Re: Open and closed case...Envision TFT1780, Funny Static



Cracked the case myself! pat pat on my back however, there are no bad caps that I can find and the power supply is an external brick supply that appears to be working fine according to my meter.

The monitor is acting goofy...When awakened from a "sleep" the monitor has a bunch of "staticky wavey lines", it lasts for maybe 3-5 minutes then it works fine until the next time it goes to sleep. The monitor stays on 24/7 because the environment demands that it be. Thanks in advance...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I am Hammertime from AZ and am a newbie to this forum. I have found the pleasure and satisfaction in repairing monitors and computers (Macs) and have a 2 "very sick" plasma TV's in the garage right now, waiting to get their antibiotics soon...I am trying to learn a little something from everyone who is willing to share, nicely, and teach REALLY green people like me how to save a few bux and learn a great skill in the process. Glad to have found this place! It's 70 degrees in AZ in January...what's it like where you...

I have just come across this forum and am amazed and the level of expertise and help. You guys know your stuff! I am not a newbie but am a novice at the caps game and am having a heck of a time cracking the case on my Envision 1780 open. I have all of the screws out with the exception of the two small one holding the stand on the back. I have removed the white faceplate but cannot get to the boards. Can anyone please tell me how to open this thing up and get to the meat and potatoes of my Envision TFT1780. Thanks in advance!
