After repairing three monitors for friends, and one of my own, the neighborhood has anointed me as the monitor repair guy, thanks to my secret weapon..... this site and everyone who has helped me. I don't do this for a living, but I have had some success until now!
The Dell monitor E177FPb, that I have now, is giving me fits because I can't find an obvious solution for the horizontal lines that are showing up across the screen. I have checked for bad caps, cold solder joints, but I haven't started to test components on the board yet.
I have included a photo of the problem on the screen. I have also included pictures of the front and back of both boards that are attached together. If someone has encountered this problem with a Dell monitor, please let me know where I should start to get rid of these lines. As always, thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to supply.

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...
