The repair listed in this string sounds relatively simple for anyone that has experience soldering, but I wouldn't have thought of using a magnifying glass to check each connection. Dell is shipping me a replacement monitor today. According to Dell, I purchased mine in May 2003, but it was still under warranty. I called Dell to trouble shoot the problem, they had me disconnect the monitor from the computer to test it - it remained white. My monitor has the same problem - finally reached the stage where all I had was a white screen. Can I do anything, can it be repaired, or should I make it a boat anchor and buy a new one? Thanks to all for your replies! We purchased it in June 2003 so it's out of warranty. I hooked it up to my desktop syatem with the same results. The Dell flat screen monitor (15" E151FPb) on my daughter's computer goes white and shutting down the system for a while is the only thing that brings it back up - until it decides to do it again. From reading other tech sites seems common to the E151FPb Dell, should be traced back to the person on the production line maybe.
Maybe not enough heat applied in the first place when being built. I have just repaired a dell E151FPb 15" monitor, there were two dry joints on the main power supply board, the solder had completely cracked away from the component pins. i have not had a problem since - been white screen free for over 4 weeks and it feels GREAT:!: :mrgreen: ) i plug it back in - hooked up the cable, turned on my pc and YES:!: :!: it worked. it took about 10 minutes to put everything back together - which gave me ample time to say a very long prayer while doing it. then with trembling paws i dripped the hot solder on the pins and voila!! :p it was done. i located the suspect pins and lo and behold the solders were split and crusty looking whereas all the others were smooth and shiney as they should be. i take this thing apart like i just knew i would never get it back together correctly. :mad: so, i get my small screwdrivers together and my soldering iron and solder. but i figured what the heck? what have i got to lose? if i ruin it i am not out anything because i would have had to replace the monitor anyhow. i am a handy guy but had never done anything that tedious :eek. anyhow, i did get online long enough to discover people discussing the soldering fix. i would do all kinds of things in an attempt to clear it - the self test worked sometimes. i had intermitant occurances for about a week. nothing cleared it so i rebooted several times and it fixed itself. i left my pc on and when i came back 30 minutes later it had the "white screen of death". i have had my 15" fs dell since august 2003.
