eMachines E211H B / Acer E211

[Chevy2]

I have an eMachines monitor (appears under Windows as an Acer E211), that will have the screen flash on and off (I can't see anything with a flashlight), while the power button stays on and blue. The very odd thing is that this immediately happens when I hook it up to my Mac. It takes a while longer for it to happen on a Windows Machine, especially if I use straight VGA connector without a DVI adapter.

Looking for some guidance as what to check next.

Thanks!

I will get the no signal displayed regardless if it's been on a long time or which computer it's plugged into if I unplug the vga connector. Also I am getting 5 and 3 volts from the logic board.

Does this sound like a bad logic board or main board caps?

Since I don't think this is two seconds to black, can someone give some guidance? Like should I change the filter caps first? I don't want to go through recapping when that might not be the source.
