Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello everybody!
I'm Thierry, living in Brussels, Belgium and a French native speaker as you'll have noticed from my accent...

My monitor (Samsung SyncMaster245B) just went black after some 6 or 7 years of very intensive (nearly continuous!) operation, so I searched for ideas and I found some here that I might try, although I'm not used to the soldering iron since my student days (a long time ago, and never very good at that, to be honest!).
So thanks to those who have given repair suggestions, I'll tell...
