Re: Syncmaster 2443BW power supply pinout question

It worked!
And the brightness control seems to work too!

Thank you so much for your assistance R_J!...

Re: Syncmaster 2443BW power supply pinout question

The main board uses B-dim on pin 1 and A-dim on pin 8.

Thanks! I'll try tomorrow morning and report!

Re: Syncmaster 2443BW power supply pinout question

I see! So both are used to control the dimming of the backlight.
In this case if the Syncmaster 2443BW exepects an A-Dim pin but I connect the DCR one of the spare board what will be the result?

Hello!
I have an old Syncmaster 2443BW laying around since forever with a broken power supply, and being a noob in this I decided to replace it.
I have bought from Ebay a spare second hand power supply listed as compatible but it has some different pins on the connector.

I've attached two photos.

My question is what's the difference between the DCR pin and the A-Dim one?
Searching around on the internet I found out that the A-Dim pin stands for Analog Dimming Pin but apart from that I have no idea what is its purpose....
