Re: Testing a transformer

Sorry about my less than thoughtful first post. My problem seems to be similar or the same as the original poster. Red tint, not as bright, goes off after 5 seconds. Thanks for finding that datasheet Rtech. I will test the mosfets before openning the panel.

off-topic: I had no idea badcaps.net had a forum. I remember when it was just a page showing how to repair motherboards with bad caps. Seems to be a great resource now!

Re: Testing a transformer

I also have this monitor and am having the staying on for 5 seconds then the backlight turning off. Can anyone ID these FETs? (i think that's what the are). I think that's what's bad on mine, as the CCFLs look good.. all white. I replaced all the caps.
edit: just realized stephkre had his CCFLs turned on to see the reddish tint. I never powered it up while the LCD was apart. Man, that this is a pain. I'm guessing that's what it is also.
