Before the tv wouldn't turn on then back off after a few seconds. I hooked up a little ribbon cable between the 2 audio boards (pd1) which i thought was insignificant. However, now with the ribbon connected the tv led stays solid green. Also now the screen does not light up at all.
Voltages: There is a 13 pin connector rail. I get -1.5V, 1.2V on 2 pins. i get 5.96 on 2 pins. (As soon as i put the meter on, it shows around 9-10v for a split second then continuous 5.96.) I also show 4.55 for 2 other pins on the same rail.
I have 3 other rails with yellow, black, and white wires. 1 of each on each rail of the 3 rails. on the middle rail I get 3.3V on the white wire.
On the rails to the sustain boards I get .9V on red and .5V on white.
these voltages are the same whether in standby or power on.
Any Ideas?
Thank you.

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
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...
