Thread necromancy here! I just attempted this repair and in my rusty, sleepy state, I grabbed a 47-ohm resistor instead of 47k and dropped it into R26. Obviously, it didn't work--the fuse blew in a glorious show of light. At this point, I'm game for replacing it again with the correct...

So far, no luck on the display stands independent of the product itself, but if anyone here would ever be willing to part with the bulky wonder, perhaps some form of payment could be arranged. To reiterate, I'm looking to acquire an extra base (control module not necessary) from which to begin...

I sent an email to BenQ asking if they have any thoughts on sourcing a pair of display stands. I'd also be curious about finding the differences between the FP241W and FP241VW inner structure. It seems probable that they are mechanically very similar, with the control modules relocated to the...

Having purchased a Soyo 24D6 and a BenQ FP241VW, I give the BenQ my strongest recommendation for purchase. The stand may be silly in a dual-monitor arrangement, but the display is fantastic. Once I configured the brightness to appropriate levels and made some slight color changes, it was...

Seems my my post was eaten by the great internet gremlins. I'm looking to do a stand amputation on my FP241VW with the hope of making it more VESA-friendly, similar to what 10e did with his model. In all likelihood, I'll be eliminating the USB ports entirely in an effort to simplify the...

Bam! Proud owner of a thoroughly used Soyo Topaz D6 here. It's definitely a VA panel, armed with no dead pixels and a vigorous break-in period as the display for our store. The Omax employee discount was finally worth something. ;) When it went on clearance, I snatched it up as fast as I could.

Funny that you mention it today. I just purchased one last night at $450 before shipping. Not a bad deal, but certainly a nice extra percentage off :p

the NEC and Eizo are both high on my "want" list, but are too far above my range of affordability to be considered viable options. I managed to get the dell at $480, so it was quite a steal for me. The BenQ is increasingly difficult to find new, but I've been looking around. I'll most...

So here goes the post. I've spent some time over the past few months dwelling over an upgrade for my workstation. I did the research, attempted to design a system around my usage habits and optimized the entire environment to best fit what I believed I'd be trying to do. Part of my plan was...

I purchased a Dell 2408WFP a few days back with the intention of both designing for sRGB and general use. Regrettably, the gamut on this display is so wide that it simply makes casual use in non-profiled applications unbearable. Reds and greens are both severely blown out (as one would...

First off, thanks for the responses. It can sometimes be difficult to get good information from the cloud of minds that is the internet. Anyhoo, I was lassoed by the boss this evening and during the time I was expecting to be configuring the server, was forced to sit and listen to an only...

Well, my preference would be to avoid seizing and instead do a proper transition, removing the corrupt users and any damaged data before the attempt, but I'm not opposed to it. Would this allow the original domain controller to remain (technically) active a drop-in backup if the need arises...

So domains aren't usually my territory, but I believe I have a functional understanding of this manner of system. Anyway, the problems I'm encountering (seemingly) simple ones offset by the fact that I am, for all intents and purposes, completely green when it comes to domains. The local...

Sort of a bump. Decisions need to be made and two options exist. The drive in question can either be fit into an external USB enclosure which *is* confirmed as being compatible with the drive, or it can be returned and exchanged for a product of greater compatibility. However, I'm curious...

Samsung Spinpoint F1 750gb, Model No. HD753LJ I've been reading cases where people do actually appear to have this drive working on the board (Asus K8V-X, VIA K8T800 NB, VIA VT8237 SB), but this evidence only manifested itself after purchase. Anyway, an exchange seems likely. If anyone could...
