    Help me fixing my LCD monitor!

    My LCD broke down and I decided to do something on it myself. The problem is that I have no idea how to fix it. So I searched on the internet and luckily found this helpful forum. I believe there is somebody who knows well about this matter.

    Symptom : 1. At the first stage, the monitor's power light LED kept changing from orange to green and then green to orange while my computer was in 'sleep mode'. It showed me a color adjustment screen(stripes of Red, Cyan and Green) when the LED turned green. Normally it used to stay in orange when it got no signal from computer although its power was on. And the problem started when I woke up my computer by shaking the mouse.

    2. The power LED started to blink rapidly. The color was green. And I couldn't see anything on my monitor. Sometimes the LED stayed in green not blinking but I could see it slowly gets to blink dimmly again.

    I thought there's a problem on capacitors, so I checked everyone of them after buying an analogue tester. From some caps I got no reaction on my tester.

    Question :
    I tried to order caps. One question I still don't have an answer to is whether the ceramic capacitor on the board is for AC or DC. I know the home electricity is AC but I'm not sure if all the parts on LCD board are for AC.

    Since I cannot be sure if it will revive after I change all the suspicous parts, I would like to consult somebody. Will there be anywhere I should consider checking also?

    Thank you very much for reading.

    Hello xboomz
    A couple of suggestions if I may, wait for help before ordering anything as you will need it to fix this monitor, also it is better if you repost in the Badcaps Troubleshooting Computer Displays forum (for monitors etc) as you will find loads of great help there
    Give as much info as you can such as Make and Model etc as well as the problems you are encountering
    I see lots of your caps are going to be difficult to get at (electrolic under heatsinks)
    As for the blue ceramic caps they rarely fail and some parts of the board are AC and some DC
    so best get help first
