Re: Overengineering
Ah, right.
Yeah, it is a very good standard, the plugs/sockets are polarized and are very safe especially compared to the basic plugs used in most of Europe.
The only drawback is the size/shape of the plug - it's very awkward and makes it hard work when packing in a small case for a portable device.Leave a comment:

Hmmm now I'm puzzled - how can you not get the question?
BS1363 is a [B]B[/B]ritish [B]S[/B]tandard. Are you saying that the same plugs/sockets are installed in Australia?Re: Overengineering

Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap
Carefully prise the cap from the board and adhesive - it shouldn't take much effort. Use a blunt piece of wood - ice lolly stick is ideal - to remove adhesive from board. Then desolder the cap and remove it. It's not imperative to use more adhesive on the replacement cap, although I use a hot-glue gun.
The cap you referenced should be fine as a replacement.Leave a comment:

Re: Vestel Main Board 17MB22-2
That'll be the one from a few months ago...? I remember it well
Before you open the bugger try and remember if it had the 'add-on' cap - some do, some don't. May save you opening it up for nothing.
And I'm glad someone understands what I'm after...Leave a comment:

Re: Vestel Main Board 17MB22-2
The board in the pic is not the board I'm working on - I borrowed the pic from another thread. It's purely to illustrate where it is.
My board has the flying lead connected on the back but no cap attached.
When the cap is connected to the board one cap leg (-/+?) is soldered to the flying lead/rear of board. The other cap leg (-/+?) is connected to the board(-)
I simply need to know which cap leg connects to the thro' hole which is highlighted in the pic. So if someone is working on the same board please...Last edited by dumpystig; 03-05-2012, 08:00 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Vestel Main Board 17MB22-2
Thanks, but that's not the problem. This cap was a later (manual) addition to some of these boards. The markings are obvious on the board - within the circular cap footprint the (+) is at the bottom but with no connection. The 'added' cap is connected to the board(-) but I'm not sure if it's the cap(+) or cap(-) that goes to the board(-)Leave a comment:

Vestel Main Board 17MB22-2
Can anyone with this board confirm the capacitor connection highlighted in the attached pic.
The board I'm working on has lost the cap so I need to know the polarity of the connections for replacement.
From the pic I would say the cap(+) goes to board(-), but I need to be certain.... -

Keep your (shitty?) Compaq and spend some of your cash upgrading that to better suit your needs instead of *upgrading* your Lenovo.Leave a comment:

Was your CCFL > LED conversion a kit or a custom mod by yourself? I'm wanting to convert a few Dell monitors that I have.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap
You need to replace and install the 450V cap before going any further with troubleshooting. You may find it was the only fault and your monitor will work fine afterwards.Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway LP2407 Power Board.
Looking at the silkscreen rectangle and the glue within I reckon the (now) vertical cap is a replacement for the original that was horizontal and flat to the board - that would explain the burn on the board and the scorched resistor (which probably isn't damaged) due to the cap doing a nice fizzle.
Edit - In fact from what I can see the cap doesn't look as though it's physically big enough to replace the original, at least judging by the amount of glue and the silkscreen footprint, so may even be a different/incorrect value.Last edited by dumpystig; 01-20-2012, 09:29 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell E248WFP power cycling off/on
The seller lists the numbers for the board, just compare with yours and see if they match.
I also copied his pic and then zoomed in a little, just to do a quick visual comparison.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell E248WFP power cycling off/on
If you detail exactly what happens with your monitor after you press the Power button I can let you know if it's behaving the same as mine was. It may help to give you a more definite pointer to it being the Logic board.Leave a comment:

Re: Dell E248WFP power cycling off/on
eBay - a seller in Canada. I didn't come across a single one anywhere else after tons of searching. Here's a link to the same board up for sale right now -

He's a genuine guy, and I was the only bidder so got it at that price, took about 10 days but I ordered it during the holidays.
After a lot of testing and cap replacements on the PSU and Logic boards I finally took an educated guess and put the fault down to a more...Last edited by dumpystig; 01-19-2012, 05:19 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50 Plasma donated to me.
2nd pic, board @ top left. A 'couple' of joints won't suffice. Re-flow all the larger, heavier joints starting from the brown and blue wires that enter the board @ bottom left, follow the traces from there re-flowing as you go, and make sure you do both sides of the transformers. When re-flowing add a tiny amount of new solder to each joint.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung 50 Plasma donated to me.
For starters I would be looking for dry joints on the PSU. Quick, simple and no cost
