I got this monitor from the trash. 2 Caps failed so i recapped the entire board with panasonic fm caps (same valued). Turned the monitor back on and i still have the same symptoms. I did shine my flashlight on the screen and the picture is still there just no backlight.I've been trying to test the MOSFETS but i am not sure i am doing it correctly. If i put the leads on the the mosfet pins as per Retired caps's guide, i get a brief flash of a number then OL. I'm using a craftsman 82141 multimeter. I did check the 2 fuses on the inverter side of the power board and i am getting .3 ohms, so i am assuming they are ok. I checked the diodes on the board and they appear to be ok, (value one way and OL the other).
The MOSFET is 40T03GP
I've read in a few older posts that they do fail. If someone can chime in on the testing procedure. Or if i need a better multimeter to perform this test.
I am a little confused on the transformer check also. The guide says check pins 1-2 1-3 1-4.....Is this from top to bottom on either left or right side??
If anyone has any suggestions as to what to check or input on the mosfets i'm all ears.
Thanks
