| 684560 | 2008-07-02 05:23:00 | Hi, I have a philips 170s 17" lcd monitor that i got from a friend it apparently just stopped working, i tried it and it works perfectly for about 2 seconds, then flickers a little then dies out, however i put a torch to the screen and it is still showing picture, just very very dark, so im guessing that its the backlights, i have tried it on several computers with cables i that definately work but it still does the same, i have opened the monitor and one of those circle things with wire rapped around them (sorry about the technical terms:thumbs: ) looks slightly corroded. Do you think that is the problem? or if anyone has any other ideas that would be great Thanks |

| 684562 | 2008-07-02 06:02:00 | Hi Backlight problems are normally the result of faulty invertor transistor/s. This is a relatively easy job to repair for someone with electronic experience. I suggest you have the monitor serviced by a professional who knows what he is doing. It is my guess, this is a too advanced for you to do yourself as your description of "circle things with wire rapped around them" proves. Further it is a guess, you may be talking of a transformer of some sort. Whilst this may or may not be the problem, you would not be able to replace it yourself. BURNZEE |

BURNZEE Lol, i have now passed on monitor to another person so its no longer mine but yup i agree that circle thingy with wire wrapped around it proves i know nothing about electronics |
