hey
my 22" acer flatscreen has just pooped out on me.
The backlight powers on for about 1-2 seconds then powers off. It comes on when you turn it on to see the acer logo. then again for about a second whilst it shows the desktop then it's off. i can see that the desktop is still functional and displayed in the background.
I replaced all of the 470uf caps on the power board. no other changes have been made. its still doing the same thing. for the record: none of the caps were bulging or looked bad. i figured this was the easiest possible fix and worth a shot.
before i replaced the caps i disconnected each backlight to see if i could figure out if one of them was busted (4 connectors in total). nothing changed.
i have a decent multimeter as my disposal.
i'd love if someone could help me out.
the number on the board (this is for future forum searchers) is 715g2278-1 . if you google this number you'll find some info on an AOC monitor in polish.
what's my next step?
here's a hi-res pic of the power board
