Re: My Viewsonic VX924 monitor died!
Yes it does. FYI you ALWAYS connect the black lead to the middle pin. Double diodes are marked like this: >||< which designates that the cathode of both diodes is joined into the middle pin. That allows two diodes to act as a larger, higher current one.
Your readings say that one of its two internal diodes is shorted. Replace the MBR10100. Preferably with a MBR20100 which has double the current capability thus will heat up less. One thing i do with those is cut away the pin of the shorted diode (in this case pin 3) and use the remaining good diode in a lower current application.
