Sorry to post another thread on this cursed monitor but yesterday my display started doing something wacky that I haven't seen anywhere else in this forum.
My monitor had been working fine, when in the middle of watching a video the screen started to turn white, from left to right, almost like it was bleaching out. The display then stayed completely white- about as bright as it could be. I turned it off, turned it back on, same thing.
The display turns on fine, blue light, then after a few seconds orange, and stays on at orange without shutting off, making think this is not a power supply issue (but of course I'm writing here because I don't know what's wrong so please correct me if you know better!). I've isolated the fact that the display turns white, regardless of input, but rather as a response whenever anything comes up on the screen. For example, when the display first powers on, led turns blue, the box would come up that says no signal input, and the display would go to standby. A second after I press the menu button and the menu comes up, the display whites out.
I tried reseating connections, inspecting the boards for bulging caps but didn't see any (even though that doesn't mean there aren't still bad ones), and testing continuity over the f400 fuse on the Tcon board. I really don't know much about this, but new monitors this size are over $400 where I am now, so any ideas or recommendations of things to test would be incredible.
