The DELL manual for the 1708fpt doesnt describe anything like what the video shows.... it looks to assume you can only change/reset settings only if you are in windows. Link - https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_electronics/esuprt_display/dell-1708fp_user%27s%20guide_en-us.pdf …

I was googling this issue left and right when i had the monitor, some showed a blown surface mount fuse not allowing +12v to the convertor board, others a blown surface mount mosfet, lcd ribbon cable detached, or just an LCD gone bad, i didnt want to open it trying for a repair if not sure exactly …

Not sure if this falls under "Old Hardware" since its a computer monitor, but it was made in 2007 if that makes any difference. I recently visited one of the last remaining mom and pops computer store, they have been around since 1987... i bought a Dell 17" LCD(1708fpt) from 2007 that has both vga …

From what i remember, i think i was having issues with my OPTI 931 card... hence the switch over to the SoundBlaster16 card which i had bought retail back in the late 90s.

Unfortunately i dont have any video/sound capture equipment.... i wouldnt even know where to begin if i tried. I never planned on doing any heavy 3D gaming on my 200mhz WIN95 system, if any, thats what my "rig in sig" is for, figure a good solid 2D 2mb pci videocard would be more than adequate, i …

Ok.... seems the upgrading advice has gone nowhere. So i've decided to put this machine like it was back in my 486 dx4-100mhz days(my 1st computer/mar-1996).... keep the biostar motherboard(486 mb/cpu is gone), keep the WIN95c (only DOS6.22 back then), keep the 1.7gb HDD(original 850mb HDD is gone), …

Great job on replacing the motherboard capacitors..... what did you use to unsolder them with? Figure, if and when i t came time for me to do the same with my motherboards and/or video cards, this unsoldering gun seems top notch, albeit expensive, but highly worth it from the YT videos i've seen. …
