Hi Badcaps readers,
A couple of years ago, I put some new capacitors in a Samsung 2053BW monitor, and after it was up and running, I gave it to a friend who lives in Dubai.
Yesterday, something happened and the display now looks as shown in the attached photo. Does anyone recognize this symptom?
It is hard for me to troubleshoot as I am in the US and the monitor is in Dubai, but this is what I know: the monitor is connected to a circa 2008 Macbook via an eBay purchased (from China) mini-DVI output and transforms it into DVI. An eBay link for a similar one is listed below so you have an idea as to what kind of adapter I used. Personally, I suspect the adapter. It was very cheap.
I asked my friend to unplug the DVI cable from the monitor, and the 'No Signal' box moves as expected and there is no sign of problem.
All suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance!
