Re: Dell monitor
D902 checked out ok. But r902 has 38v in and 28 v out, and r903 has 28v in but only 8mv out....that goes to pin 6 on the chip, so...maybe that resistor is bad, even though it measures the correct resistance of 38k ohms?
connected to the board pin 6 to pin 7 is 11 ohms (the chip)Last edited by cb92; 01-07-2012, 09:04 PM.Comment

Re: Dell monitor
The resistance you got between pins 6 and 7 indicates a short circuit. This, however, does NOT necessarily mean that the ICE2AS01 PWM chip is bad. It could be diode D902, too! You said it measured "OK". But did you test diode D902 out of circuit or in circuit? - it really matters now.
If you tested diode D902 in circuit, then there's no way you'll know whether the ICE2AS01 PWM chip is bad or diode D902 is bad, especially because of the resistance you got (11 Ohms) which is very close to the value of R907. Therefore, you now HAVE TO remove D902 and test it out of circuit. When testing it out of the circuit, you should get a reading only in one direction when using the diode test function. If you get a reading in both directions, IT IS BAD. If diode D902 checks good, then it's definitely the ICE2AS01 PWM chip.
And no, R902 and R903 cannot be bad if they measure proper resistance.Comment

Re: Dell monitor
D902 passed the out of circuit test.
I lifted the leg of r903 to pin 6, and it has about 80 vdc on it disconnected, 8mv connected. Seems like the chip is pulling the circuit down. I pulled the chip, and there is 10 ohms between 6 and 7. 15 ohms fro 7 to 5. 20 ohms from 7 to 3. 7 to 1,4,8 are open.
I'll see if Radio Shack has an ICE2A501. If this is a common chip, I'll get a couple while I'm there.Comment

Re: Dell monitor
A common failure on this power board is the ICE2AS01. It's caused by bad solder joints on the main transformer and duo diode packs (the two packs mounted on the heatsink). Therefore, remember to resolder all the pins on these devices, or you'll be replacing the ICE2AS01 again.
Your best bet for replacing the ICE2AS01 is Ebay, since it's a obsolete chip no longer made by Infineon.Last edited by jetadm123; 01-08-2012, 06:40 PM.Comment

Re: Dell monitor
Thank goodness for E-bay. I'll get the parts to make my optoisolator tester, too. I've been collecting parts as I go.Comment

Re: Dell monitor
Just something else to drive me crazy. Apparently optoisolators come in two sizes, normal and wider. The wider ones won't fit into a chip socket, so I'll modify one* for my tester, and have both sizes on the tester (*chip socket).
Meanwhile, all the optos I ordered from e-bay are probably the small size...luckily a standard one will just fit into the holes a wide one comes from. I sure hope I get a variety in case optos are made with different values. Still learning. Luckily, they are cheap, but it takes forever to get anything in the mail here. Aargh.Comment

Re: Dell monitor
The chips are in, and that was the problem. I put a power supply in from E-bay, the one I fixed is a spare, good for testing 5v and 12v stuff. From this exercise I now have an optoisolator tester (see 'Instructables', "Altoid box optoisolator tester", a little power supply, and a lot of good experience.
Thanks one and all for the help. I now is an expurt.Comment

My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?
My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell... -
I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered... -
Hello everyone,
I have been having some difficulties reviving an old Dell 2408WFPb PC monitor that I received for free. When I first acquired it, the backlights of the display were on but alas no image was showing. After extensive research on the topic, I went ahead and purchased a new t-con board for the monitor. After installing the board, I was then presented with a new screen that was half black and half green (more so black). I have been unable to figure out what to do next as I have limited knowledge of display electronics. Might anyone on this forum have an idea of what may... -
DELL Latitude 5520
MB: South Peak 15 MB (DDR4)
Charging only on one side of usb-c on both ports. I have replaced one of the ports but still the same. Checked for short, nothing is getting hot under thermovision. Usb meter is not coming on one side, on the other is coming on and showing 20V.
Any sugesstions where to look for fault? -
Hello everyone,
I have a Dell U3419W Monitor that has some thin stripes on a part of the screen since Tuesday.
This lines cover about a third of the screen and appear for 2 seconds before disappear for another 2 seconds.
This repeats the whole time. I have not opened the case yet cause I had no time, but will try to fix it on this weekend. For me, it looks like a problem on the TCon... Am I right?
Does someone have seen this before?...
