Re: HP W22 lights up then goes dark.

After reading the last post I decided to do the same test. I moved the pink and blue wires from the top P855 and P854 and pluged them in to the bottom P853 and P852 leaving the P855 and P854 empty and it lit up for a sec. Then I moved the pink and blue wires from the bottom P853 and P852 and pluged them in to the top P855 and P854 leaving the P853 and P852 empty and it did NOT lit up. Looks like the PCB is fine but the CFL Tube on the bottom is bad. Not what I wanted to find out...

Re: Dell E172fpb

I too have this monitor with the flashing LED. I replaced the trannies with ones that I bought off ebay and resoldered about half the board and the monitor has been working now for about a month.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the good info here.

I have a HP W22 LCD monitor that when you first turn it on the screen lights up and you can see the test screen message. After about .5 - 1 sec it goes dim. You can still see the image but it is very dim. In the past I have been able to get it to work by turning it on and off but now it just stays dim after that first glimps. Looks like it is a backlite or inverter problem but looking for some guidence if anybody has had simular problems with this kind of failure? Any help would be appreciated.
