LG Flatron W2343T-PF Invertor Transformer Getting Hot

[Satdude]

Hello, I am having a problem with my monitor. The invertor transformer is getting abnormally hot, the highest temperature i measured was 175°C. Nothing else on the board heats up. The monitor continues functioning but it smells really bad. I have already replaced the inverter transformer as it had a burnt primary winding. I also replaced all the capacitors but it still has a problem. Any help would be appreciated.

It can be due to worn out CCFL so they draw too much current, you can try reducing the backlights level.

I have tested the transformer with another CCFL tube and it still heats up. Since I refuse to pay anymore money for this project since the monitor Is from the recycling center i will go there and take some inverter boards with me to take the parts of (mostly the blue high voltage capacitors)

I re-read your post:
"I have already replaced the inverter transformer as it had a burnt primary winding."
To burn out the primary winding that has to be lots of current and that can damage the MOSFET's that drive the transformer.
Can I see good clear pictures of the board?

The power board is an AIP-0192 rev. F. The mosfets are Nikos P2504BDG and I measured them and it seems they are working alright. The driver chip is MP61093ES and it seems to be working too. One thing i noticed while taking these pictures Is that someone replaced the varistor.
