Rec'd three of these monitors. All have the same symptom. Flash of display, then black. Power LED is yellow all the time.
I only have a single power supply, but it appears to be working. Tested it with a small load (12v light bulbs) and voltage drop was 12.6 down to about 12.2v.
A word of warning. I an NOT a electronic technician. I am a aircraft mechanic by trade and can 'figure things out' when I set my mind to it. I know how to use a multimeter, but that's about it. While I understand most electronic concepts, I seem to struggle with how those concepts interact with one another.
I have been reading for a couple of days about bad caps. I have investigated the circuit boards, but have not been able to identify any suspect caps. I have searched the board for my model monitor, but have not seen boards like this one.
Are you up for a challenge?
