Samsung Syncmaster 223bw, multiple attempts to start backlight.

[robadob]

Ok so basically about a week ago, my monitors backlight started flickering for a few seconds when i first turned it on. This then turned into it flickering and failing to start up which then turned to turning on and failing aftre a couple of seconds before after about 4-5 attempts turning on and staying on. Then finally this morning it took about 2-3 minutes to get it to turn on and it made a few quiet sounds while doing so.

I won't be able to test any parts until I'm back home on the 9th April but hopefully with your assistance i can diagnose and possibly even order some parts for when i get home.

(I'm situated in the UK)

So is anyone able to identify the fault or do you need to me to check anything?

Thanks

So according to

I'll need to open it up and identify the offending capcitors via them bulging or having stuff seeping out of them. I think.

open it up and do a roundhouse kick.. replace all the caps except the big 400-450V one with new low-esr ones as discussed in the 225BW thread.

these monitors (223BW-226BW) are pretty much identical on the inside apart from some revision changes..
