I have the same symptoms as Sparrow-- but even after reading all the material here, no luck understanding. Power supply board appears to be good. later posts mention the heat gun solution, might try that next.

I"m an electrical engineer, but not a great technician.. workmanship issues.

bicycle's schematic is helpful, but my board might be slightly different, u601 is a NCP1203 for instance. An odd note- -D608 is missing, but so is the same diode on Sparrow's pictures. The schematic doesn't show CN702 which...

Re: Dell 2408WFPb / 2408WFP - No Power

Seemed like the voltages were OK, symptom was-- plug power cord in and the power LED might flash for 1/2 second, but then stayed off and would not power on.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, I'm a new member... Found the forum by google search for a particular problem. I'm an electrical engineer mostly retired with long experience in the test and measurement field, specifically telephone test equipment. retired but still doing a little consulting. Before telephony worked for NASA in Clear Lake in the early 70's.
I like fixing things and HATE throwing away repairable items.
