Protip: You might be able to shine a light on the monitor and see the outline of whatever it's supposed to display (works best with text) even if the backlight is broken. If _that_ shows weird shapes, it might not only be the backlight that's broken 😳

@acumenium8157

2 жыл бұрын

Neither part of this is a guarantee for all LCD screens. Sometimes a screen will refuse to display anything if the backlight doesn't work. The Nintendo Switch is like this. Sometimes the display itself breaking will interfere with the backlight---I believe this is also on the Switch, where if any part of the display stops working, the backlight does too. Some laptops will also be similar. You did give good advice, but LCDs are really annoying as there is absolutely no standard amongst them on how they work or how they fail.

I mean, I "fixed" a Wii with a dead disk drive by just installing the Homebrew mod, so games can run from SD or USB drive. Depending on what you need to fix you might not even need a soldering iron. In the same way installing a SSD in an old laptop or desktop can give it a lot of new life, even moreso with a lightweight version of Linux installed instead of Windows, and Linux is quite easy to use in many ways now and will regularly run magnitudes faster than Windows on the same hardware. So yeah, start with "fixes" that you can understand and manage and scale up where you can!

I've "repaired" two monitors by replacing the power boards entirely. Usually they cost around 30 USD. It's more wasteful and not as cool, but I have two 1080p lcd monitors that cost me 60 dollars in total. I just don't have the soldering and diagnostics skills for a more advanced repair.

This video inspired me to repair an old monitor, and it now works! Thank you!

Your videos are seriously sick man, keep up the great work!

Lol, when you broke out the sensual descriptions it reminded me of greasy moose, similar regional accent i think, but also the way you oozed out your hushed words, dripping with erogeny

6 minutes and 44 seconds well spent, great job Matt.

been binge watching your old content about windows 98 since im a new sub. I'm surprised you uploaded a new video. Nice 👌

hell yeah, new mattkc upload

These videos are super entertaining. You're really on the rise if you keep going like this :-)

This is the only channel I have the notifications bell turned on for.

For some reason I just love watching mattkc open up old technology and fix it

Exactly what happened to my old monitor from 2007 and TV of the same era. Loud popping sound with a puff of smoke coming from the top. Just bought new ones because they were so old, but at least I now know what exploding caps sound like in real life.

3:40 - I had repaired an acer monitor one time and the board was clicked in the same way as this board. This actually is because this prevents the board from popping out of the metal case. At that time the power supply port was ditched in and the board got stuck because the tape on the metal case was not tight enough. After 2 hours I got it to work again!

Your poke at the game gear is legendary

I have never watched anyone do anything to do with electronics. Never seen any console modding or anything like this but I’ve now binge watched a tonne of ur videos and it actually is so interesting wtf

I just did this to an Acer monitor last month. I had to ask for caps as they were all behind the counter; there must have been some serious mixups

A couple of weeks ago I did this but with salvaged caps from various scrap electronics and now my 10 yr old 1080p monitor is back!

Your voice is so excessively pleasant, I've accidentally fallen asleep while on break at work while watching your videos.

i was just watching my favourite mattkc but then my notification made me watch my new favourite mattkc

This video was incredibly funny! Good Job Matt!

I admire your editing

lovely content, keep up the good work

the same thing happened to the of the monitors my dad brought from work, and of course a capacitor failed. Replaced it and now oy works.

The 8-bit guy graphic was awesome.

glad you're back please come back

Thanks to you i have a second monitor, thanks. (Actually my issue was worse than just faulty caps, the inverter was also ded. I changed it but only one lamp works)

Recently found your channel, love it!

Electrolytic Capacitors have a Polarity the stripe side mostly with a dash - is negative also the side also with the shorter lead. The board usually has the polarity stenciled on the board. This one has a dash - negative. On higher voltage boards if you have the wrong polarity they will blow with a hiss and release a smelly smoke. Just to help out and it may have already been mentioned in the comments.

yeah, those models are known for making problems, i personally have two of the exact same models that yours but with the grey border and one of them hava a lack of red and the other have a very dark gamma, both of wich can be tweaked in the nvidia control panel but that makes using those monitor with consoles or anything else pretty dificult

I had a monitor that worked, but it kept rebooting like it had been unplugged: initial logo screen and everything (not just standby). I threw it away, but now I’m thinking I might try a repair next time. :-) thanks for the encouragement!

That intro was truly exquisite 20 out of 10

Great video Matt I learned somethin

Man I was JUST looking at your old vids and wondering when he was uploading

Ah yes, I have the exact same monitor. My backlight died years ago as well and after replacing all caps, even the AC filter cap, it worked again. Mine didn’t look that worse as these, except for the AC cap that even leaked, but they were all bad. I used it from there on again until recently when I upgraded to bigger screens at last, using this one for my G3 PowerMac now. It’s funny seeing this exact model with a dead backlight in need of a cap replace. This is a good video, it should help a lot of people figuring out what’s going on. Good one!

My fav channel for soft capacitor corn

this is a new piece of art

Always, always, always make sure you discharge your capacitors before meddling with them. Even if the machine has been offline for quite some time, the capacitors can still be charged. Sometimes they, especially those used in the rectification, can store a lot of energy.

i was just watching matt kc and then i saw he uploaded again, nice.

That cut with the towel is godlike I think you need to hear that since i‘m the only one who noticed it

After watching his Windows 98 videos recently, I expected this monitor fix to be way more complicated than just replacing capacitors.

The intro was EPIC

I fixed my free tv like this. It was p good as far as tvs went. Capacitor plague is common among the olevia 242 t11

how does matt make it fun to watch someone fix a dead monitor

My monitor once had a weird bug and it's like the osd got stuck or maybe the button was being pressed all the time which meant it didn't work, it took it apart, didn't do anything apart from looking at like being like "yeah whatever if it's dead, at least I'm learning some things" I put it back together and it works to this day

I need to do a similar repair on two far newer monitors I have. But I haven't made the time (or put aside the funds) to get the soldering kit yet. Really need to do it lol. This video is actually the most useful I've been able to find on the topic, so thanks! \o/ I might just have enough knowledge now to do what I need to do (pending soldering kit stuff).

you can check for brocken backlight via using a flashlight or phone and you should see a dimm screen from different angles

Please make sure to always ground & discharge all capacitors first, when dicking around with the internals.

hehe deez nuts. Perfect

Well done for keeping repairable objects out of landfill!

I love how he used the same intro as the XB360 thumbstick video.

When the cylinder shaped electrolitic capacitors fail, the often get domed tops or leak liquid at the bottom. The cap thats next to the one you replaced looks suspiciously domed... just keep an eye out.

My sister has this exact monitor in her room. It's been serving us for about a decade, and it works well, even thought it had a lowish resolution of 1440x900.

My precious time was not wasted. Joy is fulfilled.
