

        remove all power. Check the resistance to ground of the backlight rail. Compare to good unit.

          EIZO CX270 - No signal but Backlight and Panel works, logo works, admin menu works. OSD doesn't. What?!
          by vf fa
          Hi, so i guess I´ll have to make a new topic here, as i browsed through hundreds of other threads but couldn't find a solution to my problem yet.

          I got a EIZO CX270 from a friend. He said it doesn't work anymore and wont display any signal or take any OSD inputs. Well, as an aspiring photographer I couldn't say no, could I? Thought it was an easy game, replace a bad cap and have a working monitor. But nooope, it wasn't supposed to be this easy.

          So let me start with the problem description. I'll try my best not to skip anything so this might get rather long.

          this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
          i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
          unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
          according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

          A2338 820-02020 no backlight after liquid
          by iMuhtaseb
          this computer came in for no backlight after liquid spill

          PPVOUT_LCDBKLT is 0v
          PP5V_BKLT_A is 5v
          PP5V_BKLT_D is 5v
          BKLT_EN_R is 1.8v coming MPMU
          BKLT_SDA 5.1v
          BKLT_SCL is 5.1v

          PP5V_SW_LCD is 5v
          PP3V3_SW_LCD is 3.3v

          FP800 Fuse is OK

          BKLT_SD is 12v; something is shutting down the backlight

          I took the measurement of all legs of UP800 and compared them to flexBV; everything seems ok
          nevertheless I have replaced it not once but twice with known-goods still same issue..

          Requesting Help For GA-970A-DS3 rev. 1.0, No Post code, no RSMRST# signal
          by AstutePauciloquent
          Hi everyone, over the past few months i have taken a deep dive into motherboard diagnostics and I love the challenge. Currently im trying to learn all about the signals that travel around the motherboard, such as frequencies, enable signals High and Low logic states etc. And i have been learning to read and using the Schematics for this board that i requested here on Badcaps forum, from a few months ago, this is such a great place for these.

          I’ve been working on a GA-970A-DS3 (rev. 1.0) that does not post. This motherboard has been my main learning board. I would like share...

          No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
          by Comp_Pro
          Hello all,

          Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

          Tests performed:

          There is no backlight even with a good screen.
          Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
          Fuse F8400 ok
          Current sense resistor R8400 ok
          Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
          Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
          Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
          Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
          I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...
