But this ground is NOT the same as the other one you used.You must measure across the small cap itself,Black to the side where the stripe, is red to the other side.

Measuring across c109 (small cap) 0 v dc

Between the BIG cap and the transformer there is a small cap - what voltage is on that meter on vdc200 probe on each leg joint

it is c109 and it has 64.5 on each leg to ground.

Also testing with meter on 200 vdc the area in orange is the only area of the board with any power at all.

I didnt say but you need to post result of voltage test.

on 200v DC tested ground to each side of F1. Nothing. 0. Also tested ground to each pin connector. All 0. Ground screw to input side of transformer 63 v. I will try to get better pictures and read the guide.

See budm's lcd troubleshooting guide in my sig file link in the above post for the basics.

When troubleshooting consumer electronics, one of the most important voltages to look for is standby DC voltage. This is typcially 5V DC.

In consumer electronics, we rarely need to measure AC.

List pin number and DC voltage for the connector like so (black probe goes on a ground screw on chassis).

pin 1 = 0.0
pin 2 = 5.0

Have you checked the fuse at F1,?

Check for continuity - post result in ohms
Check voltage on each side Black probe on ground screw probe each side with red
Meter on 200vDC

Where circled in black I got voltage. Red circles, nothing.

F1 checks fine

I have a Tatung LCD monitor that does nothing at all. No LED on power button nothing at all. It had some bad caps which I replaced and that did nothing. I hooked the back lights to a different brand power supply and the display itself works fine. With power plugged in I have voltage on the large yellow transformer on the plug side nearest the big filter cap. Around 60v. I would think that mean the bridge rectifier is fine as well as filter on the output side of the transformer I have nothing. No voltage at all. I checked the resistance on the output and it is roughly 1 ohm. Would that indicate the transformer is dead? It does not seem to have been hot. There is no writing on the transformer to determine a proper replacement. Am I on the right track? Are these transformers some what universal? Any idea what I could replace it with? I would be tempted to buy a board but I can't seem to locate one. It is a LM004 Rev 3.
