Hello,
I recently got an older non-working LCD monitor from a friend. I would like to repair it as it is much better than my current monitor. I am pretty good at soldering, however I am a bit rusty with a multimeter. Anyway, after I plug it in and turn it on, I get a completely white/gray screen. I opened it up and looked at the PCB's and no caps seem to be bulging, but I'm no expert.
Here are a couple (crappy) pictures taken of the two boards in the monitor. The white screen I am seeing is the same as the last picture in the first post of this thread; https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ighlight=hanns
Thank you, and I hope I can get this fixed!

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
