    RCA RTU5540-D has flickering pixels on entire right side of display.

    TL;DR: Is one side of the display showing flickering full brightness r g or b subpixels in a sparse arrangement likely to be a defective secondary board?

    Model: RCA RTU5540-D
    Problem: The right half of the display has pixels flickering, it seems like random subpixels (red, green, or blue) are being turned on at full brightness briefly.

    I have tried reseating and switching the two ribbon cables coming from the secondary board to no avail, but I did confirm that each one corresponds to 1 half of the display. I considered trying to drive the right half of the display from the output to the left half of the board but the pinout of the cables appears to reverse depending on the side making this impossible.

    I am hoping that the issue can be fixed by replacing the secondary board, there appear to be replacements available relatively affordably but the main board is very expensive and availability is questionable. Is this problem likely caused by the secondary board? Is it possible that the problem is with the panel or the main board?

    Is there a way for me to test to see which component has the problem before making the purchase?

    Here is the replacement I am considering purchasing.

    Here is a video
    Here is a picture of the secondary board:

    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...

    Slight flickering and horizontal stripes on the right side - VX24AH Asus
    by WillHoh
    Hi, I have an Asus VX24AH monitor that suddenly went black and didn't display a logo when I switched it on. After extensive research (also thanks to this forum) I was able to get it to show a picture by disconnecting the STV (VSTB1). Unfortunately, the right side now shows horizontal stripes and it looks like every 2nd pixel row is missing.
    Can anyone help me with this? Can it still be saved? I would also appreciate links and references to literature or other information.

    Before disconnecting, the test point of VSTA1 and VSTB1 only measured 30 ohms. I therefore disconnected...

    KingWin ABT-650MM 650 Watt ATX PSU [PCB: SW8835REV:A]
    by momaka
    For today's thread, I have a KingWin ABT-650MM ATX PSU. Official web page with the PSU specs is still up and can be found here:
    http://www.rmac.kingwin.com/products.../abt_650MM.asp

    I just can't help it when I see a broken / for parts PSU on eBay that's listed for cheap and looks at least somewhat interesting. Well, OK, I won't lie – on the outside, this PSU looks anything but interesting. It's a plain gray box with colorful “spaghetti cables”.




    What mostly drew me into buying it is its 2x PCI-E power connectors...

    Magnum IA.100 Amplifier Switches on, No Output, Possible Input Side fault?
    by flibidy
    I have here a Magnum IA.100 which belongs to my parents.



    The unit powers on & when the relay kicks in, you get a pop from the speakers (this might sound weird but is usual behavior for this amp). However, you get nothing coming through it from any of the inputs & no pops and crackls from any of the controls.


    Because of the sound from the speaker when the amp turns on I have assumed that the output section probably works but I could be wrong & I'm not sure how to test that side of things further.


    What Ive done........

    Sharp LC70LE747 Flickering - darkening gradually to the right side
    by SmartSarah
    Dear,

    I can not pinpoint the following problem on my Sharp TV LC70LE747E.
    While the left side of the screen is not affected at all the right side of the screen gradually fades to a kind of dark. I can best describe this darkness like a totally worn out CRT display or a gamma correction totally out of range. This darkness flickers like a flame, a dark one tough.
    Sometimes when I restart the TV it disappears for a while.
    The problem worsened over time the last few months.

    I've replaced the t-con module without success. The problem remains.
