I have a FPD1960 monitor that will not turn on. I

Hello,

The most common cause of power up issues with the Gateway FPD1960 monitor is a failure of the filter capacitors on the AIP-0100 power supply board in the unit. Here is a link to repair information for that board.

Power board capacitors blowing or blown, fixable, if you are handy with a soldering iron

You may have failing power supply DC filter caps.
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses, poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

I looked for a service manual, but could find none :(

Hi

i recommend the following

1) if your monitor has a 3 pin kettle type lead, please replace and see if this sorts the issue, if it is hardwired then unfortunatley your monitor is faulty and will need to be replaced/repaired

Please leave feedback/vote if this has been useful

bailerie, Gateway and most all other LCD displays DON'T know how to reboot! They have NO need to do that! You must tell me what you see when you RECONNECT FPD1960 to a already fully booted, KNOWN GOOD pc that is currently displaying the WIN-desktop! Then and only then power-up the 1960 unit and observe what is going on and for how long! The only guess I can make about this problem is this. The "switch-mode-power-supply" inside your monitor is cycling IN and OUT of SHUTDOWN MODE because it has detected a FAULT of some kind with another circuit or even with itself. Get back to us so we can further help you. 12fixlouie Bye for now.

try to turn it on the power switch on monitor.....and make sure all connection are ok

try checking the power cable

Cleaning won't do it.
It probably needs all new capacitors on the board. are any canister looking components bulged up at the tops ? This is the most common problem on the ones I fix.

Have you tried your monitor on somebody else computer?
