A repair of my Samsung C32G53T Monitor
Hello everyone!
Since I didn't find it anywhere and only found some YouTube videos on other monitors, I'd like to show you how I "repaired" my monitor.
I put the word repaired quotation marks because I really dont know if this is a permanent fix, since I just removed some resistors and did not really replace anything.
It was all about my monitor only showing weird vertical lines.
In my research I found out that some CKV lines seemed to be shorted. The recommended way to fix this was disconnecting them.
On the PCB were a bunch of resistors connected (to those lines?).
I tried out removing a bunch of them until I found the ones which seemed to be the issues. I then reconnected the rest of them.
Heres a picture:
The monitor now seems to work again and I am super proud I did this and didn't waste $300 on a new monitor.
So guys keep motivaited to repair.
Regards

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...
