Re: Viewsonic VP201

Thanks for the replies. I did a little calling around and cant seem to find any pico's locally, so I think I am going to do a little test using the glass frankenfuse method. I have a 2a mini glass fuse I can solder on leads and use that to bridge the blown surface mount fuse. If that works I will go ahead and order the correct pico for a more permanent repair. Either way I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi everyone,

First time posting after spending the last few days reading.

I have what seems to be a reviveable Vp201s. The syptoms are a black display with a steady green power LED that turns amber when signal is removed and back to green with a valid signal.

After reading the few existing threads on the VP201 monitors, I have opened the monitor up, verified that the power supply is outputting 18.25 Volts and on the inverter board confirmed that one of the surface mount fuses passes the full 18.25 Volts and the other fuse only 3.5 Volts. To me this...
