Help with monitor's buttons TIA
-
Hi people, I bought a Fujitsu SL23T-1 monitor ( 2nd hand ) with the intention of making a mirror… but, after taking the screen out and boards etc, I can’t get these buttons to switch the thing on. ( yes, they did switch it on before I took it all apart)
I’ve little experience of these types of buttons but are the connectors fairly universal? Or control board specific? To be honest I’m not really sure of what they’re called to be able to search for them online
Any help and advice is very welcome. -

i see lights… not buttons
-
@sdetweil Correct, but these switch the monitor on and off.
-
@sqz0 and what are the two.pics?
Lit and not lit?
-
@sdetweil the two pictures show the lights illuminated and unilluminated, possibly indicating a psu error. Can you advise?
-
@sqz0 flashing state,
-
@sqz0 got no idea

@sdetweil thanks for your input. Do you have any opinion on the other questions asked? Apologies for the lack of precise details, but would you know if I could purchase a set of actual buttons which could be used control the board? Would you know if these connections are universal or board specific?

@sqz0 no, sorry, i do not

Google says that this monitor has touch sensing keys. I think some needed components for the keys is left in the bezel. Maybe glued from the back or infused in the bezel itself. Try to put only the keys on their place in the bezel and see if they work again.
I don’t think you can change them to other keys so you might need an other monitor or you try to make the original keys work. Maybe you can cut the needed componentes out of the bezel if you don’t want to reassemble the monitor.
Or you setting up the monitor like you need it and hopefully it will keep its setting after a power loss.

@thisistheplace Thank you, this is sound advice. I’ll give your suggestions a try after rescuing the bezel from the rubbish bins :) failing that, I’m guessing a cheap Chinese control board is the only option left to try. Thank you again for your time and help :)
