My son's Samsung p2770hd seems to have died. It turns on for a few seconds. It shows the input in the upper left corner of the screen and then goes black. If I switch to the ota tuner it will show snow for a coupla secs before it goes black. I tried holding a bright flashlight up to the screen but was unable to see an image as some posts on this site have suggested.

I've disassembled it and took some images. The middle of the bn44 piece looks like it has "dark fur". Also not easy to see, one of the voltage regulators looks like it got real hot (dark around board).

Hello, i have a p2770hd samsung monitor having problems. It powers on and shows the input for a few seconds in the top left of the screen then goes black. Tried using a flashlight, but can't see the menu or anything. Thinking the bn44-00322a part may be bad. Looks a little dark in the middle.

took some pick so the boards, caps look ok....
