dell 2000fp monitor

[rquig]

I could use some advice on what to do next in trouble shooting the dell 2000fp monitor.

symptoms: When power is applied I get a white flash on the screen and then it goes blank.

What I have done: I tried to get a response from the brightness or contrast buttons -- Nothing. I removed case and tried to find a obvious component failure or burned spot -- nothing. I checked the f1 fuse -- It checked good.

I am not sure where to go for the next step, help would be appreciated.

There is an older thread started on the monitor you're working on, and I think it might be similar problem as you have.
This thread might help

Thank you I have looked at that thred and it is similar, infact it is what gave me a starting point. That said, I don't have the same symptomx and I don't have any obvious singns of component failue. I get a white flash for about 2 seconds and then nothing.

There are so many things that can cause what I think you may be talking about.
What are the LEDs doing on the front of the monitor?
Are you sure that the external power supply, can produce the amperage required for the monitor?

Re: dell 2000fp monitor

the video source diode is on and can be changed to select source and the main power supply diode is on and can be turned off and on. everytime the monitor is turned on you can see the white flash. The diodes are both green in color. what amperage should this monitor require? I'm not sure that it has the right power supply.

The specs. of the powersupply needed are usualy on a sticker on the rear of the monitor

Please post some clear focused photos of the entire power supply, top and bottom, since power supplies from different companies were used on this model.

Re: dell 2000fp monitor

Thanks to you focusing my attention on the power I have discovered that the supply amperage is only .3 while the monitor requires 3.5. The voltage is correct.

Yep you need to get the correct power supply.
I have repaired two of these, and I was not happy with the picture the best way I can describe the problem is that it looks like I am looking through a screen door. I don't know if something else is wrong or it's just normal for this monitor.
