Re: Screen completely grey but now image

The plastic cover of the T-CON board has been cut in order to access it. The ribbon bonding is intact, nothing damaged there.

I've messured the voltage before and after the fuse and I get 5,29 volt in front of it and 0 Volt after. That was a good tip!
So it this seems to be blown (although no damage is visible).

What would you recommend as next troubleshoot step? Insert a new fuse and see what happens?
Or just by-pass the fuse with a copper wire (and possible fry the rest of the parts)?
Not...

Had some issues attaching large files.
Just uploaded them as rar file (sorry, large zip files not allowed :-))
The fuse looks ok. I'll go look for the multimeter, see if that can help :-D

Re: Screen completely grey but now image

I've just swapped the power and controller board from a working monitor and the image is still grey.
The boards from the grey screen do power on the other screen so the boards are fine.

The issue seems to be in the screen or the board which is on the screen (I believe you call this the T-CON board).

It could be that there are some resistors missing, there are some empty spaces but no loose parts inside the housing so this could be by design as there are quite a few empty spaces (R13, C6, R20C55, R37, R103,...

Does it glow like this?

It glows exactly like that!
What was the cause there?

I spilled water over my laptop (p.s. I normally don't wreck hardware every day) so currently fixing this first before fixing the monitor
Will continue this weekend!Re: Screen completely grey but now image

I have a Dell 2208WFPt which is showing a completely grey screen.
The status LED is showing green as if a video signal is connected, but it's not.
When I play with the control buttons a bit it goes black and the status LED goes orange as if no signal is connected.

The OSD menu is also not showing up anywhere.

Just found [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10419"]'A guide on how to troubleshoot 2 seconds to black'[/URL] and will try this too except the tests with power on.

I'm also trying to get a working 2208WFPt...
