Re: Asus UX32VD LCD No Backlight Troubleshooting Notes

Hello All

Just a follow up regarding my repair.

I was right, both the Ferrite Beads were blown (incinerated ). See the pictures...I provided a before and after.

I guess it would have been obvious had I taken the computer apart to begin with; but one thing I have learned is to do what you can using a meter first...take apart and fix once.

Please note to take a look at the taped area below the mother board...you my need to clean up and patch the taped area. I had to repair mine with a piece of Kapton tape.

I purchased the following parts from Mouser to do the repair:

• BLM18PG121SN1D (0603, 120OHM @ 100MHZ, FERRITE BEAD)
  
• CC0603KRX5R8BB105 (0603, 1UF CAP)...just in case

I would be more than happy to send some of my extras out to the fellow members of this forum free of charge pending you have the same issue AND that you pay for the shipping cost...my thanks for helping me fix my computer

I had no issues with breaking the computer down to make the repair...but remember I have the right equipment and experience...

Regards
