Dell W2600 LCD TV/Monitor - sorry if this is the wrong place, but supposedly this item is a TV first, monitor second. Before we start, I know this model has had a recall and that it's plagued with numerous amounts of problems, from the power supply to the everything else. I know some about electronics, but not much, I'm more computer software and hardware.
The initial symptom was no picture. Powered on, audio worked, blue power light came on, no video. Upon inspection I found the power connector (sorry if that's the wrong terminology) that goes from the LCD to the I think power board, to have black and brown residue from overheating. When I wiggle it slightly, the picture is restored, and after only minutes of being on, I think I smell the connector shorting/burning again (could be my imagination tho) but the connector is very warm to the touch after just minutes of being on.
In conclusion, my first question is, what is that connector actually called so I can be more knowledgeable. Second, where would I find this part number and or could it be a generic part. Third, any diagnostic tips for me to preform would be appreciated. I have access to certain tools, and I would try anything if able to. I have not done any diagnostics, just what I've seen smelt and felt. Ok I guess we can start from there, sorry for the picture, I can't find the cord to my digital camera, I will shortly and post better pics, this picture is from my phone with no flash, those are not shadows on the connector, the borwn/black is the burn/short from overheating (I think). Thanks everyone.
