    ViewSonic VP211b

    It seems mostly there were problems with inverter and/or caps. But my model has japanese caps all over the PSU and inverter. It seems to be working when I disconnect +5 V supply to TCon, I got +5 V on main board and even got backlight in such case.

    When supply is conneted to TCon, I do not get anything, the problem propagates all the way to PSU which probably goes to safe mode. I did not find anything bad, no fuse is bad, all diodes and transistors on TCon are good.

    BTW I got electrocuted two times, the primary heatsinks is alive. I don't know how that is possible, the switching transistor is in TO-220F and the heatsinks is grounded!

    ADD// found some small caps having suspiciously high ESR, one 1 uF/50 V has ESR of 85+ ohm, capacity 0,85 uF, not even ancient tiny Daewoo cap has so incredibly high ESR. Also when powering the TCon with just +5 V from old AT PSU, it did not get shorted so maybe there is some problem on some DC-DC module on the main board because of wore-out caps?

    ADD2// changed the 1uF cap, now PSU works even with TCon supplied but still black screen. However, there is more small caps which seem screwed in similar way.
