Re: Dell 3008wfp faulty power supply

Woah selldoor, reducing the brightness made it flicker slower, like from 20-30Hz to less than once a second when going from 85 to 70. Are we on to something here?

edit: reducing brightness to 50 made it go away completely for now.

Re: Dell 3008wfp faulty power supply

Hey all, I posted here before, I now have the faulty 3008WFPt at home and for the first week it seemed fine. Today it's exihibiting backlight flickering after "warming up" to about 21°C room temperature plus about 5 hours of use.

Any suggestions before I take it apart?...

Re: Dell 3008wfp faulty power supply

I need to get the ok by my supervisor first, it's clear that it's out of warranty by now (purchased 2008) but it's not clear if he will give me the ok to try and fix it on "business time" or if we just buy a 2711 as replacement. I probably will try and get it to tinker at home with it, because it would be a pity to trash it.

About me, I majored in Computer Science, have basic EE knowledge and know which end of a soldering iron is the hot one.

Re: Dell 3008wfp faulty power supply

More of a generic 3008WFP question, as the one I just got in from our CAD guy is not totally black/dead. (yet)

If you switch it on it in the morning it is fine, but showing a full screen flickering after being powered on and displaying an image for 1h+.

Observations:
- Top back bezel is warm to the point that it's unpleasent to touch.
- Issue only appears if on for an extended time (1h+).
- Blowing compressed canned air in the small air vents left and right of the connection area the issue is...
