Hi,
the monitor works fine for some time - sometimes even several minutes - until it acts as if power was turned off - ie., image disappears and the green power led goes off.
I took a look inside. Previous owner had already attempted to fix the display by replacing electrolytic capacitors (excluding the one big fella) on the power pcb. Only thing that caught my eye was that many solder spots had pretty dull surface hue just like cold joints. Everything seemed to be firmly attached though.
The fact that the display power stayed on for several minutes straight before losing both image and led power seemed to suggest the origin of this problem is located somewhere on the right half of the pcb.
Next I began measuring voltages from the IC near the upper-right corner on the back side (note that I've swapped the back side image to help with visual component alignment), before and after the power-out phenomenon. I got some value differences measured before - BANG, I must've accidentally shorted two pins with a dmm probe, successfully rendering at least three resistors and the damn IC dead
Now I'm short a 2-watt 0.43 ohm metal film resistor and a LD7522PS IC. They seem pretty hard to find online.
Any help to find spare parts and thoughts on where the source of the original problem might be much appreciated. Maybe I could add two of these parallel as a replacement resistor (0.5 ohm vs 0.43 ohm)?
