Hi,
I have an OLD (7-8 years) HP x2301 LED Monitor that has been my workhorse for years. Just recently it's been exhibiting the FF:
Issues.
1. Powering On the monitor the day after use is a 50/50 chance if whether it works or not. The Power LED light lights up for 2-3 secs then turns off.
Unplugging and replugging the device has a -small- chance to get it to turn on fully up to the point that it searches for a signal at that point the monitor is fully operational.
2. The Monitor when fully activated is stable even when it enters standby/sleep mode it powers back up after you move the mouse. BUT when left extensively in sleep mode, after a few days or worse case a few hours the monitor shuts off.
3. After opening up the Monitor, I noticed the Flatcable (FFC) leading to the LED backlight has slight burn/melted point. But the screen still seems to display fine, save for -very- subtle hints of green on one side. Refer to images.
Repairs/Attempts I performed:
1. I have already replaced the 2 through-hole caps with new ones. Issues remain
2. Used a Different power brick with appropriate voltage. Issues Remain
3. I've tried the blowdryer to heat the unit up before powering up. Monitor Succesfully powered up. I will need to retry this for a while b4 confirmation temperature affects monitor to startup. Preliminary Findings/Inconclusive
