FREE 17" LCD Monitor - How to do it?

Step 7Test the monitor!

Test the monitor!

Connect the power lead, turn the LCD on, and voila!

If you are in the 90% crowd, now you have a perfectly working LCD monitor. Moreover you delayed the hazardous material contaminating your environment!

Otherwise, you may try replacing the rest of the capacitors...

Still no avail? Well, life is a bitch. Sorry for the damage. :-(

Replace the covers, in the reverse order of previous steps... Be careful on the two sets of black Philips screws. The machine screws (with thinner teeth) are for the stand, the other set is for back cover. Don't mix them...

Enjoy life.

Have you ever worked on the 2000fp Dell?  I have that one.  I don't see any physical sign that there are any problems with the capacitors.  No leakage, and they don't look swelled up, although I've never seen this type before.

Worked for me just replacing C507 and C604. In fact, I accidently broke off C604 and it still worked fine, heh.

Wow, worked great to fix my FP1702's "blinking light" problem. Tested the P/S, and then thought maybe old electrolytics, and this article is dead-on... and my display isn't :D
