Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

Alrighty..,

Thanks for the input once again..!!



=> Ok.., good suggestion to try another lamp plug into that board output.., I did that.., and that output [U]did[/U] light the other lamp. I also did try the lamp plug that didn't work into a different output.., and [U]it didn't work[/U] in the other known good output.., so it would appear that it is that one lamp that is the issue.



=> Ok.., clearity.., sorry.., here is how I should have worded it.., I plugged the CCFL plugs...

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

Ok..,

I have another Samsung monitor.., a 20".., I didn't really want to use it.., but decided to proceed.., so I plugged the CCFL plugs of the 226BW.., into the 20" panel.., and the screen came on full and bright.., I turned it off after @ 20 seconds. I turned it on a few more times and it remained on steady until I turned it off.

Also.., before doing the above.., I unplugged all four CCFL plugs on the 226BW.., then re-connected one plug at a time and turned the power on.., to test if a lamp would come on..,...

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

Hello..,

Thanks for your replies..!

Jasgriff.., I have a few 17" monitors that I could disassemble.., do the spare CCFL's have to be the same size.., or can I use one of my 17" units..?

I have repaired two other monitors with the Bursting Caps issue and they both work great.., I guess this unit has another challenge.

selldoor.., thanks for the link to the guide.., I will have a look at that today.


.... info is much appreciated..!!

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

Hello..,

I have a 226BW.., the screen did not illuminate but was working as you can see the desktop if you put a flashlight up to the screen. The power light came on.., but the screen did not. I removed the back and found the usual bursting caps.., both 820's.., so I purchased new caps and replaced these two first. I re-assembled.., now the screen came on after a second or two.., but the screen only stayed on for a second or two.., then went black. So I then replaced the remaining caps.., but still have the same problem.., screen comes...
