Re: Viewsonic VT2430 fluctuating 5V rail
The reason I asked about what the final fix was is that you did not mention that you changed any caps in your first post, So that's why trouble shooting took the path it did.
Had we known caps. were changed on the main board, and then the throbbing led fault occurred I'm sure this could have been repaired a lot quicker.
That why if you replace parts and the fault is now different, go back and check what you did first, sometimes it is a very simple mistake that's overlooked, we have all done it.
I remember having to repair electronics from other shops and it was a good thing they never used flux remover, the first part of trouble shooting was to see what the previous person did, repair that and then fix the original fault.
