NEC 1810X LCD Repair Question
I apologize if this comes through Twice.
I've got 4 bad NEC 1810X LCD Monitors. I've searched all over the web for some schematics/etc and wasn't able to obtain any, anywhere due to the fact that I'm not an authorized repair person. I was able to find a thread on google news from May on this very monitor from this newsgroup, so I was hoping to get some help from those of you who have more experience then me on repairing these monitors. Basically, the monitor powers up just fine and I can see the "glow" coming through the case and the screen seems to be 'lit' a bit. The DVI has no signal when I plug the monitors into my laptop, thus I figured that it must be the inverter board, per the articles from May. When I switch to external monitor, the light goes green to indicate that it "sees" the signal. When I unplug the DVI cable, it goes orange. I've attached this description and pictures he http://www.scottc.org/nec1810fix.html So, assuming that one of these is bad, how in the world do I go about replacing a fuse this tiny. I haven't ever worked with anything this small and would rather not break a few inverter boards (I have 4 monitors currently all doing the same thing) learning how to replace a fuse. I'm really out of practice with my meter too, but should be able to easily isolate the problem, assuming that one of these fuses is bad, as JW, Dave Walker, and Richard Anderson pointed out back in May. (Here) Can someone please give me some pointers as what the best way to go about removing these fuses and replacing them is. Is it as simple as pulling out my soldering iron and pulling them out/replacing with a 1.5A or 1.25A from Fry's Electronics? Also, if I'm barking up the wrong tree here, got any other suggestions and some sources of replacement parts if I need them? Thanks in advance to any replies.

Eh? You say that you see a glow? From what the lcd? Orange lights on what??
Is this lcd on your laptop or is it a standalone monitor? If it lights up the inverter is working. The inverter is what powers the CFL tubes (little flourscent lights inside the lcd). Sounds like you might have a lcd controlere card problem, but who knows. When you say DVI has no signal what do you mean, you get no picture? Your problem could be the laptop. You usually have to push a button on the laptop to enable video out on vga or dvi ports. Try it on a desktop and see if it works. - Mike "Scott Carlson" wrote in message news:9ZDcd.7814$6P5.6221@okepread02... I apologize if this comes through Twice. I've got 4 bad NEC 1810X LCD Monitors.
