Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi,
I am an IT geek from Leicester who used to play with veroboard and electronics on and off for the last 25 years - from fixing CB radio power supplies to making alarm clocks go off when it gets dark as prank.
More into programing and recently got into playing with arduino boards with my son.
Recapped a few monitors that had been scrapped from work as faulty - to moderate success (does help when capacitors look popped).

Re: LG Flatron

I have been following this thread whilst trying to sort out a Flatron W2246S of my own, I keep an eye out for scrap monitors at work and got 2 with a similar 2 faults:
1.Turned on shows the LG badge, turn off, turns on again briefly then dies.
2.Turns on and squeals like very high frequency arcing and worked for a while, then it would turned on for 2 seconds and turn off.
So it seems like 1 was dead and the other dying.

Found they both had 1 bad CFL bulb each. changed a tube over and I now have a working 24 in monitor and a box...
