Formac 2010 Gallery monitor - black screen awake from sleep - flashing light
Hi - I have a Formac 2010 21.1" monitor which after sterling service for many years began showing a black screen after awakening from sleep - with increasing frequency till a couple of days ago when not even a computer restart could get the screen working. Just a flashing light on the front panel (usual mode is on when working or slow fading in-&-out blink when sleeping)
In fact I have another exact same kind monitor that died the same way - I've searched for an online manual / internal diagram without any joy. I'd be handy to repair as it has a useful resolution of 1600x1200 which is rare nowadays. And I use them in a dual monitor setup (I have 3 in total with one remaining one working)
I've stripped it down and taken pics of the two main boards for your perusal.

Not readily apparent in the pic but all the T51 0005 212 6J 0615 00 components have blistering
