Re: Acer AL2416 AL2416W 24" 1920x1280 LCD Monitor



Thanks for the response - I understand fuses are there for a reason and was just asking which part of the circuit this particular one is protecting and from what kind of damage - looks like in your opinion I'm only risking frying some mosfets which I wouldn't call the end for the world. The thing is that while I'm looking for the replacement (not very hard) the monitor has been working in a full time office setting for a few days now with no smoke.....

I have fixed 4 or 5 of these so far with a pretty minimal knowledge about electronics. Most of the times it was the was the inverter board and just the 4 caps on the top of the board (C34,35,36 & 38.) On the last one though after the replacing of the caps didn't help I also replaced the mosfet right next to the caps (Q6), which looked a little singed - no luck. In the end it turned out that one additional culprit was the F2 fuse.

My question is: since I did not have the replacement for the fuse I just soldered...
