Re: DELL 2405fpw

Update! I did some further checking, and found a webpage by a guy who offers a repair service for these monitors. He gave a couple of tips of what voltages to expect at various points, and that led me to find that the 19V rail fuse F701 had blown! So, I jumpered over it with a 5A glass fuse to test, and when I turned it on I got the test pattern!

I didn't have a 5A slow-blow through-hole fuse like was on there (and didn't want to wait for yet another digikey order) so I instead moved the 5A fuse from the 7V rail (F702) over there, and then replaced...

Re: DELL 2405fpw

I am having a similar problem to those on this thread and wonder if someone can point me in the right direction.

It started with a high pitched noise that had lasted for a couple months. I decided to re-cap the power supply, but the very day the caps arrived in the mail, the monitor suddenly went blank. Backlight was still on, but the LCD display "drained" quickly (faded to black starting at top of screen and working down).

I found that D19 had overheated and lifted the trace off the board, and Q1 was shorted. I also checked...
