Re: Dell E171FP No power

Hi, had a similar problem with an E171FP bought on eBay. On first power up there was a pop from the back of the monitor and a subsequent electrical burning odour. It was going to cost me postage to return to seller with no guarantee of a replacement or money back so decided on repair.

Opened it up and discovered bulging C5 (100uF, 400V, CapXon) and blown 3.15A fuses on power/inverter board. In addition found bulging 220uF, 25V, Teapo on CFL driver board.

Replaced C5 with 47uF, 450V (closest match available from local store)...
