First Off, This Monitor Was A Freebe & I Do Not Know It's History Other Than The 2 Seconds To Black.
What I'm Posting For Is An Opinion. Should I Replace ALL The Caps On BOTH Boards? Or Should I Just Replace The Caps On The Power Board.
Yes, I Have Looked At The Troubleshooting Guide For 2 Seconds To Black By RetiredCaps @ https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ds+black+guide. There It Mentions, "You turn on your LCD monitor and it displays an image of your screen and then suddenly it turns off after 1 or 2 seconds. The power LED stays on (or green) and you can still see the image by shining a flashlight on it."
When I Tried With A Flashlight, I Saw Nothing.
Understanding That The Caps Do Not Have To Be Visibly Bad To Actually Be Faulty, I Pried The Screen Open To Find 4 Different Brands Of Caps... Xunda, YEC, Leaguer, And 1 Big One That Was Glued Down. None Appear To Be Bad, But The Xunda And The YEC Were Listed On The List Of Bad Caps.
In Addition, I Do Not Have Any Additional CCFLs To Test With. As Such, I Stripped The Screen Down To See If There Were Any Visble Signs Of Failure. I'm Thinking That This Is The Issue (See The Last 2 Pics.)
Thanks For Your Time.
