Re: Gateway FPD1730 - black display, green power led

Hi, sorry for resurrecting an old thread. I have a Gateway FPD1730 with the exact same symptoms as the OP (PlainBill), but I will reiterate anyway. Upon plugging in a power source the monitor will turn on for ~2sec before going black. The PWR light will stay green unless I remove the source, if I remove the source after ~30sec. the PWR light will change to amber. I also noticed plugging back in the source will cause the screen to turn back on for ~2sec. When the monitor is black I cannot see a faint image. So far I have replaced...

I have confirmed that it is indeed a CCFL monitor. I'll give your suggestion a try this weekend and report back. Thank you!...

Re: eMachine 19" HDMonitor LE1987



Oh, okay. The only reason I thought it was an LED backlit monitor was due to an "LED Mode: Day/Night" setting in the monitor config screen. I couldn't find much, if any, information about this monitor online.



Pardon my ignorance, but is this a potentially bad thing? Should I always use low-esr caps for inverter boards?



I think what I'll do is leave the brightness and contrast at zero (where it has yet to shut itself off) and heat up a section of the board at a time,...

I hope these pictures are to your liking. Let me know if you need close-ups of a component.

Thank you....

Re: eMachine 19" HDMonitor LE1987



Hi, I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond. I did what you suggested and turned the brightness and contrast down to 25 but it didn't seem to make much of a difference in the length of time the monitor stayed on. However, I went a step further and turned both down to zero and so far (after a couple hours) it has yet to turn itself off. I also discovered its an LED lit monitor and not a CCFL light I had assumed. I hope this information helps, and thanks again for your assistance....

Hello, I'm trying to repair a monitor for a friend and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Here are the symptoms: The backlight will only stay on for 4-5 minutes before going out. Once the lamps turn off, I can get them to turn back on if I power cycle the monitor - but the lamps wont stay on as long as they did from a cold start. Normally just a few seconds after first failure. Also, before the lamps go out the screen will start to flicker. So far I have replaced all the capacitors on the inverter board except two: the 450v 100uF, and a 35v 150uF Lelon. None of the caps...
