I acquired a dead 19" monitor yesterday.
Picked it up, took it home and took it out of the box.
I have no clue what brand or model it is, there's no markings on it anywhere.
Looks like a decent monitor, good shape, has speakers, and touch controls (metal buttons on a metal faceplate, see first pic)
There is a missing plastic piece on the back that might have had a sticker on it.
This thing was a dream to work on. 4 screws and the back practically fell off.
2 more screws and the metal cage came off over the power supply/inverter card.
Oh look, never seen this before...... bloated Capxons. Who'd have thunk it?
I didn't try it before opening it up. Recap first, ask questions later.
The board was good quality, nice lead solder. Almost every cap I hit with the soldapullt fell out.
7 caps later, I test the pico fuse good, and all of the T0-220 devices for shorts good, then put the board back in. Fire it up. Works!
Screen looks a bit crappy. Factory reset, and adjust brightness contrast and white balance, and it's not bad at all. Not a keeper, seems a bit washed out,
but will make a nice donation to someone in need.

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
