  • How to repair a white screen Asus VG278 monitor.
    MOSET is location Q308 has shorted and cause the SMD fuse to blow. This is all on the LCD flex board (T-con built into the LCD flex).
    The original mosfet is a part number 12H34
    I replaced it with a AO3400 AO9T Specs: N-Channel, VDS 30V, ID 5.7 A Package SOT-23

      For what it's worth, you might be able to work past that stripped screw if you carefully drill it down so that the head comes away and you can continue working from there. Mine failed again pretty quickly when I used A09T MOSFETs so I bought some 12H34s from aliexpress and those worked great for me. I've since doubled the recorded working hours on the monitor and I've had no problems at all :) Well worth the time if you can do it

  • @deankay4434
    @deankay4434 3 года назад

    TV, Laptop or car, Best Practices work. What do I mean? Confirm the complaint, next do some simple checks while getting a lay of the circuit(s). Do a good visual as you may see the possible problem like signs or hot areas or discolored spots, replace the obvious but check to see if the problem is still there and confirm the part you removed is good or bad. This helps with confidence to move forward as you said, “Something made the fuse open”.
    Follow the circuit, simple quick test as the DMM on diode setting produces some voltage as diodes have a 0.7 volt drop. The mosfet is used as a switch & 95% are “N” channel type. If the numbers can be read, chances are you can find it or specs to help get a different brand. If in doubt, always go slightly bigger in amps, voltage or both. I miss the days the diagrams was on paper and under the back cover. At least many print it on the PC board. Nicely done.

    God bless you!
    I have an ASUS VS24A with very similar problem - black screen, no logo, but when connected though a HDMI cable to a laptop, the computer recognizes the monitor, however no images are shown
    ASUS has suggested me to take it to an authorized shop but the cost was higher than a new monitor in Brazil.
    The problem started some 2 years ago when it went black and standby led was not turning on.
    I checked the power suply and replaced some inflated capacitors, a Mosfet 70Amps etc
    The standby light now turns on, backlight lamps are lit, etc but no images are formed
    I cheched the voltages goint to the ribbon cables tha connects to the monitor circuitry and the voltages there are 1.3xx Volts not 12V
    Without the schematicas (denied by ASUS) I have no clues as to what voltages should be supplied form the power supply board to the video card. There should be a 12V going through?
    Could you please offer some help?
    Thanks in advance and again congrats on the nice job

The reason I am asking is because there are a lot of us that have this unit and from what I can tell is the Garmin Navigation board is causing the unit to stay in standby mode. I have found where one youtuber has taken the board out and refloated the chips and it starts working after that.

    I am assuming it's some if not almost all the capacitors running on dead. which i assume should be easy to repair but this is an assumpton, the screen does go white but not always. it mainly shows asus logo for a split second then blacks out for 10 to 30 seconds. then trys again each time the logo will stay on a microsecond longer till it blinks for 2 seconds then shows a desktop then after 3 more blinks it stays on desktop .

      It's been a while since I've had one of these apart, but I think the bezel just snaps on. So you might just have to carefully use a spudger to unclip the bezel if you can't find any screws.

    Thanks for the info. I have the same issue but I can't seem to get it fixed. It was shorted but the fuse wasn't blown. I replaced the transistor and it fixed the short. Replaced it and still no short so we're good there. Still just got the same white screen, so I also replaced the fuse in case it was damaged, but again, no dice, just a white screen.

    Hi I have an LG 240hz display that has the same brand of panel, so the same kind of T-CON board (27m14-c05) and it has this issue. The fuse on 12v was never blown and still reads just okay but the same q308 mosfet is the problem causing shorts to ground. I have changed out the damaged 12h34 for a A09T like in the video, once its removed all shorts are gone but when the display is turned on the mosfet suffers a drain + source short and blows, with the white screen problem repeating itself. I've tested the blown mosfets after removing them and the gate doesnt have a short, just the drain and source. I also tested other components around the P303-19 for shorts or damage but everything seems to be reading just fine so I dont know why it keeps on blowing. i also have tested the monitor mainboard without the panel connected and the 12 volts reads good. may I need to try a different type of mosfet? and do you have any recommendation? thank you
