My monitor has developed the 2 seconds to black fault. I've never tried to fix anything like this before but thought I'd give it a go just for the fun of it rather than pay someone else to do it and you guys make it sound really easy. 
I removed the power board from the monitor on from a quick visual inspection all appears well with the capacitors.
Testing the secondary coils on the inverter transformer give reading of 952 and 918. I've read that 3 or 4% variance is enough to suggest a faulty transformer but mine seems to be borderline. Other threads I've read on here show much more dramatic differences in the coils, e.g. 950 and 600.
So I'm wondering:
1) In a new Inverter Transformer would both coils measure 950 or will there always be a bit of variance?
2) Is the difference in mine enough to suggest a faulty component?
