Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
Retiredcaps,
You never replied to my post reply, since my last conversation hasn't gone as i would have liked. I discovered that i used less than good caps, instead i contacted digikey/Panasonic caps and requested the ones that i needed and i replaced them all. Unfortunately, while i can get it come on all the LEDS no screen, it is black and stays black and the on LED goes to orange after some time. I wish to continue trying to fix this monitor, however iam lost and not sure which way to go at this stage. Any helpful...

Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
I dont recall as i purchased them online through one of the links provided on your post in which one of the badcaps guys informed me to follow and look at in regards to and before i had changed them out.

Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
Thanks for the reply, i checked my computer with another monitor and it worked fine. I didnt try the monitor on another computer as it was easier to try another monitor with the tower. Do you think i should at least try it?

Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
Well, it worked until yesterday and now it comes on with the blue lights and goes off shortly after with no signal going orange. I dont know what else it could be, it worked for a month and now iam in the same boat, any suggestions would be helpful.Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
Greetings all,
I have successfully changed out all the damaged capacitors and replaced them all and the Monitor is once again working. Ill update in a few days if anything comes up, but i suspect that nothing will.
Thank you all so much!!!!!

Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
I was afraid of that, any good information or good pics in putting it back on? It seemed as if there is no place to place it, as it seems as it was just stuck to the lead. I would appreciate anything you can help with....Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
Thank you so much for replying, it is much appreciated and your explanation. As well, when i took the monitor case apart it had pulled the sensor wire off of the case wire, how is the best way to reattached? Iam heading to my inlaws to use a meter on them. Give update soon...Leave a comment:

Re: Gateway FPD2485W | 2 second to Dark
Not a problem, when i boot up my PC in the morning it is coming up from being asleep. The PC comes up fine, i wait a few secs to wait for the PC to boot up, then i hit the power button. At which time all the LED lights come on as normal when turning on the monitor. Within a few secs, the logo appears, and goes off, while all the LED lights go out, except the menu button and the power button but that is normal. So i wait a few seconds and try and again and it does the same thing, instead this morning i unplugged it to bring...Leave a comment:
