Re: ViewSonic VP201b

Sorry I may have not been too clear about that. Going by your picture (2) F1 or the one on the left of the image is dead. Using a volt meter I was not able to get any signal through it. Since it's a fuse, I suppose that means it's burned correct?

Now if thats the case, and it is indeed burned doesn't that mean there's an issue elsewhere and the fuse just saved the board?

I'll check the voltages on the other caps once I get home tonight.

But -- there is a green light on the front of the monitor. It does stay on, but...

Re: ViewSonic VP201b

Well, sorry for the delay, I kept forgetting the Digicam at home. I ended up taking these pics with the cell phone. So I guess the quality isn't that good.

Here are things I've noticed:
If you look at pic #1, J2 [[COLOR=Red]Edit: Looking back at it, it may be F1 not J2[/COLOR]] (South of the Major Connection Cable) does not conduct electricity through it. In other words, the fuse you told me to look at (thank you btw) doesn't work. That fuse, I believe is dead, so I'll need to get a replacement for it. Might you know what kind of replacement...

Oh you guys are awesome. I'm secretly sneaking onto this website to check on the post at work so I'll send you some pics and replies when I get home.

In advance, and as always, thanks for your replies and help

Hi All,

First time posting here so be gentle.

I have what seems to be a now deceased Vp201b. I really enjoyed this monitor and would like to bring it back from the dead if possible. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the issue is in the inverter. I have the following questions:

If not, and is in the back light does anyone know where I can get any information on replacing those?

I can't seem to see anything, but it could be *my* eyes. I'm fairly sure it's the inverter but is there's some sure sign showing me? This inverter I have here...
