Hi guys, I have picked up the above monitor (it has two model numbers so I thought I'd list both) for nowt because it suffers from the "two seconds to black" phenomenon. Flicking the power off/on will bring the picture back for a couple of seconds, then it's gone etc.
Would be a shame to scrap it as I'm sure it can be fixed, however my initial investigations (as instructed by the sticky thread) have drawn a blank (this is quite possibly due to me being an idiot).
The caps on the board are mostly Su'scon, with a couple of Samxon and one huge Elite thrown in for good measure, none of which are visibly failing. When checked with a multimeter resistance increases as they charge, but the rate of charge varies, I'm putting that down to different levels of capacitance, but as mentioned above, I'm an idiot so this could be wrong.
I've attached two huge pictures of the board in the hope that someone can spot something I haven't
