Re: Dell 2007WFP Constant On/Off

I haven't. but I haven't had time, Ive been busy with christmas, then on business trips, then my hdd crashed and I had to make that the priority to recover. (which was successful!!)

I still need to reflow more components :S

Re: Dell 2007WFP Constant On/Off

hey Dumpystig. Just to make sure Im on the same page, my definition of reflow is just to heat the existing solder on a pad until its melted, and then allow it to cool again. hoping that if there was a poor contact, it will be fixed.

If thats about right, then I reflowed all the chunky components, and replaced all the caps. on the power board.

no change.

Re: Dell 2007WFP Constant On/Off

Thanks for your suggestions, upon visual inspection, nothing looks bad. the caps all look healthy and so do the solder points. but Ill start with klkmaliks suggestion.

I read through dumpystigs post, but what I got out of it was that you changed all the caps, and then re-soldered all the joints and it worked. Im not as practiced at soldering as many of you are and am concerned I'll do more damage than good but Im gonna try.

PS: I took pictures and then realized I could probably just refer to the ones already on this thread....

Re: Dell 2007WFP Constant On/Off

Hi, this sounds EXACTLY like my problem with the same monitor.
I can say for sure that its Power that keeps cutting in and out. the power LED does not go orange, it goes from green to off, it cycles like this over and over. approximately 30 seconds On, then 5 minutes off. splashes the DELL logo, and we start all over again.

it looks like nothing has happened with this post lately. I'd like help!!
