Ok so I've got this Gateway 19" LCD monitor. What it does is, if it has been powered off, meaning unplugged, it will work if the computer is on and the monitor is plugged back in with an active signal going to it. If the computer is restarted, it will not work. The monitor needs to be again unplugged, wait about 10-15 seconds, and plugged back in. That's the only way it will work.
Since I'm new to working on LCD monitors, I have two questions:
1. What's likely wrong with it? What do I need to know about working on these things? I can solder well, and have plenty of caps ready to go. I've replaced lots of bad capacitors on power supplies and motherboards, but I've never been into an LCD monitor.
2. How do I get the f***ing case off the thing?
Thanks in advance!
