Solved No Power Problem In HP L1706 (PX849A) LCD Monitor
This Monitor came in with no power problem and found the main fuse 3.15 amp open circuited. As usual one has to find out whether other components have short circuit or not before you put a new fuse and retest the set. After scanning all of the primary and some of the major components in the secondary side of power supply i could not locate any shorted components. Placing a 100 watt bulb across the fuse and noticed that the bulb dims down and the big filter capacitor voltage did not drop even though the power jack already been removed.
Since the start up resistors are going to the power IC SG5841SZ (SMD IC) I suspect that this IC could be faulty causing the filter cap voltage remain high. Finding from my spare part compartment could not locate such part number thus i use SG6841SZ SMD IC as replacement to try it out. Before i put in the new IC, i did search from the internet and compare both spec and found that both of the IC’s were not much different from each other.
So the result was the LCD Monitor power came back a life after the replacement of the SG6841SZ IC and a fuse. This HP L1706 Monitor use some of the part numbers such as :
BIT3713 (INVERTER IC), 40P03GJ (FET), 2761I (Power FET), 817B (Optoisolator IC), 1506 (Voltage regulator IC) and AZ431 (Adjustable Precision Shunt Regulator IC). Please jot down in your diary book that the SG5841SZ can be replace with SG6841SZ.

HI Uros,
Since you said the voltage was low then i suggest that you trace from this line. It could be the problem of the voltage regulator circuit that did not supply voltage to the inverter board.

Hi,
I want to open the base of my monitor hp L1706, but it wont come off. I opened the screws at the back of it but it wont come out, can you help me. And if you can, link me a drawn procedure for opening the base.

Hi Rafey,
Make sure the base already out and then peel off from bottom using flat metal plate. Once opened then you can peel from the side.

Hi Jestine!
I need your help, advice...
During the last few days my monitor Samsung SincMaster 940N shows strange behavior at the start. It seems it needs some warm-up time. Pc starts well and goes to windows, but monitor has just blinking diode and after few minutes it I get desktop, but in lower than my resolution. Then I have to readjust it, to turn it up to highest, which I regularly use. Then it works fine, but if I turn it off over the night, I ahve same problem in the morning.
I have doubts if problem is with monitor (longer warm up time caused by inverter problem and/or bad capacitors, or with video-adapter (card). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Have the same screen. I had the same problem, the solution is soldering a 47 ohm resistor between pins 5 and 6 of the Novatek IC.
Hope it helps!

HI Dex,
Sorry i don't get the meaning "but monitor has just blinking diode and after few minutes it I get desktop"- could you elaborate? What is the complain of the monitor?

Jestine, sorry for bad description. I'll try to explain it better - when I turn on monitor and PC, first I don't have picture on the screen. It’s quite black, and power-button is blinking blue. After few minutes picture (desktop) appears in some low resolution, so I have to change it to normal working hi-res. During the work monitor doesn't make any problems, this happens only if it is cold. If I leave it on 'stand by' during the night, it didn't make this problem and worked fine from the start. I started this 'trick' 2 weeks ago.
I am sorry again for misunderstanding that I made first.
All the best!

Another correction, sorry... Last night I turned off PC and left monitor on. When I turned on PC this morning monitor screen stayed black, and after about 3-4 minutes desktop appeared in its normal, high resolution. While PC was starting and booting, blue power button on monitor was blinking...
So, it seems that if I leave monitor on when PC is not working it won't help a lot. Do you have any idea what can cause this late 'awakening'?

HI Dex,
It seems either the MCU in the mainboard or the crystal have problem but the chances is higher in the MCU. I came across this weird symptom in Samsung Monitor and the cause was a bad MCU.

Hi Dex,
If all the output voltages from the power supply is good then suspect bad MCU.

Thanks a lot Jestine!
I will measure voltages from PSU. If its about MCU, is it enough to try to buy new MCU and replace it, or there I must do something else, too?
Btw, could be it some bad capacitor in PSU area which makes this problem. On internet I saw that those are mostly source of problems in LCD monitors. Of course, I don't doubt your knowledge and experience, just ask...
Thanks, again!

HI Dex,
If the output from the power supply is good then don't suspect the cap. As for the MCU you need to get one that has programs in it. Don't buy a blank MCU.

Hi Jestine.I have problem with LCD HP L1706.The problem is picture flickering.At resolution 1024x768 an refresh rate 60Hz,there is short horizontal flick in random area screen,back light is always on,but on 70 Hz refresh rate and higher also back light start to flicker.I checked PSU (e-caps are fine,voltage is stable).Do you have similar problem? Please help!
Thanks

HI Miki,
Sometimes backlight always on also could have mild flick and the problem is one of the backlight may have problem since you have said that the e-caps and the power supply output voltages are good and stable.

HI Anbalagan,
Please check for bulged filter cap, dry joints in the high voltage transformer or one of the backlight have problem.

I have a PC Monitor(Advueu model ez17j1)and on the inside power side circuit board this white stuff is on the part(Inductor,Diode,Capacitor)what is it and do I have to replace all parts or clean it off.
admin
December 11, 2011 at 8:21 am
HI mark,
If the white stuff is sort of like a rubber then it is a silicone and you can remove it if you want. it is there to prevent vibration.

Jestine Yong

Hi Karik,
Just place the meter at the secondary pin of the high voltage transformer. It should have few LEDs light up and you can compare the result with the other one.

Hi Jestine,
I have a friend bring me a Philips 15" LCD monitor with a problem a few secon sudden shutdown after powering up the unit.I check all the component using DMM like the schottky diode,filter capacitor,capacitor,L5991, signal diode the transformer all found ok in the power supply section.I did not yet check the main board bec.i suspect the power section was the culprit.Can you suggest what more can i do check or it is right that i suspect only the power section?pls. advise..thank in advance..

Hi Jojo,
You need to compare the backlight with a good one because if one of the backlights failure will cause the display to shutdown.

I'm having problem with my HP L1710 LCD monitor. When ON, a few second later the display will turn off....can u find what is the problem?

Hi Systemcrack,
It can be one of he backlights have problem, shorted high voltage transformer, bad e-caps, dry joints and also bad transistors in the inverter circuit. You really need to check that out.

Hi Jestine,
Thanks for ur reply...I have another problem with my Samsung LCD TV.The LCD TV half the screen goes black or dark when On and after an hour it will good again. I already change the MOSFET, capacitor and diode but it still having the same problem...can u give a positive input to me for that LCD TV.

It could be bad backlight, bad high voltage transformer or even buldged e-cap at the secondary side of smps.

How can we change if one of the backlight is defective, can we change only one light or the whole lcd?

Hi Feji,
Usually only one backlight have problem. You need a good one to compare it. You don't need to change all of them.

Hello Jestine,
On the L1706 models I continue to have a problem with blown caps. The three 10v 1000uf that are grouped together at the top of the board always go bad. I replace them using the same low ESR caps that I use for other models, but after a week to a month those same three caps go bad. My boss said that its just something wrong with the board in general and to throw those out. Is there something else on the board that is causing those to expand that can be replaced? Is there something in particular that I should look for? Thank you Jestine.
Jestine Yong
January 30, 2013 at 9:34 am
Hi Adabelle,
Check if the big fat filter cap in the primary side have problem or not. Next, you can replace the three 1000uf 10 volt with 1000uf 16 volt cap. Test it out and see how it goes.

I have this HP L1706 with a constant flickering screen. This happens when cold and stabilizes after sometime. Sometimes the screen turns bluish or reddish. I checked the capacitors and they look ok. The PSU voltages are ok. kindly assist.

Hi Qhaiser,
Possible the problem is the backlight. Try compare with a good one and retest.
