My mum had a problem with this second hand monitor. Its not a bad one, and didnt want to chuck it if it was repairable.
The backlight would turn off after a second. The image was still there as could be seen by shining a torch close to the screen.
I ruled out the backlights as theres 2 in there and would be too much of a coincidence if both had gone at the same time. Could'nt find any bad caps either, but did notice a kind of scorch mark in the middle of one of the toroids. So I looked underneath, and it looked like a dry solder. Resoldered it, and it now works fine!!! Yay!
Hope this helps others who may have similar symptoms.
