Hello all, I've read a lot of the forums regarding 2 seconds to black (including billy66's excellent guide), and I've tried as much of the troubleshooting as my extreme noobness will allow. I have a Hannspree HF237HPB. All was well until a few weeks ago, when it starting turning off within a few seconds of being turned on, while the power light in the corner stayed blue. It didn't do it all of the time, if the monitor has been turned off for a few minutes, it would start up fine, and stay on. If I turned on the computer and the monitor went 2 secs to black, i would just turn the monitor off and wait a few, and it would usually stay on after i tried again. That worked less and less frequently until it would never stay on more than 2 seconds. I can see the screen with a flashlight pointed at it. I have zero electronics know how, i didn't own a multimeter or a soldering iron before this, but i am a DIY kinda guy, so i googled it, and ended up here. From what I've read here, definitely sounds like an issue on the inverter board. I can't see any obvious damage, the caps appear fine, no bulging, no leaking, etc. I also don't see any discoloration around any of the components. Flipping it over, the i don't see anything obvious here either. Maybe someone notices something that might escape a mere noob such as myself? Any idea what the most likely culprit is? If it's relevant, I also noticed that I often got two secs to black whenever my resolution changed, like when loading a game, etc. Pics are attached, thanks to all in advance!
