Re: Dell E172fpb

Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum. Just got a Dell 173fpb for 5$, it turns on but the backlight goes off after a second. Pretty much like the symptoms everybody have. The image is still visible with a flashlight so that should mean a faulty inverter circuit. A quick checkup revealed that Q759 and Q760 are short. Since it is difficult to perform a long lasting fix by replacing the faulty componenets, it would probably be better to use a 3rd party inverter board to power the backlights(see this link [URL=http://www.instructables.com/id/Replace-LCD-Backlight-Inverter-on-Any-Monitor-for-/]http://www.instructables.com/id/Replace-LCD-Backlight-Inverter-on-Any-Monitor-for-/[/URL]...
