What would cause PC monitor to flicker wildly until warm?
« on: July 13, 2004, 08:26:38 am »
I have a 21" hitachi 802 and on first start, it flickers like a madman for like a minute or 2, then runs fine the rest of the day.  What components would cause this behaviour?  Could it be as simple as bad caps?

Yup, bad electrolytic caps or a bad solder joint on one of them. I say you've got some bad caps.

I guess I'll have to crack the case sooner than I planned on this thing.  i was so dreading downgrading from the 21" back down to a 15"  :'(  I guess that will be motivation to fix it faster...

thanks ken!
