    Dell 2407 wfpb no backlight

    Hi i got an Dell 2407 and the backlight stopped working while i was watching a movie.
    The power light and input nr is on, but no backlight.
    i have opened the monitor and checked the power board an i seams fine, have also checked most of the voltages and they are fine.
    The fuse F1 on the inverter board is blown, and i get 19 volt on the one side comming from the connector,
    so the question is what caused the F1 fuse to blow ?
    I have checked all the diodes, the three big 2.5A fuses and most of the transistors, they all seams ok.
    do you have any suggestions about what caused the fuse to blow, maby the 5V voltage regulstor

    That is one of those bad black fuse which is used alot in the CMO Inverter board for LCD TV that I replaced lots of them. I believe that is 1.5A fuse, it is used for the PWM IC on the inverter circuit. I use PICO fuse which you will have to bend the legs, no need to remove the old fuse, you can solder one end to the big copper trace and another end to C9 leg.
    You can check the resistance on the right side of the fuse and circuit ground to see if it shows very low Ohm, also check the Output pin of the 5V reg to see if it shows low Ohms, that will the idea if you have shorted circuit or not.
    I am not sure if that fuse feed the input pin (left pin, center pin is GND, right pin is Output) of the 7805 or not.
    You can also put your meter in DCA mode to check the current draw.

      No short there, it shows 2mega ohm

      There is 2.3Kohm between out of 78m05 and gnd

      the 7805 is fed through Q2 an pnp transistor that also seams to be ok, so i belive the 5v circuit is ok, must bee someware else
      the Fuse f1 also supplys U1 an 324, and probably a bunch of other components. there are 3 220uF electrolyts on the board, i have ordered some and will replace them

          I have just to say a BIG THANK YOU, for all the information collected here that allowed me to identify a F1 fuse being responsible for the issue with my monitor. Unfortunately there is no info available how to replace this mysterious fuse with "20" 1:1, a 2A fuse for 500mA regulator seems a bit to much. And 200mA a bit weak, although tests showed a current of 35mA over resistor used for tests in normal mode.
          Anyway, I will give a try to a 200mA Polyswitch in 1206, but I have to wait for the shipment from China.

            Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
            by Bowline
            My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

            Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

            My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
            The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
            I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

            A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
            by corrize
            Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
            I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
            The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
            There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
            And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...

            Dell Latitude 5420 does not start (no post) need help to find the reason why

            Hello all,

            this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.

            I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:

            If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

            When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

            The power/battery...

            Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement
            by diamon
            I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.

            Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
            Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

            Dell G5 SE 5505 - "Invalid memory installed" after BIOS update.
            by lalle-
            Hello!

            I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
            [OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
            I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
            The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
            I tried updating to a custom BIOS from Reddit user Satori_Nori https://www...
