I have a HG281D Rev 2 (MFG date: 2009) that I've replaced the caps on.
Prior to the replacement the monitor would turn on briefly and then I'd lose picture. It would stay "on" but there was no picture. After waiting for roughly 25 minutes with it on, the picture would return. I was able to play games, surf the web, and use as normal. Wanting this to be permanent... I replaced the PSU caps with the kit from LCDAlternatives. This didn't fix the issue. So I went ahead (Being stubborn) and replaced the caps on the logic board. The monitor came on! It works great now aside from one glaring issue... It is stuck at minimum brightness.
The monitor will come on, and it allows me to adjust brightness but nothing actually happens. Very odd. I know the backlight works as it comes on 100% for 1/4 second before going dim. I can adjust the contrast, picture hue, and everything else BUT backlight. Is there a specific cap that controls this? The backlight was working prior to replacing the caps on the logic board.
TL;DR - Replaced all the caps on logic board and now the brightness is stuck on minimum and adjustment won't work to go up and down. Worked prior to cap replacement.
Any pointers would be awesome. Thanks all!
