Re: Samsung SyncMaster 204B

I have a similar issue with a Samsung Syncmaster 225BW. Monitor used to take forever to turn on like it had to be warmed up. I opened it up, saw 5 bad caps replaced them all and put it together now when I power it on the light stays solid blue but screen is black. Did the flashlight test and saw that there was a picture. Could it be that
1) the capacitors I replaced are bad or one of them could be bad.
2) Another component went bad such as the inverter on the screen
3) could it be something else
