This is one of those 2 seconds 2 black problems.
The monitor will power up, but the display is only sort of bright on the right side top and bottom (if I remember correctly) the test box appears then the monitor goes black. It does not make any noises that I can hear when it happens.
there are 5 rubycon caps, 3 elites, 2 TL's, and the big one is a hermei.
None of the caps are swollen or leaking. there is a large scorch mark in the center of the board, The scorch marks seem to be caused by 2 transistors and one mosfet.
An inspection of the component side of the board shows no cracked or burned components, the fuse has continuity.
The back side of the board when examined under my lit magnifying glass, I cannot find any cold/cracked solder joints, or any burned or broken surface mount parts.

I would like to fix it, but only if I can with what I can scrounge. Meaning I do not want to spend any money on it. I have a stock of capacitors, resistors, and a small pile of boards pulled from other monitors.
I have not done anything other than open it up and look it over. I can post better pics tomorrow if needed. recommendations?
