    Thanks!

    R669 is 102 (1000 ohm)
    R670 is 0.22 ohm

      Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap

      So I'm trying to fix up a power board from a monitor at work.

      Replaced the large cap, seems the R670 is bad as well. Anyone else notice anything? I can probably grab the R670 at radioshack on my lunch. Gonna find my multimeter as well to check anything else if people have recommendations.

        I recommend you post the pictures as follows
        Welcome to the forum-
        We can help a lot more if you please post good clear pictures of the whole chassis, and then pictures of each board, front and back and close up of connectors, (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) using the manage attachments button, which is found by clicking "go advanced" under quick reply.

        Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

        Examples of what is needed

        https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...7&d=1280167246

        It will be useful if you can say what the supposed fault was and a bit about yourself - skills tools etc.

        Tell me what you see here:

          Hopefully these are a lot better.

          And my skills are amateur really. I have a radioshack iron and a few things here and there (multimeter and such). Will eventually will invest on a better set of tools. Hoping this is one of the easier boards to repair but doesn't seem like good odds.

            Also sorry for glares from overhead lights, it's overcast/raining outside and this is the best lighting I have.

              Actually, from what I've seen the success rate for repairing this board has been poor. One of the successful repairs was back on post #258. You can check your parts against what elvena replaced.

              Also, it wouldn't hurt if you gave a description of the symptoms your monitor is having.

                Pictures are not a lot better - too grainy - more natural light is the key.
                Anyway - you still need to tell us the problem. What happens when you plug it in. What happens when you switch it on. What does the panel (Screen) do
                what does the power led do. Any noises ( Hiss squeeks etc)

                As you will have read we only know of one of these being fixed by conventional methods - others have modded with an external power supply.

                  Natural light is unfortunately impossible today.

                  And no noises, I just connect AC and it does nothing. No lights, logo, pops, nothing. The power button makes a nice normal click.

                    Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap

                    When the Source resistor is damaged, it means that the MOSFET has shorted out and it will take out the IC that drives the MOSFET also, you should replace them at the same time.

                      Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap

                      Ok plugged in but not switched on what voltage across the Big Cap?
                      Meter on 600VDC red prob on positive leg of cap and black probe on negative leg.
                      Then do it again after you press the power switch. CARE High voltages do not touch any heatsinks or other parts.

                      If its been switched on switch off & leave 5 mins then
                      I cant see that you have checked the main fuse? or the Black round component next to it.
                      For both meter on ohms 200 and check resistance - post results

                        00.6 on the fuse, 07.1 on round component.

                        My multimeter only goes up to 500VDC and it reads 158.

                        I am also reading through for the components required for the IC, MOSFET, and resistor. I see the resistor is a .22ohm as mentioned above.

                          Re: Dell 2407WFPb Monitor - Bad Cap

                          So would it be a safe bet to replace most of the items listed on the previous page from the guy that did everything successful, or just replace the 3 mentioned and call it good? Is there a chance of the 3 I replace getting shorted out again if something else down the line is bad?

                          I'm thinking of stopping by Fry's in the next two days to pick up pieces. Surface mounted stuff does give me the willies since I don't have a reflow station, but I do have a regular ol' huge heat gun I can use.

                            So what do you get when you check the MOSFET, is it shorted? Does the 0.22 Ohms resistor check open?

                              I haven't checked the MOSFET but the .22ohm resistor has two cracks down the sides on the top so I'm pretty sure it's blown.

                              You can see the crack in this picture.

                                OK, it would be safe to replace the IC's, MOSFET's, resistors, main filter cap components in the post 258. The surface mounted may not be damaged but look at them real close with magnifying glass.

                                  When looking at the surface mount, am I just checking for discoloration on the solder joints primarily?

                                  So list I have to replace is at least Q651, F601, and R670. I'll try to grab the others when I get in tomorrow and take an extra look at everything. Hopefully I can traditional repair this board no problem. I'm just feeling sketchy about using the bypass method in a work environment.

                                    The surface mounted resistor, when it burns up you will see the middle section has a small black hole, pit, bulging, the printed number on the body will be damaged also.

My local place is WWW.CRC.ORG, I have been at the place since 1995.
