Re: LCD Monitor problem!

Hi all me again. I just want to say i'm realy confused. I set this job aside cause i had no meters. My soldering iron kit seemed to be MIA. Well i got it all and sat down and was going to write down all the number on the caps. I was going to try testing and replacing those first. and then go from there. But.....might big but. i for some reason thought "All what the hell lets hook it up while apart on the tabel" well it started doing the same old. It cycled power a few times. i picked it up to listen were the clicks were coming from..not loud but...

Hi all. My name is mitch. Ummm i'm a musician/nerd my friends call me. Picked up music when i was for. Got a little distracted at the age of 9 when mom bought me my first PC.

Loved it. Never realy got into the circrity much. And ummm gues i didn't learn much in spelling either...lol. But anyway 2 years and i went back to playing music...

PlainBill- Thank you for the great information i was wondering how the power line up worked. Now the (CCFL) what is that? And i'm sorry i'm still learning the abreviated lingo.

Re: LCD Monitor problem!

ok here are the pictures. My question is on one of these photos i took had little flat blue capacitors on it. How do you know they are bad. I'm sorry i'm new at this but i love this kind of stuff....

Re: LCD Monitor problem!

wow this is embarasing replying to my own post...and bad spelling...anyway...lol. Wow i've learned alot this morning about capacitors. I gues they dont always bulge when they are bad. So how can i test to see if they are bad. Well i'm getting ahead of myself. I'm working on the pictures right now. I forgot to add in my symtoms...that sometimes it cycles power off/on a few times then goes into standby. that just started. I may have screwed somthing els up trying to get it to stay on. (sigh) i hope not.

I figure this is a good place to post. Well here's a short story. bought this unit from best buy in a replacment ace monitor that lasted 2 days then smoked. hahaha. It's a westinghouse 19" wide screen. Realy nice moniter. Well it quit working. Tryed to take it back to best buy but they mest up the recieped and i gues technicly i stole this moniter cause all the reseip shows is the old monitor and they can't help me. Well i quit shoping there.

Anyway this moniter powers up. And loses picture in 2 seconds. Vary's now and then. I leave it set for a month it'll stay on for at...
