First if you can, try the monitor with other PC first to make sure it is not the PC problem.
Notes: We are dealing with high voltage that can kill you! so if you are not sure what you are doing,
please have it fixed by the pro that has proper tools and safety equipment. Try to use GFI outlet and
isolation transformer when work around the TV set and DO NOT DEFEAT THE GROUND PIN OF THE
OUTLET/POWER CORD.
The monitor will have at least 2 circuits boards, one board will be the logic board where the video cable
from PC is attached to, the second board used in most monitors today is the Power supply/backlight
inverter board combinations. Some monitors will have separate power supply module and backlight
inverter board.
The monitor should be connected to the running PC otherwise it will go into standby mode.
The operations of each board:
The power supply circuits are always on (unless the monitor uses the power switch that actually
disconnects the power from the outlet which is rarely used these days) which means that it is running
24/7 using the monitor or not, any spikes and surge will be fed into the monitor power supply.
Common problems:
Blown fuses, bad caps (leaking/bulging tops or bottom seals, please note that bad cap may look normal
but it can have high ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). The DC filter cap should be low ESR type for
using in the switching power supply; general purpose electrolytic types will not last very long in switching
power supply circuits. Poor solder joints, over heated components.
Testing:
Plug the monitor in but do not activate the power switch so the backlight inverter circuits will be off. Check
the 5vdc and the 12~24vdc to make sure they are OK. They should be tested with the load, you can use
6V 1A (6watts) lamp for the 5vdc, and car lamps such as 1157 (12v 8watts lo/26watts high) turn signal
brake lamp using high filament connection for testing the 12~18vdc (or use two 1157 in series for
19~24vdc) for the backlight inverter circuits.
If the power supplies are working, the output voltages should be steady at the rated voltages. The power
supply will go into shut down if it detects too much current draw due to false in the power supply or short
circuits in the backlight inverter or in the logic board.

Bad filter caps, resonant caps (in the inverter output circuits), blown transistors/IC, shorted or open
transformer winding.
Testing:
You should have spare lamps for testing the inverter circuits. You can get lamps from www.lcdparts.net
3) Logic board:
The logic board get the signals from the VGA (ANALOG) or DVI (DIGITAL) and processes them and feed
them to the LCD panel T-CON (Timing Controller) board on the back of the LCD panel.
It also sends out two signals (backlight ON/OFF and Dimming) to the inverter circuits when the monitor is
on and getting the signals from the PC.
If the logic board does not get the signal from the PC, it will put monitor into standby mode.
The 5vdc feeding it is converted to 3.3v, 1.8vdc by the switching buck converters to run the processor.
The logic board also sends the 5vd or 12vdc power for the T-CON board, if the voltage is not there, you
will see white/grey glowing screen only.
Not much repair you can do on the logic board unless you have the full service manual and surface
mount repair station.
