Re: HP 1955 Monitor Repair Guide

I will go through all of his steps when I get home from work and have the board in front of me again. However I don't remember the fuse to have any visible damage, along with before I tore the monitor apart the back light would flash on for about 1-2 seconds at startup before turning off, so according to Krankenshaft's post "wouldn't even get a backlight flash" had the fuse been blown, makes me think that it survived, however I am unsure how to fully check it besides for just visually.

Re: HP 1955 Monitor Repair Guide

I tested the transistors with a diode test on with my multimeter test attached and found the transistors near the center of the board (Q815 and Q816 on A02.A00) were shorted. So I will plan to replace those along with the FTE. Is there anything else I should check before I purchase these parts

Re: HP 1955 Monitor Repair Guide

I also have come across the same monitor, and I believe I have the same severity as Krankenshaft's second case. I will attach the pictures and maybe people can point stuff out. It is obvious that the FTE is just ruined, and I am unsure about the transistors however they don't look good. What else should I worry about or test? How should I test the transistors to see if they are performing as expected with the blown FTE? I want to know what parts to order so I can add them all in one order....
