Re: Acer AL2423W: Recapped, Still Dead!
Yep, get excited. A shorted diode very well could be responsible for the problems. If it is holding the FET off, the power supply won't work. Of course, the next problem is I don't have the foggiest idea what the rating of that zener is. I just hope someone can step in with an idea. I'm out of my area of experience at this point.
I'd say there is no point in comparing resistances of the two ICs; they are most likely not the problem. It WOULD be a good idea to remove the diode and verify it is shorted. If it isn't obvious, DON'T try to see if the monitor will work without the proper diode in place.
