    Dell W3706MC - P/S or Video Controller

    So far, not so good. The television is a Dell W3706MC who's image is beyond snowy/noisy.

    Symptoms:
    - After being unplugged for several hours, it takes a very long time to turn on
    - Once on, it will random turn off after a short period of time... usually takes 2 or 3 times of turning off and on for it to finally be on and stay on
    - screen image (no matter the source- including menus) is degraded
    - upon first displaying an image/menu, it is somewhat readable but after a half second it becomes significantly worse ... change image/menu again, it is somewhat readable then becomes worse again after a half second ....etc.

    Maybe a bad power supply? Maybe a bad main controller? I really did look over all the caps and see no sign of any visually bad ones. Anyone have any insight into these symptoms? My first guess was controller board but the hard time starting up and random turning off for the first couple times makes me thing power related. Hopefully it's a P/S issue because for the life of me I can not find a replacement controller module for this silly thing! Appreciated!

      Can you post clear focused top down view pictures of all your boards including an "overall" one?
      --- begin sig file ---

      If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

      We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

      Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

          Hi.
          I kindly ask you to help me solve the problem.
          Dell Precision 5510, motherboard AAM00 LA-C361P Rev:2.0
          The board turns on, there is no image.
          Read more. When the power supply is connected, the front panel indicators light up briefly.
          When you press the power button, the button indicator lights up. The board works
          there is no image, there is no matrix initialization, there is no image on HDMI.
          When turned on, the fans do not spin, but when they warm up they start spinning.
          When you turn off the button, the fans spin up to full speed for a short...

          Gpu DELL OEM RTX3080 No video
          by PacoGT
          Hello friends, I have a question. They brought me this video card, a DELL RTX 3080. They told me that it fell and the impact no longer produced video.
          When trying it, it's as if it wanted to give video but in the end nothing, I already checked voltages etc. everything is as it should, but without video
          I suppose it could be a bios problem but since sometimes they don't tell you everything, I've searched for the bios everywhere but without success
          I can't find a backup or something to try to reprogram bios and see if it's the fault, could you help me maybe someone has one that...

          Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
          by Bowline
          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...

          The screen polarises,no backlight,no image,only black screen,tried another screen,the same,so there is no backlight,but there should be an image when i shine a lamp behind the screen,but there is none...only dark screen...when screen is connected and i press F8 to turn the image over to the external monitor, the external monitor gets coloured bars ,but when i disconnect the cable from the EDP ,the HDMI picture is good...What could be the problem? I don't have another edp cable, but i measured it with meter and it comes out good...i am baffled......

          Seeking Dell G15 Motherboard ICs for Embedded LED Controller (UEL1 and UEL2)
          by NotEnough
          Hello everyone,




          I'm working on a repair for my Dell G15 motherboard (model GDL5L) and need two specific ICs to restore the functionality of the Embedded LED Controller (ELC). The missing components are labeled as UEL1 and UEL2 in the schematic, and they're both critical for LED control and system signaling. Here are the details:




          1. UEL1

          • Part Number: SA0000AWJ70

          • Model: STM32F070CBT6TR_LQFP48_7X7

          • Function: This microcontroller manages system signaling, power management, and SPI...
