It's a long time since I repaired something and last Friday I received 17" LCD dead monitor, the brand was AtlantisLand model A05-17AM-C04.
The power led worked correctly, blinking red when the monitor was without input signal, green with input signal, but there were not images on the screen.
I found the 2.25A fuse blown on the inverter board, I replaced it with a 2.5A and the monitor start to working correctly.
As I read on some threads that Nkcon are not good caps, I replaced the 2 caps 56uF 25V on the inverter board with 2 Sanyo OS-CON 100uF 16V, they were the only good caps I had with the same size of Nkcon.
On the logic board I replaced only two caps NCKN 470uF 16V with 2 Panny 470uF 25V FM.
Here some pictures of my work.
Tomorrow I will check the replaced caps and I will post here what I measure.

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...
