Re: Dell E172fpb

Hi All,

I've fixed about 5 of these monitors now, a mix of 172's and 173's, using the information on this thread.

The first one I just replaced the two transistors that had failed. The monitor worked for about a week then fizzed and reverted the the original problem. Since then I have also reflowed all the solder around the section of the board with heat marks and both sets of transformers. And, touch wood, none have failed since. Therefore from my experience the problem must be due to bad joints in that section of the board.
