I-Inc monitor, slow to come on

[MikeMaddeford]

I have an older I-Inc monitor. Its been acting up for a couple of months now When I start the computer the monitor pops and comes on, then goes out...a few seconds go by and it pops and comes on again. The whole process repeats until it's warmed up and it's fine from then on.
I'm assuming it's caps in the power supply. And Im wondering if anyone has a list of the caps to order. Just saves me opening it up first and being without the big monitor until I get it back together.

model # i-inc hsg1040

Thanks

bad caps, or bad soldering, or bad tubes.

you need to get it open.

backlight tubes not firing up when cold.

Speaking of an I-Inc monitor, I have one too that flickers out randomly... Doesn't seem to get better as it warms up. Still suspecting bad capacitors but need to open to look.

Problem is, I can't seem to get it open. Removed the 6 screws and the attach plate (another 4 screws) and tried prying along the edges to split the halves... wonder if there are more screws somewhere, or is it just the plastic that's not being cooperative to opening... Prying along the edges just resulted in ... cracked pried plastic. Ugh.
