Hi, searched for a thread that might give me the answers, with out having to start a new thread, but found nothing posted that match the exact problem I am having.
Bought the monitor W/computer second hand a week ago. The first time I had the monitor powered on for less than 30 min with no problem. The next time it was powered up for about 45 min and I lost power. With in 2 or 3 seconds the monitor powered back on and worked for another 20 min until i shut it down. Over the next few days this problem became worse - losing power sooner and taking longer to come back on line. I had some luck aiming a high output fan directly at the vent slots in the back. But this just increased the time before it would power down, and even so that was only about 10-15 min by the time I received a new monitor I had ordered online.
I really like the 24" display, built in card reader, and other niceties of the 2405,and would like to fix it if possible. I have removed the back and done a good visual - no obvious bloated caps, hot spots on board or components. I attended an electronics trade school 30 years ago, and know enough to be able to follow instructions of how I might troubleshoot this problem, but don't now possess anywhere near the knowledge to even know where to start on this.
Also, this monitor has a separate board for the logic, inverter, and power supply. My hunch is the problem is with the power supply, (though that is at best a vague guess from something I may have learned 30 years ago). Regardless if I could determine which board was causing the problem, I would be willing to replace the whole board if that was available and made sense cost wise?
I probably have not given some critical info, and maybe have not asked the right questions, but I am pretty good at following instructions, and if anyone has the time, I will do whatever is needed on this end.
Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give.

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though.
