Re: Dell 1704FPT

Gentlemen:

I was asked to fix a dell 1704FTP monitor. When powered up the green light comes on and is steady. There is not any video, not even for a few seconds (2 second to death issue is not applicable) I disassembled and the power supply board looks fine. Caps are not expanded and R125 looks fine. The only thing I noted was a funny bubble on the side of a blue trimmer (VR801 I think), but not sure that is a problem.

I think may be a video problem. There was a screw missing that tells me it was opened before. Anyone have similar problem?...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello:

I am a 60-something guy who started with a Commodore64, and only programming experience was Basic in the early 1980s. I do like electronics, and for that sin I get requests to fix stuff for people. My troubleshooting strategy is mostly swapping out boards, but I have successfully replaced some caps. (unfortunately some of the kits do not contain the correct caps that are listed in the kit, so need to check b4 unsoldering)

thats my intro,
