Dell F1703 17 in. Flat Panel... Problem

check the display on some other screen also, if there is no display in other screen the problem is in the cpu, remove the RAM from the slot then insert it again then check

martineillas, Go here first, and do some reading. http://www.lesliewong.us/blog/2005/05/02/hp-pavilion-f1703-flat-panel-display-blackout-solution/ Then do standard flashlight test to determine "full" or "partial" shutdown mode of the internal power supply. Look at rear of monitor for "date of manufacture" ?? If screen is black and blank, then supply is in full shutdown mode. If not blank, only black, then 5vdc ok, 12vdc in shutdown mode (bad) !!! Do some extensive reading in the fixya profiles of the technicians here on FIXYA. Plenty of repair documentation already been written on this type of lcd monitor repair. Always state "model number" and approximate total "on" hours of use when contacting fixya for help. Good luck with repair. 12fixlouie

Clean the wires real well before resoldering.

If your Dell monitor still under into warranty, better to call Dell technical support and have them replace your monitor coz there is no way you can fix on it.

If the monitor is beyond with the warranty already, better to but a new one than taking it repair that will cost you much.

Thank you.

This is most likely the power inverter board in the monitor - this is common in many monitors. If it started taking longer and longer to display an image, and the power light is blinking on-and-off, that's the problem. You can confirm that it's the monitor and not your computer or the cable by plugging in another monitor if you have one to try.

If it's under warranty, send it back, if not, there are inverter boards for many common models of LCD monitors that are replaceable. The board can run anywhere from $50 on up. Depending on how old it is, you may find it better to just replace it with a gently used one from ebay.

You will need a new monitor screen. I have had two screens go on me recently and what you describes normally happens

try swapping the computer power cable and don't connect the vga cable with the system. if you get a power on self test displayed it makes sure that the monitor is fine. if nothing is displayed you can take it for repairs or else call 1-800-624-9896 its Dell technical support number or log on to support.dell.com

REPLACE 2SC5707 IN POWER INVERTER BOARD.
This parts is used to fix Some dell and hp lcd monitor.
DELL E172FPb, E173FPb. HP Pavilion F1703, Pavilion F1503. If you can't get this item to work let me know, I can help I have fixed a lot of these monitor with no problem.

Look for bulged or leaking capacitors on the power supply board. If you can solder, you should be able to replace them with the same type and rating and that may just solve the problem. I've had luck with a couple of dozen monitors so far.
