Re: Dell E193FPc Power Cycles After Several Hours

Hi,

This is my first post to the forum. I have been working with computers professionally for many years and after throwing out several bad monitors I decided to try fixing them. I have had luck with simply replacing capacitors on a few so far, but I have run into a snag with this Dell E193FPc 19" monitor. When I first tested it, it would not power on at all. After replacing all of the capacitors it powers on and works great for a few hours, but then it turns off and the power switch LED constantly flashes between green and orange like it is trying to power on.
