Re: Dell 2709w No power

Thanks for info, lalexan! Highly appreciated!

My own problem (literally) got worse on christmas eve! More and more graphics errors appeared which I (wrongly) blamed on my graphics card. These only appeared when the monitor got hot and in the native resolution (1920x1200).

So, I performed another reflow on the 25th of December. Using more flux this time and the heat gun instead of the SMD soldering station.

Well, this time it worked perfectly! No more graphics errors PLUS the power button issue is also fixed!

I also have a 2709WB with the same issue as Neill and ytsoc! I tried to reflow the chip yesterday but the problem remains.

But Neill also offered an interesting alternative:



Any idea if this could actually work? And what value the capacitator would require?

And, deary me, does this monitor get HOT! No wonder there are heat issues!...

Well. The more you get into electronics, the more bad caps will pop up. Literally.

This place has helped me quite a lot in recent weeks and months. Maybe I can help others too.

Be seeing you around!
