Re: Syncmaster 720 Backlighting - again....

Thanks! can you test with a meter a bad ccfl?

Hey guys - First post here so I figured Id make it a good one. I have TWO Syncmaster 720N monitors that have the same problem. The backlight comes on then shuts right off. I recapped BOTH the power and video boards and the only way I can make it stay on is if Im holding my multimeter positive lead (other end grounded) on volts setting to the resistor above one set of CFL plugs (in pic). it will stay lit until I remove the lead then go black. If I put it back on there it wont go back on unless I power cycle it. When its "working" its showing like 65v - when its not its like .11v
