Any techs had experience with Dell flat panels, and are they made by Sony? A customer recently brought in a 17" lcd monitor for me to service. This one powers up with OSD, goes blank after one second. If a signal's injected with a pc's vga connection a picture will show up for one second then go blank, same with vga tester. There is no screen distortion. Is this indicative of some type of driver circuit or maybe a backlight failure? I worked on a similar model in the past that had some leaky p/supply caps. Any input from someone with service literature is appreciated Dell 172FBP; 17" Flat Panel Fred MTS Electronics fremur01@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Email List is Public.
