Re: Frankenstein???

Unfortunately, I do not have the power supply or logic board from the Acer unit. If it is a compatibility issue, would it work for any period of time, or would it just not work at all? The backlight power connections are the same, and the ribbon inputs are the same # of pins. Everything plugs up nicely, with no "extra wires".

Re: Frankenstein???

Just to clarify, it was an Acer screen/panel/display, being used in a Samsung housing with the Samsung logic board(I think), and power board. The monitor works great for a bit, then after about an hour, sometimes less, it will flicker, then greywash with vertical white lines, and then go black. If I turn off the monitor for a few minutes, the display will work again briefly.

So this is my first attempted repair of an LCD monitor, so if I sound like a noob, it's because I am. I started out with an Acer 19" widescreen monitor. The power supply was apparently bad, so it was donated to my closet. I just recieved a Samasung Syncmaster 906BW with a broken screen from my neigbor...you guessed it, together they go. Now I have a display showing up and it's being recognized by XP as a Samsung monitor, but after about 30 minutes of use, I get the vertical white lines, then blank screen. Has anyone ever tried this before? Am I looking at possible bad caps? Thanks for any...
