I've got two Vewlix Dia Blues with P32L050 monitors. A few months back one of them stopped displaying an image. Power etc to the monitor is fine and it's powering on and I know it's at least getting a signal as you can see the displayed input resolution via the OSD but no image is displayed. I tried both DVI and VGA inputs with different sources and the result is the same.
As I have two cabs with identical monitors I stripped them down and swapped PCBs to narrow down where the issue lies and this pointed me towards the Toshiba V28A00122300 PCB, this fella:
I was speaking with @Monstermug and he suggested shotgunning the [THC63LVDM83D ICs] as they sounded like they could be the culprit.
I ordered some from ebay..... and this is how they arrived
I'm sure rattling around in a zip lock bag as they made their merry way to be will have done them no end of good
I mean, they may be fake but at least give them a chance!
Anyway, @Monstermug kindly changed them for me but sadly this made no difference. The chips could be fake, damaged or this just isn't the issue. There is a BGA on the board which it could be, and will be a bitch to swap out.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had the same or similar issues with this monitor?
I've since picked up two LG 32GN550 monitors to swap in but I would like to fix this one and keep the OG displays too if possible.
I've put up a [wanted post] for one of these just in case someone has a broken P32L050 sitting around somewhere, hopefully not with the same issue
