Sony SDM-HX73 issue

[cheese007]

I came across a Sony SDM-HX73 for free, knowing it was broken. The monitor will power on, and stay on, but the picture only appears for a second (tinted red as well), and then the screen goes black. I've visually inspected the power supply, and nothing seems to be amiss, just some slight discoloration of hot spots. Any ideas what might be happening?

Is it red or more of a pinkish color?

If it's pink, you may have dead lamps in the LCD panel itself which are making the inverter shut down.

Open it up and give us some nice clear pics of the internals.

Pink or red hue is a signal of a dying lamp. Replace CCFLs
