I'm trying to fix this monitor which, upon being powered up, either does nothing at all, or the power LED starts blinking randomly. I popped it open to find what appears to be the 715G1643 power supply board like this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/prod...890399457.html however I wasn't able to find any schematics for it.
The caps are a weird combination of Elite, Hermei, and Rubycon stuff, all of which look ok visually (I don't have an ESR meter). However, I think I identified another likely culprit by the scorch marks on the PCB in the output section, in the bottom-left of the front photo and bottom-right of the back.
The part in question appears to be either a zener or maybe TVS diode, but I can't tell which it is, let alone what its specs are. There was some gunk over it so I did my best to clean it up - it appears to say 81B (which is a zener diode... in a completely wrong packaging: https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...e22b7af3b5.pdf) though the marking can be interpreted in more ways, I suppose. I tried various permutations, but none seem to correspond to any actual component codes.
The monitor is quite old and honestly not worth anyone putting too much effort, hence I'd just rather quickly replace all the cheap parts than buy equipment or spend hours measuring stuff. Any ideas what the hell that thing could be? Thanks!
