Hello everyone, i have an old acer monitor "AL 1916W"
it was totally dead but after i replace some bad caps now the led turns green and red when it's in sleep mode.
but the picture at all no backlight or a dim picture in the LCD.
i just wanted to know how can i test the backlight and the lcd or from where to measure the voltage going to the backlight or the lcd, to know if the problem in the psu or not.
i did test most of the component there if there's a short but they seems fine.
i'm trying to fix this monitor and some other stuff for the purpose of learning so i hope some help and advices from you guys ^^
