I did a search of the forums, googling the issue is actually what led me here, and i have similar issues as the other poster but it behaves different then his so i figured i would start a new thread just to be safe.
The issue im having is that the monitor will work fine for a while then starts doing the "2 seconds to black" thing sometimes five or ten minutes later it will stop doing that and start to work fine and stay working for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours and then start to go out and other times it might be a few hours before i can get any use out of it again.
I tried the flashlight test and decided it was a bad inverter board but in the other post they mentioned it could be something causing the board to turn itself off as a safety feature and since mine works fine sometimes but acts up other times i wasnt sure.
Anyone know if this would be an easy fix for someone with no soldering skills, or would i be better off to just call it dead and get a new monitor?
