Re: Philips 15pf5120/28

There is a 2.5A surface mount fuse on the inverter, right under were the wires are attached. It's on the bottom of that board, the beige board in the 2nd pic. I had the same model and problem, and that fixed it, I also replaced the caps.

I didn't know they even sell parts like that, but I wish you luck on replacing it.

You might be able to put the connector like it should be and try hot glue to hold it in place.

Re: novus plastic polish

I have some of this Novus plastic polish, it works great on scratched CD's, DVD's, games but I haven't tried it on LCD's yet. I got this stuff called DISPLEX display polish on ebay awhile back to try on a 15" LCD TV with a deep scratch around the middle of the screen. It worked alright, but it took a lot of the polish and rubbing to make it less noticeable with the TV on, but when it's off you can see a bright area where the top matte layer was removed. Also it was about $8 for the tiny tube, it was 5g which isn't much. This stuff it really made for...

Re: Gateway fpd1975w

It's probably bad caps, 3 I bet. I got one of these and it wouldn't come on, just flashed the power light, I think.
It takes 3 35v 470uf caps, they are actually 25v in it, but I replaced them with 35v ones, and it works great now
This model, and the 17" version are notorious for this problem.
As far as getting the back off, you will have to either use a flat head screwdriver and pop/pry it around the edges, or get a spudger (sp) opening tool, they have plastic and metal ones, the plastic ones are called black sticks by apple....
