(Lesson learned.) The tape however does the job ofĪ 12V 2.1mm barrel connector of the cheapest plastic kind was used as the power connector, andĪttached to the side of the assembly with hot-melt adhesive. This is an artefact of bad measurement, using the display panelĪs a master instead of the inner side of the frame. This turned out to be an expedient but surprisingly workable solution.Īs the glass panel was found to be exactly matching the inner edge of the frame, a length of kapton As it was found that the assembly is now a little bit thicker than the original,Īnd the latches on the frame do not clip on anymore, adhesive tape was used to hold the frame The aluminium frame of the display was then placed over To serve as the work surface of the table. To mask the light leakage from the other end of the backlight.Ī layer of 2mm thick glass, cut to exactly the size of the original LCD panel, was placed over the backlight, A thin strip of black tape was used on the other side At the end, individual pieces of kapton tape were used to hold the LEDsĪ strip of black paper was placed over the LEDs and a centimeter-wide strip of the diffuser, toĬonceal the uneven light cones coming from the LEDs. Together with the original fluorescent tube holder to press them against the diffuser was alsoįound to not be optimal. Using little pieces of adhesive foams on the LED backsides Hot glue was attempted with low success itĭid not satisfyingly bond to the LED cases. The LEDs were bonded to the side of the diffuser. The ends of the chains were soldered together. With terminal wires of uneven lengths but adding to the width of the display panel bottom, with (In retrospect, a long thin strip of copper-clad would be better.) Five chains were prepared, Thin enameled wire was used to interconnect the LEDs. 1206 SMD resistor was chosen, and attachedĭirectly to the terminal LED in the chain. Strings of 3 LEDs each, with a 100-ohm resistor. The diode lit up veryīright, then in matter of seconds its brightness gradually diminished to almost zero,Īs the desired operation was from a 12V power supply, the topology was decided to be five (This turned out to be wise, as one was killed inĮarly testing when an order of magnitude smaller resistor was used.

White SMD LEDs in the PLCC2 case (120°, 600-1200 mcd, ~3.3V, 20mA) were obtained.Ģ0 pieces was bought, 15 were needed.

The cracked LCD panel was removed and set aside for salvaging the polarizing filters. The backlightĭiffusers, made from optical-quality plastic and several layers of micropatterned foils, The displays were allĬracked and the backlight CCFL tubes were either missing or broken. Several discarded LCDs were obtained from a laptop repair shop.

It is usedįor looking at film, diapositive slides, xray films, tracing stuff on paper, and manyĪ thin, lightweight and easily portable light table was desired to have in a workshop.Ī liquid crystal display is a light table, with a LCD panel laid over it.

Press the N key to enter LCD-integrated self-test mode when you see the message Do you see the color bars? Yes/No.A light table is a surface with light evenly shining through.

The preboot computer assessment runs a series of tests on the computer.Use the arrow keys on the keyboard and select Diagnostics, and press the Enter key.Turn on the computer and tap the F12 key several times until the One Time Boot Menu appears.Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.The screen changes colors to black, white, red, green, and blue.Continue to hold the D key until you see the entire screen change colors. Press and hold the D key and turn on the computer to enter the LCD built-in self-test (BIST) mode.Ensure that the LCD screen is clean (no dust particles are on the surface of the screen).Disconnect any devices that are connected to the computer, and connect the AC Adapter (charger).When you notice screen abnormalities like flickering, distortion, clarity issues, fuzzy or blurry images, horizontal or vertical lines, color fade, running a diagnostic test on the LCD helps identify if the issue is with the LCD panel. Dell laptops have integrated diagnostic tools that can determine if the screen abnormality is an inherent problem with the LCD screen of the Dell laptop or with the video card (GPU) and computer settings.
