Re: Troubleshooting LG Flatron M4715CG

I will get a cheap meter, this isn't going to be a hobby of mine or anything. I just want this thing to work.

I edited the above post with the video of what the monitor/tv is doing.

On the board where that socket/pin goes, it is labeled |_Ground_||_xxx_|
(xxx) for whatever it may say, I don't remember off the top of my head.

Hey guys.
I just recently purchased a second hand LG Flatron M4715CG for $50. It is a unit that was used at Fox 8 News that they were throwing out because of power supply issues.
