what did I do?!

Post by Edgecrusher »

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I screwed up in this PC monitor. It's a HP Pavilion MX70. It looked great, and then I got into the back, pulling the board off the tube. Usually I'm really good at putting things back where I found them but this time I ended up with this white screen. I thought it was just all white but if I que up the OSD I can faintly see it. I tried getting a good picture to show you. I'm hoping the problem is pretty obvious and someone better than me will be able say what it is since I just disconnected plugs and didn't change anything.

"what did I do?!"
You fucked up bro, thats what you did.

j/k (but not really) :mrgreen: If it was beautiful, why the heck were you taking it apart? Big no no, lol.

Recheck all the plugs you removed, unplug and reseat them all, something is causing all your RGB signals to turn on. Maybe something is shorting to ground or to another signal wire, check to make sure any shielding is not pinching wires, etc.

The ol' sage adage: "If it ain't broke, don't try to take it apart/try to fix it" is the best advice to take heed -- a lesson well learned "the hard way."

I was looking to RGB mod it. Then I realized I didn't need to.
I'm sure I can get it back. I just needed a little help explaining what it is doing. So you think all the RGB is turned on, well that makes sense. I'll take another look.
Thanks wish me luck
