Re: Samsung 305T Plus issues



Indeed! Turns out I had a 12V 120mm Antec LED fan lying around in my spare parts drawer, so I threw it on by soldering the included power cable to the 18V output. It doesn't fit under the back cover though (about 1.5 inches to tall), but I was planning on leaving that off for now anyway. On the plus side it has the advantage of snapping in nicely with a single peg. It has 3 speeds and at the lowest I don't hear it at all and it has more than enough airflow to keep the metal T-Con cover cool to the touch after 2 hours of load I've thrown...

I basically did what is described here:

Re: Samsung 305T Plus issues

Hey all,

I poked in here a few months ago when my monitor started acting up, and am really impressed with how much info is here and how willing folks are to help!

I'm having almost this exact same problem on my 4 year old Samsung 305T (The screenshot KuroNeko posted is identical to what I'm seeing, but I get this behavior at all resolutions), and figured I'd attempt a self repair.

So far I've taken it apart and checked the voltages and some of them are a bit off. For example, the 24V output from the SMPS comes...
