I've been clicking around and around.. I can't find out where to get a 24" Dell LCD monitor screen replacement. Per chance anyone know where to go for Dell parts. Or.. is this going to be one of those things where the replacement part is as expensive as the whole monitor?

Factor in your time and annoyance, might as well buy two new ones.

For the most part, they only repair high end stuff. Anyway, the prices are on the website.

One another site I did find out something... http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1339699 The Dell monitor I might fix is really a Samsung.. Dell 2408WFP 6ms G2G 24"WS Samsung S-PVA (LTM240CS05) Ha..

The part number of the screen is on the back. But you're better of finding another monitor with a different defect or buy a new one. -- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply indicates you are not using the right tools...

Or... the older ones did that. These days, they often have weird hybrid ICs which seem to have everything possible, including the kitchen sink, in them (in other words, you can't find a simple English phrase to describe their function since they have often a number of partial functions tossed together in them.) I haven't opened up, for fixing, a monitor in years. Only to salvage parts, lately. But the serious stress, with high refresh rates and big screens requiring higher voltages, is in that horizontal circuit. That's where the volts/second are murder and where I tend to start first, if the external observation appears to suggest that problem. I also think those transistors are getting harder to find -- and FABs don't like making them, I suspect. (Probably just waiting for the day that cathode ray tubes die a final death.) And parts for monitors, in general, aren't easy to find for hobbyist types, anymore. Years ago, I visited a repair facility. As miso mentions, they also focused on the higher end monitors. Because, as they said, they couldn't afford to spend the time needed to actually repair the cheap monitors. Buying a new one would often cost less than their labor costs to open a dead one and intelligently look around for the problem -- let alone fix it, afterwards. Can you describe the problem, at least? Someone (probably not me) may be better able to make a suggestion of where to look. Jon

Thought I'd try to rescue..Unless you have one with a good screen and need the psu's or video board don't waste your time. I see many like that, they just end up in landfill. -- Best Regards: Baron.

Though I do have some salvaged screens, most of the time they are not worth the space to keep them. By the time you have added a labour charge its cheaper to buy a new monitor.> I'm assuming it's a pita to order a screen from the 'Happy Pixel > Factory' in China.YMMV. How many dead pixels will you accept ?> huh.. the things I find on wiki.. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_monitors-- Best Regards: Baron.
