Steps to fix (if you're comfortable with electronics)
- Check power supply rails – Measure 3.3V and 5V at the display connector. Look for AC ripple. Anything over 100mV AC on 3.3V is a problem.
- Reflow the EEPROM – Locate the 8‑pin IC (often a 24Cxx series). Apply flux and reflow with hot air (or carefully with a fine tip iron).
- Replace capacitors – On the logic board, replace all electrolytics 10µF–1000µF in the regulator section. Pay attention to low‑ESR types.
- Bypass the backlight test – Temporarily disconnect the backlight power. If the error changes or disappears, the CCFL/inverter is bad.
