Re: Gateway FPD2485W 24" LCD Fuse Blown, caps the cause?
Oh, and one more thing,
Looking back on older replies from a few days back, I finally learned what mosfets were.
After doing some tests, I Think mine are bad too. Where do I get replacements and how do I know which ones to get? Do any of you know what they're specs are and what they should be testing at?

Re: Gateway FPD2485W 24" LCD Fuse Blown, caps the cause?
oooooooookay, I discovered something today that might be a problem.
So I replaced the fuse, it didn't fix the main issue, though it's behaving how it should now (the old fuse would fiz out after a while)
So I'm poking around the power board while it's plugged in and I noticed something.
The Big Capacitor in the center of the power board, the unkown one I don't know the uF or voltage for, it overloads when you first plug the power cord in. My multimeter will read OL for a few...Leave a comment:

Well I tested both of them on the logic board. It's hard to be delicate enough to not zap yourself while there's power running through the whole thing ><
The one by the touch panel ribbon cable port was odd. From the center pin to the pin on the left, it read 3.3 v. but from center to RIGHT, it read -1.95... So i switch, red on right, black on center. Still, but positive 1.95.
As for one near the center of the logic board, it was reversed. Center to left was...Leave a comment:

How do I know if it's bad? Does it need to have power moving THROUGH it when i test it? Sorry, it's been 8 years since I used a multimeter. I don't remember how these things work.....Leave a comment:

However, I forgot to pay attention to the file size. Sorry.
I left the images HUGE this time so you can see it up close. Sorry if that's a problem.

Well, my computer is retarded I suppose, since I've tried 3 different web browsers and different file extensions and it STILL won't work. Yes, the images are smaller than 2000x2000px So I'm uploading them to a third party and will link them as I go along.
I've had this monitor for well over a year now, and it's always been the same since I got it. I can get it to work, IF the video source is on and feeding it, AND if i can plug it just right. I used to have to plug the cord in the back of the monitor...Leave a comment:

Ok, I'm retarded. I don't know how to post pictures on here. I've tried that attachment thingy below the reply box, but it's not working for me at all.. Any help?Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2485W 24" LCD Fuse Blown, caps the cause?
I get power. After about an hour of sitting there, it'll power up and whatever video source is currently feeding it is what comes up. But the panel control on the side doesn't work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It's extremely temperamental. I have it working somewhat right now, but it'd be nice to be secure in knowing that i can switch sources without consequence.
Forgive me, you're going to have to talk a bit stupider for me. A lot of the terms you're using I don't know what they are, what...Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2485W 24" LCD Fuse Blown, caps the cause?
I've been looking around the internet for weeks and still haven't found a solution. This, however seems closest to what I'm dealing with.
When I plug the cord into the power supply, theres a sound like one of the capacitors is dumping it's charge. I've replaced all the other ones BUT the big one in the middle of the board. I'm having trouble getting it OFF the board (power board) cause the glue that's holding it down, so I don't know what it's charge is to buy a proper replacement....Leave a comment:
