    Re: Samsung SyncMaster B2330 Black screen

    Is their anyway I can run the monitor before buying the CCFLs? it has 2 of the 4 still in it functioning and I would like to confirm that that was the only problem before I spend 40 dollars on new bulbs.

      You can make two test lamps so it will keep the Inverter circuit from shutting down.

          Yes, there is. At the electronics recycle center where I volunteer; we sometimes get a decent monitor with bad bulbs. But it would be too costly, and time consuming to repair. So we grab an extra set of ccfl's about the same length and plug them into the inverter where the bad ccfl's are. This prevents the protection circuit from shutting the monitor down. And it's still safe to operate. Then we duct tape the ccfl's to the lcd panel. This means the lcd monitor will now be running on just those 2 good ccfl's inside. And that's often still plenty bright enough. We tell a buyer that it only has 2 bulbs lighting inside, and give them a discount. You could probably find cheap used ccfl's at your local lcd/tv/electronics recycle center.

              one little problem now, the monitor was clicking and making a weird noise and then this happened. is the monitor trash now? I feel like it is but maybe their is a simple fix. The ribbon cables off the motherboard post ccfl installation, it was making a weird noise that was rapid clicking and the screen had changing lines of color so I took it apart again and these ribbons came disconnected the contacts are smaller than a hairs with... idk what I should do now.. picture is posted
