Hello,
I recently acquired a 17" Dell E172fbp that turns on for 1 second then goes black. Now I'm planning to use just the LCD screen for a homemade projector, so I don't care about the back light. I'm wondering if I can replace the built-in power supply board with something else, like a couple of walmart adapters or a computer power supply. This monitor has 2 circuits boards: one for power and one for the LCD. They are coupled by 10 pins. 2 pins are at 5V, 2 are at 3.3V, 4 are ground and the last two energize at 2.45V and 3.14V when I push the power button.
What do you think? Is it feasible? A circuit diagram would really help if anyone knows where I can get my hands on one.
Thanks for any input!
