Hello to everyone!
My father's monitor started to blink and my father used a toothpick to keep the two middle buttons pushed together (right arrow and left arrow). This temporarly solved the problem. My father was able to use the monitor with no problems for a month or two.
One day the monitor stopped working. Now it is not possible to start it, no led, no light no signs of life.
I opened it and i see no signs of bad capacitors. Everything looks fine.
The big capacitor (450v, 100 uF) though, even if it is not bulged or anything. it is a bit dirty, a slight black dirt I can rub off with my finger. Also the metal board lid is dirty in proximity of the capacitor. I don't know if this is normal due to the heat or if it could be a sign of bad capacitor.
Does anybody have any idea of what it could be and where shoul I look for a solution?
thank you very much!
Picture of the board attached. If you need some more picture plese tell me.
