HP F1703 backlight blackout problem

by vb_lvr - 1/17/06 8:24 PM In reply to: HP F1703 LCD monitor not working by vb_lvr

I forgot to mention in my previous post, that the 4 white wire harness connectors on FL backlight inverter circuit board located under the silver colored, tinned, RF shield(incorrectly called a heat shield) do not have to be unplugged to make the repair. Once the 4 screws holding the board down are removed, the board can be slid out from the connector mating it to the other circuit board, and then simply flipped over to expose the solder side of the board, and make the resolder repair.

In fact all theses monitors have the same problem in France , too!!The twenty pieces I have come from big french society ,and they are all out of order... I was thinking to made one screen with 3 pieces, but it's impossible! very bad Chinese manufacture, bad design of the circuits, and in more the roof: they all are not same!!What the matter?? charts were made in a Chinese manufacturer, and others elsewhere at another, it is nutcase!!! IRREPARABLES!!! HP is a beautiful swindler who makes manufacture **** in China to make profit! The problem is world, and one is done all to kiss, in France as in the USA... Veiled for laz small history, and I do not have any more whom has to put my screens has the dustbin whereas the breakdown is idiot: it is an amplifier C$$Op which released, but it is untraceable, it should be ordered by 1000 Salut parts has all Alain

HP Pavilion F1703 monitor blackout

by hdzabella - 2/7/06 9:58 AM In reply to: HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor Blackout by germansal

I experienced the same thing with the same monitor, which I have had for just over two years. Yesterday after researching the problem again, I found this HP link:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=c00409521&lc=en

It notes that some of the HP Pavilion f1703 monitors have "hardware issues," which cause the monitors intermittent video, no video, or no backlight. They will replace your monitor if your monitor fits the criteria outlined. I called and my monitor fits! It took a while on the phone (major hassle), however, I will be receiving a new monitor within days! Hope this helps you.

Replacemed my HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor Blackout

by nnaannccyy - 2/27/06 2:53 PM In reply to: HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor Blackout by germansal

I've had the same problems with my HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor that everyone on this site mentions....blackouts. In fact, I'm trying to rush through this message because I don't know how long it will stay working. I just wanted to thank everyone for putting their experiences here because without all their messages I would have never known it was an HP problem. They are sending me a replacement tomorrow and they were extremely nice when they did it.

hp pavilion f1703

by suepip - 3/3/06 8:03 AM In reply to: Replacemed my HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor Blackout by nnaannccyy

I am having the same problems as everyone else on this thread. However its alright if you are in the USA, you can easily get an exchange. I emailed the American site for HP and they informed me they are only authorised to exchange faulty models in the USA. I therefore got in touch with the UK branch and was told to phone a particular number which is next to useless as I couldn't get to speak to a human being.

PLEASE HELP someone, as I am unsure what to do next. There must be other people in the UK with faulty monitors.

Thanks.

Possible Fix For F1503 (maybe F1703)[Power supply too weak]

by nameless84 - 3/29/06 5:58 PM In reply to: HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor Blackout by germansal

It has been previously stated that the power supply is the culprit. Please, do yourself a favour, and check the required input voltage on the back on your monitor to make sure that your power supply can output that amount. I wasted several hours trying to fix this simple problem when a proper power supply was inches away.

BTW: My Mom's, co-worker's F1503 came with a 7.5V - 1.5A power supply when it needed a 12V - 3A power supply. Pretty stupid eh?

1703 Blackout

by argentat - 3/31/06 6:35 AM In reply to: Possible Fix For F1503 (maybe F1703)[Power supply too weak] by nameless84

I took your advice and checked the monitor and the power supply. The monitor is labelled 12V - 3.5A while the power supply's output is rated 12V - 4.16A.

Do I assume correctly that the supply is sufficient for the monitor?

If so, my problem would seem to be elsewhere . . .

To be honest, I am not sure.

To my knowledge, a larger power supply generally cannot hurt, as the device should only take what it needs (to a point anyway). Of course that could be complete disinformation, and it could still be a problem with the power supply, although it seems unlikely.

Hopefully you can borrow a power supply from someone with the required output as you definitely don’t want to buy one on a whim b/c they are really expensive.

Right about power supply

by mrmudge - 10/12/09 9:32 PM In reply to: Reply to argentat by nameless84

I just bought a used model of this monitor. Had the same problem with it suddenly going black or going to power save mode. I did a Google search, found this, and checked the power cord. Sure enough, it was not the original HP power cord, but some cheap Chinese one. I had an extra HP power cord, used that, and now the monitor runs fine. Saved me hours of aggravation I am sure. Thank you for taking the time to post (3 years later after your post).

HPN Pavilion flat screen monitor button won't turn on

by dalegraves - 4/24/06 6:44 AM In reply to: HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor Blackout by germansal

The on/off button was not straight but a little off center. Nothing happened until today when it wouldn't turn on at all. I was searching to see if there was a recall before I contact the company. It's out of warranty but I didn't own it very long!

Just trying to correct the heading typo....I meant HP & not HPN! The on/off button was not straight but a little off center. Nothing happened until today when it wouldn't turn on at all.

It is relatively easy to repair yourself (if capable)!

Only short term fix

by screwHP2 - 6/26/06 10:01 PM In reply to: HERES THE REMEDY by deeh889

Hello hollywood222, please stop confusing other.
Power supply fix is only short term. I tried Toshiba PS, worked for a few months and dead again. Only fixing the dry joints will repair this fxxxg HP rubbish permanent.
