Acer X243W Goes Dark after Showing Acer.

[Xtremepayne]

I am new to the forums and have an issue with my 24in acer. I have replaced all but one cap on the power board. Only reason I didn't do that was that it wasn't locally available and currently showing no signs of bubbling. I will order a replacement for it. Even though I don't believe its the fault of my problem I replaced it as I had it open and caps are cheap to replace.
I believe my problem may lie in the the inverter or CCFLs. I was reading in another post about being able to use a resistor take the place of a CCFL so that I could test each one. I have never don't anything like that before so I need to know what type and size of resistor to use, a walkthru if you will.
And where and how to connect it.

Also screen still shows hit of getting signal when shining a flashlight sideways accross the screen area.

If you can see an image with a flashlight, then your PSU is probably fine. I would start troubleshooting the inverter board. Check fuses first. On older Acer models the 10 caps were common failures around the 3 year mark, as well as the FETs (see forum post for Acer AL2416 for more details).

This is the caps on the inverter board. They look fine to the eye and I checked the board visually to see if anything looked burnt but I couldn't find anything. Sorry if the quality of the pictures are not very good. I can get in closer but then I have to take more and more pictures to cover all of the board. Hope this is ok.
