    Replacing cap's did not solve LCD monitor issue

    This is great site...lots of info.
    I have two Planar PL 191M LCD monitors I bought new. They're about 7 yrs old and one just suddenly went black, green light still on. Switching power supplies did no good. I found a 3A fuse blown on the power supply board but no obvious "bad" caps or other suspect looking components. I replaced the fuse [same amp] and figured it would blow, but it did not. I now have a very momentary picture at start-up and if I turn it off, then on again. I went ahead and ordered all new caps and replaced them hoping that would be the fix but I have the same momentary picture. I'd really appreciate any help as I really like these monitors and I suspect the second monitor might do the same.
    Many Thanks

    See guide at

    Start with section 4 and 5.

    With 2 monitors, you should be able to narrow down the problem. Your working monitor can serve as the good/spare ccfl.

    As for the new caps, what brand and series did you get?
