i installed new caps ....powers on ok but monitor still blank...i can see very faint thin horizontal lines that are close spaced at top and get farther spaced tiwards bottom of screen.the lines are white colored.....the monitor is pwring on for sure....just blank....redwire ill try your procedure this week and see if i can get some kind of prompt on the screen.

i did the break key and orange button and nothing shows on screen...just a few thin white horizontal lines...monitor could be bad or the machine is getting pwr but not actually booting up..bad ram..bad cpu etc...i may try selling as is or part it out .
