Well I didn't have to soak test it for long. My wife (Julie, by the way) used it for a few hours this morning, but as she was sending an email when it suddenly went blank, then came back on with narrow multicoloured vertical lines all over the screen (looking like a duff GPU). I unplugged the monitor power and powered it back up again but now it doesn't come on. Julie's PC had not crashed, I connected a spare monitor and it was working.

@gorjy9610 Год назад

Sounds like bad solder joints somewhere on media board, I'd bet it will start working same moment you open it next time.

@Nelox2000 Год назад

Hi Sir, it has nothing to do with the video, but I see that you know a lot. I found on the thrash a gtx titan x which was not working, when I opened it up, i saw that it has a high side mosfet burned and an inductor (r33) burned… the electrical engineer team of my company told me that they will help me, if I find the compounds. Do you think it will work replacing this pieces? Or the 12v reached the gpu, or vrams and it is non sense? The rest of the gpu looks glorious besides that two compounds. Cheers, and sorry for this question, I know it is not related with the video but I can not find the answer nowhere

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

@@Nelox2000 Impossible to answer that, but usually short circuit high side mosfet does tend to kill the GPU, Vram or both. I would take some resistance measurements. GPU Vcore will read very low anywau, but if you see a near short of Vmemcontroller, PEX or Vram it doesn't look good. Expect PEX to read 10-20 ohms or so, and Vmemcontroller to read maybe 30 ohms or so.

@@LearnElectronicsRepair thank you sir, i will let you know what happened once i change the compounds. I will take the measurments also. Greetings from Argentina.

Could be a bad cap somewhere misbehaving when it gets too hot. I had a similar issue with a samsung one where it kept going off under load and then would turn on after a while. Fixed it but then the backlight went on it. Might be a good idea to check them one by one.

@goranaxelsson1409 Год назад

Reminds me of a LED TV I got in a couple of years back. The error was that it stopped working after 15-30 minutes. So the guy loaded it up in the car and brought it over. I opened it up and checked for any visual cues.. nothing. Then I just put a movie onto it and did other stuff while it was playing in the background. Worked perfectly. So the guy got it back and it worked fine for him too. A year later I got a new call. The TV had worked perfectly for almost a year until the error appeared again. This time it didn't start at all so time for round two... I opened it up again and now I could see the problem, a burned connector for the power going in on the main board. The connector showed a brown spot on the plastic. I quickly stripped the wires and soldered them straight onto the main board and the TV worked again. Apparently the connector had a thermal issue and failed open when it got hot. When I opened it the first time it was enough to break the oxide layers and create a better connection, allowing it to work until it eventually failed. So nowadays I check the power connectors if I don't find any other fault. The first sign of an overheated connector is the tin plating turns gray and dull compared to the pins around it. In extreme cases the plastic of the connector turns brown or even starts to char.

@rafak9177 Год назад

Hi Rich, I fixed a few monitors recently. I find old plastic cards (like credit cards or loyalty cards) very useful when prying open the back cover. Stiff enough to do the job, but also flexible and won't snap. Just be careful as the top layer of the foil peels off and particles can stay inside the monitor. Cheers!

@LarixusSnydes Год назад

I really like that the manufacturer has clear, descriptive silk screen printing on the PCB and printed different dash and cross marks on the outgoing flat cable. This makes it much easier to track continuity between boards in case there is a twist in the cable on the way to the connecting board.

My dead monitor was a broken track on the neutral input to the board. Took it out - working, put it back in - not working. This kept happening until the break on the track became visibly noticeable. Blob of solder and some wick fixed it.

@CTCTraining1 Год назад

Intermittent faults are the most annoying. I’ve had some success with freeze spray revealing dry solder joints in the past. Yes, soak tests for things which fail during use are worthwhile but if something doesn’t start without tinkering (TLC?) I’m not sure burn in testing would necessarily reveal the condition. Maybe a warm air / freeze spray ? Hopefully it will return for a part 2 😀👍

@andygardiner6526 Год назад

Tap around with a screwdriver handle and wiggling wires followed by freezer. As someone else has mentioned, I would wonder if the power switch is used regularly and is intermittent - some are never used as the pc is turned off instead but it's worth a look ...

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

As this monitor is used by my wife at the workshop it is easiest to let her use it and see what happens.

I had a similar issue and it turned out the physical push button was defective. Everything was fine after replacing it. It was the first I've seen these little buttons breaking causing a loose/intermittent contact

@TheDurdane Год назад

I also think power button. There is too much current spike turning on and off. It would better if there was a relay between the main and the PSU, but then again that is probably too expensive, since these monitors are so cheap in relation to ten years ago...

@RickL_was_here Год назад

That was my thoughts as well.

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

The monitor should power up automatically when you apply power, then go to sleep until the PC provides a signal

The saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', is better stated as 'if it ain't broke, don't break it', in my opinion. If I only heeded my own advice on more than one occasion, it would have saved me a lot of time and effort lol.

@Del_UK Год назад

I have a few monitors, where the fault is on the driver board. What would happened, is it would not turn on straight away and this was due to a faulty cap. After replacing, it would work and the after an hour would suddenly go blank screen. It turned out that there is a component 3 legs/pins with a heatsink ( I don't know the name of the part). What was happening is due to lack of air flow in case, this part was heating up and the shutting down when it became too hot. I applied some fresh thermal paste and it worked semi ok for about a month and then died completely.

@marcellipovsky8222 Год назад

Hi Richard, you mentioned it many times now (and we've seen it) that the humidity and salinity of the Island's environment causes a lot of corrosion. It really could be as simple as that the power button and other contacts got a bit corroded hence increasing the resistances and causing the intermittent failures.

@jonnafry Год назад

Yes indeed, I"ve had that power button scenario a couple of times with various monitors.

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

This monitor should power up without pressing the power button so I doubt it is that.

@seeithappen1 Год назад

@Denise_in_progress Год назад

Maybe when the processor got warm it shuts down, when it Cools off it does working again. Or you just had to reseat the screen connector, sometimes it's just that and will solve it like laptop's issues with no screen but backlight on as long as the 3 or 5 volt is presenceb 👍.

Hi, I have this Dell LCD 2709W for some time now, but about 3yrs ago it stopped turning on, took it to a technician and they could not fix it but suggested i change the board, which we could not obtain anywhere in Nigeria. I packed it up, after about 4mths I plugged it, power it on and voila its working, i used it for sometime and it stopped working again. So i packed it again and after a month tried to power it again and it did not work, so i left it for longer like 3mths plus and power it again and its working. It stopped working last year and i packed it again, i tried powering after a while it did not work, so i left it again for longer, i just powered it on today and its working. Is there any explanation to this? What could be done? Thanks

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

For recording I use OBS Studio which does the picture-in-picture inserts in real time. For editing I use Davinci Resolve. Both are free software and I can thoroughly recommend them. I record on an i7-4790 with 4Gb of DDR3, and GTX 750 ti running Windows 7 32 bit. I edit on an i7-5820K X99 system with 16Gb DDR4 RAM and also currently using an GTX 750 ti running windows 10 64 bit as my GTX 980 ti was acting up I have just built an i7-7700K with 16Gb DDR4 and RTX 2070 ti to replace my i7-4790 recording PC and I'm about to upgrade the i7-5820K with a RTX 4070 ti. This will allow me to A: do live streaming on RU-vid or go up to 1080p 60fps or 2K/4K recording and B: edit videos much faster or at higher resolutions I hope that helps you.

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

Alan, I do know how to do those things 😉 I did discuss in the video how to move forwards (waggle wires etc) or put it on soak test and I also chatted about why I didn't check the PSU output before removing and testing it. Of course you and everyone else are welcome... no, in fact you are invited... to express your opinions and you are correct to question or challenge what I do. As I explained this is not a customers item, it is in use at the workshop every day, so I stand by my comments that in this instance I believe it is best to just use it and see what it does. IMHO I would say your suggestions on how you would approach this fault are just as relevant and perfectly correct, but I wouldn't say they are more correct than my conclusion is.
