    I have the same problem and will try the steps below to fix it. Sometimes the monitor will stay on for long periods after I reset the settings in the menu. I'd rather fix it than spend money on a new monitor!



    I'll let ya know how it works out.

    I have the same issue with my LM729 , but am not an electronics person, so I'm looking at what looks like two coils on the power supply board. They are two circular tubes with copper wrapping around them, that are laying flat on the board. Do I at this point have to turn the board around, and solder the end points better? The two places where it says D204? If someone had a picture that would be very helpful...Thanks,

  • John_Castle Aug 10, 2008

    I soldered the coils and the transformer place, and it worked for about 4 months, then it started power cycling. You will see the green light at the power button go on and off, and a brief flicker in the lower right corner of the screen. It will go on like that the whole time. Any ideas? Perhaps now the power button is sticky?

    I have a 2 AOC LM729 that do the same thing, but i don't seem to have the same circuit board as the pictures people are showing. there are 2 points on my board that looks like they over heated the component is labeled FB901. I cant seem to find what FB stands for.

    I have had the same problem with the LM 729 and fixed it the way you describe as below.

    The hardest thing was discovering how to remove the stand attached to back of monitor.



        First you have to remove the back plastic plate and four countersunk screws - this removes the monitor stand.

        To remove the the front silver plate, you wedge a screwdriver at the top center of the screen , and work your self downwards and outwards in both directions

        As described below, locate the toroid's solder joints underneath pcb board, heat the joint(s) up with a low wattage soldering iron ( Weller or anything else).

        A little serviceman's trick in removing solder, heat the joint up and then add solder (60/40 -7 Multicore or better) like a welding stick (plenty of resin near the affected joints), when hot then use your solder ****** (Soldapullt) or something similar) and **** off the solder (the resin does a wonderful job in the removing the solder).

        Check the condition of the tinning on the torrid leads, if okay then re-solder but if tarnished use a knife and clean them.

Where are the ring inductance coils on the power supply board?

Posted on Feb 04, 2008

  • Anonymous Jul 26, 2008

    I just fixed mine as well (pictures attached). I resoldered both Inductance coils L201 and L202 (2 pins each), and for good measure I resoldered the L902 transformer as well (4pins).

    Dry solder joints are solders that are not making a good connection with the printed nodes on the circuit board.

    The solder joints may look good, but I would suggest taking the coils off and soldering them back on. Be sure that you do not apply too much solder, and try to heat up the board as little as possible or you may separate the wafer from the printed circuit.

The problem is the wire used to wind the coils. It's not insulated, but it's coated with laquer. If the factory doesn't scrape the laquer off the ends of the wires before soldering, then there will be a bad connection. The solution is to scrape the ends of the wires where they protrude thru the bottom of the circuit board, then resolder using a 15W soldering iron.

ROLOLLMFAO, what kind of a joke is this. You buy a new monitor and you need to repair it because of the coils.

This can void any warranty, who in their right mind would do this.

Normal people would send it back to the company and tell them to fix it.


Start buying a real monitor, Acer, Asus, Samsung, LG, View Sonic, HP.

These AOC must be garbage.

    Took me only 15 minutes to unsolder the inductance coils then sand down the 2 terminals on each and resolder and now it works flawlessly. I paid nothing for this monitor because it came free with a bunch of computer stuff that I bought for $30.00 off of craigslist. Thank you so much for fixya.com and the experts that are here to help others.

Hi guys
I had the same problem. First of all I tried to replace the big capacitor, but the problem remained.
Then I found and read those message considering these two coils and it WORKED for me too! Thank you so much for the shared info!

When the display goes to bank screen, mostly it is a dry soldering at the ring inductances/coils on the power supply board. Remove tin, clean the wire of the coil and resolder it. I have repaired many LM729's in this way.

Possibly a bad inverter, if that doesn't solve it probably a bad backlight. If you use the onscreen controls you should see an extremely faint image displaying the menus. That's the best way to check to verify it's not the panel itself.

My Hp notebook screen is black,sometimes it fades in and out black to grey then to black.how can i fix it

Connect your laptop to an external monitor and switch to monitor. If the external monitor shows the desktop, then the complaint is in the lcd/led display unit means the screen. Replace the screen. If the external monitor also shows the complaint, then it is normally due the mch(media controller hub) . It comes as separate card unit in some models and onboard for some other models.Only an experienced technician can solve that issue. In some rare cases it is due to a corrupted BIOS. Reply if this helped you.

AOC monitor black screen how do I fix it?

I have a couple AOC i2353ph monitors. One day, one of them booted up with a single vertical white line moving slowly back and forth across the screen that kind of looked like a scan or radar. Once I reset the monitor from the OSD it went way. Use "Extra > Reset" from the monitor menu.

Screen trys to show desktop, but quickly fades to

Hello,

Since the power led button is on, the problem with your monitor is the that the picture board of your monitor has develop fault, that is why it tries to show your desktop and quickly fades away.

The picture board of your monitor is bad and will need to be replaced in other for it to display.

The best thing for you to do is to take your monitor to a local repairer or any service center within your vicinity to help with the replacement of your picture board because the fault is not something you can fix on your own in other not to complicate issues.

Take care.

Laptop monitor goes black

If you're working on the computer when that happens, it's not probably a power setting. Try to update your BIOS to the most current version at the toshiba support website (support.toshiba.com) & see what happens. Fixes the issue most of the time

I hope this helps.

Aoc lm725 display off after few seconds

I've had a very similar issue on many Dell Monitors. Mine have been under warranty and they usually send me a new monitor, but I believe the issue lies with the power supply within the monitor.
