Re: Gateway FPD2485W Problem [Video]
I suspect the power supply is fine as the monitor is actually getting power. Your problem is a discrete/logic issue.
Could you take a pic of the board that all the connectors (DVI, D-SUB, etc.) plug into?Re: Gateway FPD2485W Problem [Video]

Re: Gateway FPD2485W Problem [Video]
Does it display the Gateway logo when you hit power? Or does it go straight to the panel self-test?Re: Gateway FPD2485W Problem [Video]

Re: Gateway FPD2185W
There are many good points, along with many poor ones to this link. While I agree with Canadian stringent BW caps & the fact that offsite hosting comes and goes, I cannot sympathize for slow loading and small screens.
Inline-posting (or lack thereof) is not stated anywhere in the rules or the FAQ. Can be confusing for new users here, no? If the forum rules/FAQ is where new members go for a concrete starting point for etiquette in a forum, it is poorly written and needs to be updated.
Beyond that, effective websites...Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2185W
At first yes, but the resizing fixes the alignment after the page loads...unless your screen resolution is something ridiculous like 480x320 of course. Perhaps if badcaps was hosted on an internet connection with some decent speed that doesn't make me wait minutes for attachments and allows me to browse the forum with ease, then perhaps I wouldn't have opted to do that first.
Heck, I'm doing the site a service by using bandwidth I paid for instead of wasting bandwidth paid for by the site.
I will...Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2185W
Just finished disassembling my LCD panel. You wanna see bad CCFL's? Have a look at the top bank:
The other side:
Here are the connections on each side:
The bottom bank was not so bad, but will probably be replaced anyway:
The other side:
Looks like I found the problem in my monitor. Will be ordering new CCFL's soon. The question is, do those wires looks good? They do seem a little charred.Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2185W
Okay, so I recapped my board with Panasonic FC caps, and used Panasonic EE for the big filter caps. No change, except it displays a picture for maybe 1 second longer depending on how temperamental it's feeling.
Here is the bottom of the board showing the transistors:
And here are the multimeter measurements of said transistors. They were measured with the 20k range:
[CODE]Pin - 1-2 | 1-3 | 2-3

U301 OL 4.79k OL
U302 OL OL OL
U304...Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2185W
Chiming in here as a first timer with the same problem, except my 2185's on time varies between 2 seconds and 5 seconds. I get a clear picture, but the panel eventually shuts off. Recapped the board to no effect. I have the 4 driver transistors sitting on my desk that I ordered with my digi-key capacitor order that I haven't installed yet because I have very little experience with surface-mount style components. The caps were easy because they're all through-hole....Leave a comment:
