Re: Dell 2709w No power



Allright. Not sure if I'm using this multimeter right or if the circuit is doing what it should be doing, but I'm not getting a constant reading after removing the capacitor and measuring over its pads on the circuit board. It's starting at around 15-20 MOhms and keeps going down. I saw it go down to 50 KOhm then it started to go back up again. :/

EDIT: If I leave it be for a while and then measure again I get 172 kOhm....

Re: Dell 2709w No power

Hi gang! I'm new to this forum and quite the rookie when it comes to repairing electronics. I've fixed some screens known for using bad capacitors in the past and now I'm faced with a larger obstacle: this screen. I picked it up in broken condition for $5. I have no information about how the monitor broke or in what way it started failing. I bought it broken and I get no response from the screen what so ever. I fear the previous owner might've damaged the power button in anger as it came off easily and I saw a piece of plastic was missing. That's a later...
