Hi there. Long time lurker, rare poster.
I have a benq FP91G+ that a customer donated today and I plugged it in and the LED turns on and stays constand, black screen. I assumed caps on powersupply so I pulled it apart and no swollen caps. I have an ESR meter so I checked all caps and they all test good as well.
My question is what else should I be checking on this monitor? I'm not a big monitor repair guy but I do understand general electronics and I have a Multimeter/oscope and ESR meter. Any direction I could go into?
It seems to me the backlight inverter is on the powersupply.
Anyone have any good TS tips?

I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
