Hi everyone,
I have a 28 inch I-Inc monitor that turns off after about 20-30 seconds when I power up and is plugged in to the computer. The LED light at the bottom right corner stays blue.
When it turns off, I turn off the power from the power button at the back of the monitor, and turn it on, and the screen is back again, but it goes black after 30 seconds again. Nowadays I have to repeat this about 3 times, and eventually it stays on, but it's still very annoying to do that every time, and maybe it will turn off forever at some point.
When it started I only had to turn off once and turn back on, and it stayed on until I shut down many hours later.
I have seen another forum post discussing about a similar issue, but I think they said it turned off after 2 seconds, and they didn't say it comes back and stays on after turning off and on again.
I disassembled it and took some pictures too, but I couldn't see any bulging capacitors or anything else wrong.
Can someone please take a look at the pictures and advise what I can do to troubleshoot/fix it?
Thanks,
Steven

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...
