Re: Dell W1700 LCD Rev00

I went to my local shops and they did not have the exact caps but he did give me a normal fuse, not SMD. It was a pico fuse so I went ahead and removed the old SMD fuse, put two leads in then my new fuse on the leads. Put it all back together and believe it or not it has been working now for a few months without a problem. Again, I did not replace the caps, just put a random fuse that an electronics specialist gave me

what is dvm? Digital volt meter?

I have one but I am confused how that will help me. The guy at my local electronics store gave me two pico fuses and said that I should just put one of them in place of the fuse thats blown. I am going to do it, I really don't have anything to lose. No one has the caps rated at 220uf, 25v, 105 degrees. They had a 35 volt but no 25. I am just going to try to replace the fuse and see what happens. I might even just short it out all together. I will try the pico fuse he gave me first.

Here is the best picture I could get of the fuses, I scanned them at 1200dpi



How do I even go about replacing this fuse? I wouldn't have a clue how to, or even what size. Would it be a better idea for me to just get a fuse thats not a...

I have the same problem as many of you have described. I can turn the TV on and it will show a picture for about a second and then the picture just goes black. The light stays green but no picture. The sound also works fine. I went ahead and took out the backlight inverter but I dont know exactly what needs to be replaced. I also dont know where to buy the replacement parts either. Here is a picture of the board.



Is it the big green caps in the center of the board?

One more thing, where are the fuses that...
