Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

After loosing screen backlighting on my samsung 245B I found one winding of this driver transformer open circuit.

Using epoxy thinners to weaken the notorious goop I was able to tease out the broken wire and solder a thin copper wire from a stripped flexible onto the winding end and back to the post.

Going again!

If you have a signal generator that can produce a 100kHz square wave of a few volts from a 50 ohm output you can put a test winding of say 5 turns on the outside of the existing windings.
