My current monitor is being a pain in the backside, as it takes about 20-30 hits to get the screen to come on. I was then given Phillips 170B monitor, however the monitor did sit in a shed for 4 years, which meant temperatures were down to -10*c and potentially dampness
Anyway I got it, let it get to room temperature (infact was about 3 metres from a radiator for a full day), I plugged it in, and the screen came on, for around 2 seconds and then went back off.
Done the usual search on Google, and suggested that the caps were probably done, The old caps were CapXon ones, There was no physical evidence that the caps were done as they were not leaking and were not bulging. I replaced the caps on the main power supply board anyway, plugged it up, exact same problem,
I am out of ideas not as Google is now limited.
