This relates to my son's Envision G2016WA1, LCD monitor.
A little background, I am mechanically inclined and fix my own cars/trucks, but have not gotten deep into electrical components before.
Last night my sons Envision monitor starting to show the common problem of turning on but going off after 2 seconds, the green power light stays on. If you turn it off and then back it will go another 2 seconds then shut off again.
Reading the forums this looks like a common problem. I also read about a test whereby you shine a bright flash light to see if you can see the windows background. With his, you cannot see anything it is just black.
I would really like to show my son that you can fix electronic things and not have to buy something just because it isn't working.
I am asking for some advice with this problem.
We have it open already, and I'm not an expert to tell if any of the caps are swollen, so I included pictures A,B, and C. Are any of these caps swollen, will replacing these fix the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
