Compare Repair LCD Power Supply The Easy Way
Troubleshooting LCD monitor power supply pack is easier than the crt monitor power supply. It is small and compact and usually has only one output which is 12 volts and 2 amps range from to over 4 amps. Some designed have 18 and 24 volts also. Nowadays most LCD power supplies are build into the main board such as the Dell E151FP LCD Monitor while the older type were separated as power pack module.
The power pack module type is easy to diagnose because you can replace another working unit just to make sure the power pack that is giving problem. You may also use an external dc power supply to power up the LCD to confirm if the power pack is faulty. If you do not have the external dc power supply, you can always usethis method to isolate the problem especially the symptoms are no power, low power and power blink. Using the rear light bulb (12 volt) from a car and connect it to the power pack output jack. If it light brightly then the power pack is okay. If it blink or dim the power pack have problem. Why have to use this method to test it? Because, if there are components were shorted or leaky at the LCD main board, it will affect the power supply performance.
From experienced, most of the LCD power supply problems whether in the power pack or built into main board were due to the failure of electrolytic capacitors (most probably due to heat) in the primary and secondary section. Most of the capacitors have a high ESR which causes the power supply to produce low, blink or no outputpower at all. Typical value electrolytic capacitors in the primary side are 47 and 100 micro farad 50 Volts and the secondary sides are 1000 to 2200 micro farad 25 volts. Sometimes you can see the top casing became bulge capacitor and the sleeve that covered the capacitor casing turned into darker color like rock.
The power section in some of the LCD screen are still using the UC3842 pulse width modulation (pwm) ic. This type of ic is quite easy to find in the market appear to some power ic which is very difficult to get. 153V Samsung LCD monitor is using the power TOP247F ic which is quite easy to troubleshoot if power fail in this model. Some power pack that came in only have lighter burnt and after cleaning it and replaced the fuse, it will work as goodas the new one.
Troubleshooting LCD power supply is not that difficult provided if you know how to power supply work.

I will continue to post more power supplies articles at that page and hope you could drop by more often to check out my website.
