Hello,

Your power supply board is dead, u know basic electronics' and soldering? Most of the times, the power supply board just have dead leakages gases capacitors.These capacitors always bulges up on it top,or puff up on it top.Replaced these gases leakages capacitors will get your TV power stable,and work again.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Hope this help in solving the problem. Take care....

Back lights invereter or power supply. look for 24vdc on the power supply which is needed for the inveeter board.
look for bad caps in the power supply.

power button in the bottom of the 7 on the right side of the tv

I have had same problem. Ordered Main Module from [email protected]
Works great now!

Dell will replace it if it's less than 3 yrs old but apparently their tech support people are clueless about this and have to be told what they need to look up. The replacement is a nice gesture except if you're like me and paid >$1,000 for this more than 3 yrs ago. I have had TV's > 20 yrs and don't reacall major problems with any.

For a used part, or a complete used set like yours, try eBay. One thing to consider, is if someone is selling a used set there is a chance that its faults, or potential faults may be the same as the one that you have.

There is no fix for the W2600. It has a power supply problem.
For sometime Dell was replacing the tv's with new ones, but don't think they are anymore. If you go to the Dell Forum and type in your tv you will see the amount of people that have had the same problem. Unbelieveable. As a matter of fact, Dell is not even making TV's anymore. Guess they gave up. They cannot be fix, cannot get the parts for it.

>you can try this: Replace capacitor (10uF/50V) on small board >mounted to power supply next to mother board power connector.

didn't work for me. any other suggestions?
