Re: Hannspree HF237

ITS ALIVE! Yes its working and there is no one here to share this with

Broke a couple ccfls in the process of stuffing the ccfls into silicone/rubber end insulators! I am typically very careful but I decided to do this when I was pretty tired. Note to self don't start these projects at the end of the day. Luckly there were 4 in total and I only need to replace 2.

That and I had to test and clean some minute dust which was between some of the man diffuser layers between the backlight reflector and the lcd panel that was causing...

Going to go ahead with the ebay purchase. Will post back when get this all fixed... its probably going to be a while because shipping is from china an it looks it going to take close to a month!!!

Re: Hannspree HF237

No activity here in a while but heres my experience.

The same issue: Backlight turn on for a 1 second then goes out. I heard the characteristic buzzing sound at power on when I listened carefully, so right at the start I suspected the ccfls or the connections at the ccfls. Caps looked fine.

Sure enough 2 of the 4 ccfls where broken (bottom 2). From my measurements the size of the tubes are Dia 2.4mm x 525 mm long. Can someone confirm that?

Also very hard to keep the 23" lcd panel layers completely dust free. Doing...
