return or buy new one

There are two models of the E151fpb. the earlier models have weak solder points that need to be re-soldered. the newer versions have other problems. If your monitor works for a little while, then goes white, then i'd look at the buck resistor at the upper right hand corner of the power/inverter board and resolder the pins. I use a 5X mag glass to spot the defect. I've repaired and resold 5 of these so far.


I tried to post a photo of the board, but I can't for some reason.

Everybody in the industry, but not consumers, knows about the 'white screen' problem because it's happened on every computer part using capacitors built one year. It's the pixel controller and not the lamp one on LCDs.

Some years ago one capacitor manufacturing company reduced the costs of making capacitors. All capacitor manufacturers thought this such a grand idea they did the cost cutting as well. After a year the capacitors started going bad on all kinds of pcb boards. There was almost no news about this problem at the time. I forget where I read about this, but is was around a year after they started.

The capacitor bulges at the top and sometimes erupts. I have no idea what the eruption is. This did happen to my nice ASUS motherboard, but I didn't know until my computer would just go off. Not even the BSOD, just off. I forget how long I could use it before it would die, but I think it was about an hour or two after turning it on.

My current LCD monitor has this problem. I haven't a clue what a capacitor does but someone with skill can replace them. I have read that some folks have tried changing them on their LCD monitors with very short term success. A day or two. However, there is a recent blog entry that has pics & steps to successfully do this. I am definitely going to try this.

Peace

Don't waste money to repair it.
Just buy a now one.

I had the same problem with a Dell 1707FPc. Blank screen no self testing at all would work.
I called Dell and they gave me a hard time about the warranty being expired but eventually they sent me a brand new replacement.
I have to say I was surprised. I was expecting the whole "sorry can't help you" but they did.

i'm having the same problem with my hp laptop, i got it a year ago & already i'm having trouble with it. this is the first time the screen has turned white. i have never had this problem. my computar wasnt charged so when i turned it on it shut down. then i put it to charge and the white screen came up. i turned the computar off and on a couple of times. then finally it wasnt white! and i looked at my charging status and i only had 5 % percent available. i hope that wasn't the problem. but anyways i browsed the web and i found out that if you press the HOME button and the up botton and wait till the screen turns black it's repaired. I have tried this but it doesn't work. but many others said it does work.I've also found out that it might be something with the hard drive ( i hope not).

I have a no name 19 lcd flat. I just replaced 6 capacitors. found them online by reading the sides of the old ones. They store electricity, to the person who didn't know what they did. Anyway, the good news is I went from no screen comming on at all to this white screen of death. So I guess thats at least an improvement. going to recheck my joints since my soldiaring skills are lacking. and thats putting it extremly mildly, especialy since I see people here using magnifying glasses and all. hoping I may have plgged something up wrong and not damaged it.

thanks

I am having the same problem except I can't get rid of the white screen even by shutting it off. The whole screen is just white. I did unplug everything from the wall and the unit but nothing has worked so far. I would appreciate some ideas.
