Re: Samsung Syncmaster 305t

Thanks for your reply.

I'll check the ribbon cables connections and take some pictures of the boards tomorrow when I open the monitor again.

Any info about that 15-pin cable, where can I buy one?

I've had this monitor couple years. Then suddenly one day, screen just suddenly turned black. Backlight was on, but nothing else. Sometime it came back to life for couple minutes after I computer boot, but always went back to black after awhile.

I searched for the cause, and found the "oven-guide". Decided to try it, disassembled the monitor, took the tcon board out, wrapped it in folio and cooked for 7 minutes, then put everything back together, and now it's working almost perfectly again.

While disassembling the monitor, I managed to break the 15-pin data...
