Re: Gateway 24" LCD Model LP2407

Thanks mom ... ordered Panasonic FM's and Nichi PW's. Replacing all the Su'scons on the processor/input board too. I'll lay the upper caps over (above uppermost heat sink where they were 125degC's originally), get them out of the main stream of hot air. I'm a little skeptical that this is going to fix it but it does eliminate a variable ... and it has worked for others. I see those 06xx(M) numbers are date stamps apparently.

Re: Gateway 24" LCD Model LP2407

Got them thru Warren Electronics (vs RadioShack) ... seem to be good ones (well ... Xicon, KME, San Ching, Jamicon and I heard San Ching makes nice Rolexes). My cap part numbers are in the 600's(M) vs fadec's 700's(M). I found radial 125degC's (Vishay's) in the capacitance and voltage I need, but they are not is stock from DigiKey (the 105degC Panasonics are in stock). Anyone know typical lead time when ordering non-stock items from them?

Re: Gateway 24" LCD Model LP2407

I too, have a Gateway FPD2485 (LP2407) 24'er (blt Nov 2006). Mine was working fine with no indication of problems when the screen went black, never to come back on again. Monitor startup with nothing connected has the normal Gateway sound, and the panel lights on right behave normally, just no picture. No burnt electronic smell either when it failed, btw. Per previous posts, I checked PS and Inverter. The Inverter's electrolytics were bulged (C1 & C3), and 3 of the PS's were too (C869, C870, and C865). Fuses fine on both boards.
