Greetings Badcaps,
Hardware:
Samsung SyncMaster TA350 LED Monitor w/ TV Tuner
The Problem:
Unit began powering itself on and off
Troubleshooting:
Went through process, determined it was most likely related to hardware. Based on what I had read I had suspected bad capacitors, however found some scorch marks caused by a possible short.
Images of Findings:
1) Opened up back panel, and took a look at the power supply (not sure if that's what it's called?). Highlighted in red in "Open Panel.jpg"
2) Found burn marks on one of the connectors. "Burn Marks.jpg"
3) A closeup of the female connector on the power supply board (again not sure of nomenclature). "Insert Closeup.jpg"
So, it appears that there was a short in the board, and it's possible that the wire is just fried. I didn't see any damage on the reverse side, all capacitors look normal, everything else seems good.
The Question:
I'm considering just finding a replacement wire and possibly a replacement female contact to replace the burned stuff. Would anyone else have any other recommendations, or should I just go ahead?
