I've had issues over the years where this monitor wouldn't display an image consistently, I opened it up last year and found some bulging electrolytic caps on the power supply board, so I replaced the bulging ones and the monitor worked well for about 8 months.

A couple days ago I hooked up my laptop and the monitor failed to display any image at all no matter how many times I tried power cycling the monitor, leaving it off, different devices, video inputs, etc. I didn't even get a "NO SIGNAL" or any of the menus displayed. The blue light buttons on the side light up and...

Re: LP2407 Front Panel Controls Ribbon Cable Replacement Part?



The problem is that the conductors on the ends (1/4" or so) of the cable which plug into the boards are substantially more stiff than the rest of the cable. In order to plug the cable into the boards the pins must be perfectly aligned as the pitch is only 0.5mm! I measured the length of the cable and it is nearly 70 cm. only one end is bad though, so I suppose I could trying splicing it and try soldering these tiny wires if I had only a shorter cable. I appreciate your help, diff.

Re: LP2407 Front Panel Controls Ribbon Cable Replacement Part?



Sorry, my bad. Please see below/attached:


I see some floating around on eBay with the same numbering "CviLux E208903 AWM20706" but they seem to have a different pin pitch on the connector end or are fairly expensive at $15+/each because they've been pulled from old electronics as opposed to from an OEM....

Does anyone know if there's any way (is it available anywhere?) to replace the tiny, delicate ribbon cable that goes to the front panel controls on the Gateway LP2407? One of the pins had lifted off the cable so I very, very carefully bent it back and applied a tiny bit of super glue using a needle to stick the pin back to the cable but upon plugging it in and firing up the monitor I get no power to the front panel controls.

If it's only a couple bucks to replace such a cable I'd rather not go through the hassle of trying to fix this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know where I can find close up and/or high-resolution pictures of the insides of the Gateway 24" model: LP2407 / producet no.: FPD2485WA (partially assembled)? I'm trying to assemble one someone previously disassembled, not sure which screws go where, unfortunately. I believe I have all the screws and parts.

Any help is greatly appreciated. The relevant posts I came across on here didn't have adequately clear pictures to help identify which screws go where.
