Let's fix a monitor, a weird one

[@petervoss6745]

the color of your new desk makes it easyer to find your screws! Thank you for all that you have done to me. See you the next time from berlin, germany

[@boolfnasa2582]

Hi Sorin, keep them coming, it does not matter if it is already done before many times or not, and don't also we miss some phone repairs, long time no post of phone repairs. Just keep it coming, we are addicted to Sorin repairs..

[@andrewboraine7322]

Bad caps lol, i knew immediately that it had something to do with caps when i saw the voltage fluctuation and i learnt it all from this channel.

[@electronic7979]

Nice repair video 👍

[@jasonsilva7335]

I was worried, no video two days 😂 I follow every video. Many useful things can be learned from you. Thank you for that.

[@fixittech99]

I love a good mystery. Thank you for always putting out such great content!

[@NarasimhaB]

So true, these electronics troubleshooting vids are more like a mystery. Electronics Sherlock Holmes pursuing the clues step by step.

[@riparaggi]

Hi Sorin and welcome back. I repaired a monitor not so different from this (acer branded) and worked with an external power supply.. 9V and 3.5Amp

[@reacey]

Love your vids, you're an excellent electronic engineer

[@MrRvdbeek]

Hé Sorin. The new pc isn’t flickering anymore. Nice desk. And a simple job nice quality picture so keep it up great work thank you 🙏

[@metalacos]

One thing about opening chargers, especially laptop ones - easly you can open it with a petrol. Just put petrol on the join point line and wait couple of minutes. Charger opens itself.And great videos, lots of know how and best repairs without schematics.

[@BjornV78]

I have seen this trick and it works, but it's not clear to me, what they meant with "Petrol" ? Petrol or Petroleum here in Belgium is the fuel used for little portable heaters, but that's more a oily liquid and doesn't dissolve glue or anything. Then we have "Benzine" or "Naft" that we put in gasoiline cars. This fuel is also called gas or petrol in some parts of the world. And then we have also "Diesel" wich is like the Petrol i mentioned, but for cars and heating our home. So can you explain which liquid you use exactly? Thanks in advance. Grts

[@metalacos]

I used petrol from gas station (not Diesel). One that i put in lawn mower. And it's a miracle to me :)

[@paulmuff9883]

Excellent diagnosis👍😀

[@zok4e]

lets make a petition so Sorin must upload videos more often :)

[@sammlerkiste7970]

Nice, new Desk.

[@voornaamachternaam3502]

its about time.. no scratching of the things to repair anymore ?

[@lee__1707]

Thanks for sharing Sorin always look forward to another video upload from you, all the best

[@emvdl]

Thanks 👍 In most of your videos, you always check the voltage of the power supply first 😀

[@ranjit8323]

Thanks for teaching us

[@alaahaidar8029]

Hello , so we'r back yeah 😍 realy can't imagine my day without your vids You Are The Best P.s don't talk about your real love when you know Daiana can see that 😂😂😂😂

[@williamdawson6351]

Normally 12 to 18 the highest I have seen around a few amps max for cfl based monitor, the front snaps off. Red V+, black gnd., one yellow enable back light(on/off), other yellow brightness normally on the inverter board. More then likely 470 uf 16 volt in the 65 degree temp range the standard low end caps.

[@juanchizabaleta2405]

Good repair Master, although it is missed, the old work table, with the traces of the battles; greetings from South America, Argentina.

[@constantinionescu6839]

Sorine,i like that: Huston, we have a problem...(quotation from Apollo 13 communications)You are not only smart fixing electronics ,but funny too.

[@RickeyBowers]

Fixing all the things - you are wonderful. Thank you.

[@Umski]

Easy fix in the end, nice one - I'm surprised you took the time to take the monitor apart before first checking the symptoms and then checking the output of the PSU first? In my experience checking and external PSU for output voltage is the first course of action but I get that the monitor would have been trying to draw a lot more current hence the voltage going up and down due to the bulging caps - they were both easy enough to take apart in the end so minimal effort :) 8V would seem to suggest that the overall screen design may have been used for portable applications in mind back in the day. Curious what the second cable apart from the VGA plug was? This would have given away that it was a touch screen, no? Interesting fix since it was just the PSU that was faulty - 8v 3.6A adaptors from Ingenico available at £15 ;)

[@saarike]

Nice repair with great trouble shoot! Thanks

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

Check the voltage rating of input capacitor to know the voltage

[@kimspeller5379]

hey my monitor had an internal power board.........but same thing..........blown caps............ one of the first things i check for these days as its so common ! good video ! :)

[@rachbougue1244]

hello great vids you do there i used to push down th popped caps on desktop and it work again for a while

[@mikem4432]

Great video.

[@ITLegendChannel]

I Love All about what you share before mr Sorin.

[@karelzomer7763]

NICE new desk. Wich computer do you use. (specs). My day starts with a great video of Mr Sorin. Thanks a lot.

[@dalealmonrode4581]

Nice Desktop !

[@transformateur9969]

Yes sir , see you next time , from Québec !

[@ETERNAL_MODS]

qc!

[@ranjit8323]

I was seen your power supply video that was great

[@denizgoksel]

Good job👍

[@boolfnasa2582]

I think it is part of a medical/dentist PC system

[@vdtran69]

Expert as always. Thanks,

[@borislicic]

Old desk made your different from others. And I see from comments that we all miss the old one.

[@asfrancis2409]

thanks for all u are great

[@sandraledger2612]

What temperature is your soldering iron?

[@michaelbryan3363]

hi love your channle. i've always been in to electronics all my life,but never understood how things work. watching your video's i get a better understanding how components work. where is your shop,i have loads of electrical devices come to me for fixing,but i can only do the basics. get back to doing little electronic projects like your varible transformer video. keep up the good work and keep your video's coming

[@zx8401ztv]

I've never seen a monitor with so little inside, it has to be for a computer that must have that touch type only, that's the reason the owner will pay. 8 volts is a bit odd though.

[@johnmcgaghey1127]

thanks for the video!

[@aymentunisiano1207]

i m so excited im waiting for that video

[@jaimecosta2966]

Excelente vídeo

[@tington874]

Hello Sorin, i think this would be a good idea to invest in a small hand solder pumps as Ersa or Antex , it is cheap and very convinient to remove components. i have both these brands since a while they are not bad at all.

[@forget2212]

This power supply is, for sure, not the original one. Ingenico (brand of the power supply) is from the credit card payment machine

[@richardcranium5839]

i hate prying open plastoc cases. the older it is the more brittle it gets. and yes injuring yourself is a big concern. you need really strong sharp tools on most of them to get it started. i save the old ends off power bricks so i can use the plugs with my power supply but it still seems you never have the right ones.

[@bridgetowncomputerandcellp529]

This gives me flashbacks to some ELO Point of Sale Repairs that I've done.

[@fbifido2]

@4:24 - why does it have 2 cables coming out. one is for Data the other is for what??? I can see the DC power connector, that makes it 3 cables.

[@orionnebula7288]

Touchscreen ? It's not a TV, so touchscreen has to be connected to main unit.

[@carlopasswords7083]

Sorin, my monitor make noise when it is turned off, when i turn it on the noise disappears! The buzz can stop if I increase the brightness , but when I turn it off , always hear that sound quiet. Does anyone know the answer ?

[@borisdg]

"Its LCD, because it has inverter" ?? 😲All are LCD Sorin. The case here is its using CCFL and not LED backlight.

[@borisdg]

@@bojanlazarevic6031 But its channel for learning people. Such stuff spread misinformation.

[@climberakis]

Nice, but i prefer the colors of old desk.

[@Grinder-one]

It disappoints me that modern day motherboards use those military style solid caps and gone are the days of being able to instantly see those bulges. I remember about 15 years ago, opening a satellite receiver because it was only receiving channels on the horizontal and not the vertical(or the other way round) and instantly seeing a bulging cap, I replaced it and job done....I thought it was gonna be a chip or something and doubted I would be able to fix it, yet it was a 10 minute job.

[@orionnebula7288]

It's not weird, it's custom made. Universal LVDS controller, universal inverter etc. Case without markings - part of the kit? Anyway, usually controllers have either USB port for flashing either set of jumpers to determine resolution. This one has none, so I presume the chip was directly flashed. Small batches for some kind of specialized equipment? Medical?

[@electronicsrepairschool]

[@sonicpk100]

old days memory blow head caps. nice to hear reconsider prize you are also nice human

[@MrDinakdakan]

yey were back

[@arash2paris]

Ok, dats not OK, dats verd! love u sorin

[@madalinbetea9871]

Sorine de ce nu construiești un ESR-metru în următoarele tale postări pe youtube.

[@0dium.]

get side cutters and a Dremel tool :)

[@andyturner1727]

Sorin you have a capacity with capacitors. 😀

[@jim8230]

Cold at 10 degrees? Its only around 3 degrees here. Also, why don't you have a proper set of side cutters...? :>)

[@weerobot]

Awesome..

[@upanath]

Small amt of petrol to open charger easily

[@deft3562]

This one absolutely weird lol

[@AkiraReyna]

when you open the power supply....my hand feel like the screw that went through when I did the same....

[@burceamihaicatalin7874]

The best!!!

[@computersrepaircotesaint-l7407]

best tech

[@silent-ghost]

ACE!!

[@AnonymousRepair]

Easy way to the these external power supply is to use 12V brake light from a car you can do 12v to 24v with that globe , it puts a load on the power supply , if the light is blinking on and off then you know its the power supply ,Quick and easy , before you even open the monitor

[@jonsnell4751]

The first thing to test is the power supply.

[@ArcAiN6]

wow.. the internals of that monitor looks like an ebay special straight from china :D

[@3vyatarla434]

Your experience...

[@eeledahc]

Touch screen, not regular monitor.

[@kadmaster]

Come to Besiktas Sorin! Wait where is table and who r u? and don't blame costumer because sometimes one thing just suitable for another thing like size...

[@ranjit8323]

But sir I am waiting for you power supply video

[@loizostheochari1509]

Sorin the capacitors are bulging they must be pregnant.

[@ibnelkhtaib9709]

hello
