Good quality LCD monitor troubleshooting guide is few and far between. It's a shame I know, but that's the reality at the moment.
I've read repair manuals that contain extremely vague instructions, confusing diagrams, waaay too text-heavy and the list goes on...
Listen, if you want to learn how to repair LCD monitors as fast as possible and without splashing a lot of cash, I recommend you obtain manuals that contain around 80% photo instructions such the one mentioned at the end of this article ( note: a new window will open if you click the link).
Believe me, you try using one of those text-heavy LCD monitor troubleshooting guides and I guarantee, you'll end up in a state of extreme confusion.
And don't get me started on LCD monitor repair classes...
They are way overpriced! There's one about a few blocks from my workplace and the fee is $300 for a couple days course.
If that's not daylight robbery, then I don't know what is!
Okay, enough about finding the ideal repair manual. Let me offer some shockingly simple tactics to help you troubleshoot two very common LCD monitor problems.
Burnt high voltage transformer
What I hate most about this problem is that when you're unable to locate the necessary components and you operate it on a single transformer - the monitor goes off!
It's very annoying to say the least. So, the workaround to this problem is by performing a modification to the LCD monitor itself. Yes, I learned how to do so from that LCD monitor troubleshooting guide, and I didn't realise it was possible!
Now you might be asking, "why modify the LCD monitor?"
This way, the LCD monitor won't shut off automatically (even if the high voltage transformer is already busted) and still be able to display top-notch visual quality.
Dim display issue
Lately, my repair bench is inundated with dim display LCD monitors. And that's not all...the LED goes on and off as well.
If you're experiencing this sort of problem, then here's the first action step: check out the output voltages flowing from the switch mode power supply. They must be steady.
If the output voltages are not fluctuating or anything like that, then obviously the main board is causing the problem. Also, make sure you examine the semi-conductor located on the inverter board.
Like I said earlier, if you want to become a pro at fixing LCD monitors, then make sure you get an LCD monitor troubleshooting guide [http://www.articlesbase.com/hardware-articles/lcd-monitor-troubleshooting-guide-shockingly-simple-ways-to-troubleshoot-problematic-lcd-monitors-3448828.html] that's packed with step-by-step photos.
