    Samsung SyncMaster 245BW - Resurrected!

    No question here, just came to give a great big THANKS to all you guys who help out on this forum!

    I found this forum earlier this week when looking for solutions to my problem with my SyncMaster 245BW. A lot of people were having the screen flicker/blank screen problem, but not many people were having the same issue as I was (no power at all, not even the blue LED). Then I came across this thread by Ober, describing the EXACT issue I was having - all the way down to the exact same two capacitors being slightly swollen (CB879 and CB809). I followed along with all the testing that was done in the thread and was convinced that what worked for him would work for me.

    Having very little soldering experience, I did some research here and on YouTube and practiced on some junk boards until I was confident I could handle a cap replacement. I took the advice of many of the veterans and replaced ALL the caps on my power supply rather than just the two I figured were the issue. I also replaced the three resistors that everyone seems to have issues with (RB805, RB806, and RB807). I just finished a little while ago and I'm happy to say that my monitor is working perfectly!

    So THANKS AGAIN!! Particularly to retiredcaps, selldoor, Rtech, budm, and momaka, without whose advice I might not have been able to salvage this monitor. And thanks to all you other guys and gals who volunteer your time to help out people like me!

        I don't participate as much as before, but I'm glad you did some homework and followed the instructions/advice already posted.

        Too many times today, people come here looking for helping, but do absolutely no homework/research and expect someone to handhold them through the entire process. One person even asked the regulars here to call him (on our dime) for a step by step instructions.

        One person recently couldn't even wait 37 minutes for free help before declaring this forum and its volunteer members who have jobs, lives, families, etc useless.

          Samsung Syncmaster 740BF repair
          by soopacrucial
          Hi folks,

          I'm new here and was wondering whether you might be kind enough to give me some advice on troubleshooting the following problem:

          Quite a few years ago now, a couple of years from new, my Samsung Syncmaster 740BF LCD monitor starting playing up by making a buzzing noise and then the display would go blank. I seem to remember the blue power led would also go off when this happened but that I'm not 100% sure of. By pressing the power button I do remember I could at first get it working again but eventually the problem would come back. At the time I had read about...
