Picked this up from the body shop at my job at an auto dealership. Very dusty atmosphere; lots of dust had made its way into the PCB.
Monitor powers up for 2 seconds, then goes black. Edit: Image IS viewable with a flashlight.
I opened the case, removed the inverter board, and re-flowed the solder on the inverter transformers, and checked caps. No bulges.
Next I unplugged 3 out of the 4 lamps, testing one lamp at a time. I get the same 2 seconds to black behavior with 3 out of the 4. One of them won't light at all.
I suspect that I have a failed CCFL? Before I crack the LCD open to examine the CCFL in question, is there anything else I should be concerned with?
