Dell P1110 monitor HV PS repair

[Charles P Lamb]

I have a three year old Dell P1110 monitor which seems to have a failing HV
power supply. The sympotoms are that the display size changes with the
contents of the display and on odd ocassions the picture will disappear for
an instant an I hear an arc snapping. Looking around the news groups and
web sites I have found several people complaining of the same problem. Has
anyone found a solution to this?

Sounds like the FBT may be bad, i.e., the internal capacitor gone low
in value. Schematics in the Sony section here
http://www.geocities.com/monitorss/
Also, on the links page on the same site is a link to a site with info
on how to test FBTs.

I looked at the schematics listed under the Nokia P1110 and the Sony P1110
and neither of them seem to represent this monitor as the front panel
controls are different.

Thanks Wayne,

I've seen a lot of CRT problems with these and the 19" version. They
seem to develop electron gun problems which cause a lot of very odd
symptoms.

I tried contacting Dell but their response was abysmal. After 4 days of
emails they finally admitted that there was a hardware problem. They then
told me to call them at a given number. After calling three different
telephone numbers and speaking with five different people, spending an hour
and a half on the telephone in total, I was told that Dell has NO repair
facilities anywhere in the world. This treatment makes me wonder why anyone
ever buys Dell products.
