Re: acer AL2416w HELP

Tested all my power supply voltages, and according to the service manuals specs, they are checking out. Only thing that I can think of, are possibly some bad caps on the logic board is causing it to go into protection mode, or its possibly overheating... I am running it with the metal shield and back cover removed, and am running my usual benchmark that likes to cause the issue. I haven't had a shutdown once yet, and its been running about 20 minutes so far.

Re: acer AL2416w HELP

Yes I used good quality low ESR caps for the job, and I have checked the solder joints, fuses, and cables over a few times now, but to update everyone, there has been no progress on this one yet. It doesn't seem like its gotten any worse, but it still gets me killed every time I'm trying to play a game, which is very frustrating. I have recently retired it, until I can sort out whats going on with it... I may just have to break down, crack it back open and do some more testing!!!

Re: acer AL2416w HELP

Found a personally known to be faulty G-LUXON 10v 1000uf cap, as well as a CAPXON 50v220uf cap that I always question, since I have seen hundreds of these dang things go bad in monitors, and replaced them.They weren't blown, but I figured they might be on their way out. Same problem... Still shutting off when there's a lot of movement on screen- browsing the web and desktop is fine- it hasn't shut off in at least 20 minutes of sitting here surfing the net, but here is what it does when I'm gaming or benchmarking.

Re: acer AL2416w HELP

I am also having this problem with my Acer AL2416W monitor, originally had a shorted FET and popped caps on the inverter board and would not turn on. I have already replaced the shorted FET's and all the capacitors on the inverter board. It seems like a power supply issue, as it does turn off and then back on immediately. Usually does it most often when there is a lot of movement on screen. (GPU benchmarking and gaming) Might just start recapping the power supply and see what happens.

Re: Dell E172fpb

I have a Dell 173fpb and a Dell 153fpb that both have the same problem, I have replaced the 6 transistors and the fuse on both, and now when I power them up, the secondary pin on one of the inverter transformers short to the ground pin, on both monitors. I have tried disconnecting the leads to the lamps of the display and they still smoke. Is this indicative of shorted transformers? Here is a picture to help explain the issue, but it isn't the best quality......
