Help with LCD Display Problem (1/23/13 - Parallel Monitors Tested)
stripe4:
If your monitor is not covered by warranty anymore, disassemble it and check for bulging or leaking capacitors on the inverter board:

That is what I would start with. :)

Thanks Stripe. This might be a bit above my pay grade, but I'll take a look.

It's not that difficult. Simple through-hole desoldering and re-soldering.
Jot down the specs on the caps that even remotely look bad.
-- Capacitance in uF
-- Voltage
-- Temperature (105 C or 85 C)
-- Height and diameter (usually in mm)
-- Lead spacing (probably not needed, but good to verify)
If you have trouble finding replacements, I'll help you. :cheers:
