    BenQ G2420HDB 2STB

    I appreciate having this available. I have a BenQ G2420HDB 24 inch monitor and I was getting the two seconds and then black.

    I opened it up and took a lot at the capacitors and they looked fine. I had out my multimeter testing what I could. It all looked fine, so I didn't want to take it any further. Honestly, I don't want to spend the time to go through the CFLs.

    Anyway, I put it back together and gave it one last test. Except this time it was good for two seconds and then it greatly dimmed. The screen is still there and I can see my desktop, it's just very dark.

    Maybe with what is happening now I can at least pin point what is going wrong? Does anyone know?

      You have read the 2 sec to black so you know what is involved either you want to try fix it or you cant spare the time- which is it.

        It isn't one or the other. If my car wasn't working, I wouldn't rebuild my engine because I simply don't have the time, but I do have the time to switch out spark plugs, redo wiring, etc.

        The point I was making is that when I put the monitor back together it BEHAVED differently than when I took it apart. Instead of going black, it went to a dark dim. So my question wasn't about fixing it, but whether this shed light on a particular problem area. If the dimming (instead of black) means that it's probably the CFLs, I'll simply leave the monitor by the trash. If it signals a loose capacitor or transistor connection, I'd probably open it up.

        I hope this illustrates my intentions with the question I asked.

          If you are going to trash it, PM me. I'll have a friend who lives in Calgary pick it up.

          If it signals a loose capacitor or transistor connection, I'd probably open it up.
          Now having said that, 2 seconds to black can be

          a) bad caps
          b) bad ccfls
          c) bad ccfl wiring (especially the return wiring)
          d) bad secondary windings on the inverter transformer
