    Samsung Syncmaster 940BX problem - Need help please

    Hi all, great forum and thanks for the chance to join. I started a new thread for this problem as I got no answers tagging on the end of a previous thread - so fingers crossed :-) - I have read with interest the progress of other members in fixing the Samsung 940BX monitor. Before diving into mine and following guidelines already posted I thought I would run my fault past the list members first, in case there is something in particular for me to check that is not already covered.

    My monitor works for two seconds after switch on then goes to a blank screen, with the blue light still on. It seems to be very similar to the problem other members have had. In the two seconds or so that it is on the screen it looks fine and the displayed data is as it is on another screen. Should I just start replacing capacitors as described? Best ones to start with?

    Thanks again!

    73,
    Graham.

    How do the capacitors look? It's worth replacing all the caps if some of them are bulging. On the other hand, if the monitor has nothing but United Chemicon caps, and they all look perfect, changing them is not the best way to start.
