Hi everyone,
First off, congrats with your terrific forum!
Let me first introduce a little: I'm from Belgium, have fair electrical skills, but only 'some basic' electronic skills.
My situation:
I have just recently acquired a 2nd Syncmaster 245B from ebay with the purpose to use 2 of these 90° rotated in dual view.
Unfortunately the new arrived monitor displays no image at all.
- no image at all
- blue led shows when powered on
- blue led starts to blink when PC goes to sleep
- PC recognizes monitor (both Win 7 and Ubuntu)
- tested on multiple PC's
I've already managed to open up the monitor, and took some photo's.
I'm putting them up on Flickr. I guess that's ok for the forum rules?

At first sight I see no bulging caps. I've checked 4 fuses, 2 glass type and 2 others following pictures and advice here on the forum.
Now I'd like to start measuring some tensions.
Question:
Is it ok to power the monitor with the backlight and the LCD connector disconnected?
Thanks for your support!
Erwin
