I have a Dell monitor, a 2005fpw. It used to work fine untill a year go. A long time ago, it would very rarely "Reboot". The screen would go black for a breif seocnd, then the Dell "Image Perfection" screen would come up, and everything would be fine. THis may be accompinied by a loud "Whine" or "hiss" noise. This got MUCH worse over the past few months.
Now when starting it up, the screen is EXTREMELY flickery on a cold start. Example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh-7-6Yb0Oc
The flickering slowly goes away. I ordered some caps and plan to repair the flickering myself.
However, I have a second, really bad issue. Often, my monitor suddenly turns off and tries to reboot constantly. THis seems to happen more often if the image being displayed is "Bright" like a white backround, the screen just shuts off, then it tries to start up to the "Image perfection" (More like image IMperfection if you ask me.) screen, just to shut off again.
Like it goes black, then you see the backlight come on, it whines for a breif second, then just shuts off again, then tries to start it up again and so on. the power button does nothing and the monitor has to be physically unplugged to stop it. Please help.
I'll post pictures tomorrow as the camrea my sister has is utter garbage. I have it opened up and am waiting for my soldering iron to come in. No caps seem damaged on the logic board or power board, no obvious cap failures. No leaking fluid or bulged caps. (Quite a few on the power board seem to be covered in a white goop, seems like glue.)
