Re: Viewsonic VX910
Well... I hooked up an external 12v source. Worked great.... for about 5 seconds...then the two transistors on that side popped; the magic smoke escaped, and it was laid to rest.
time for a new monitor.Leave a comment:

Re: Viewsonic VX910
So, I checked the voltage here, and it goes from around 4v, crawls up to 12v, then drops to 4v again. Is there a prime suspect in this case? I have replaced the caps, tested the other caps, no bad solder joints, no holes in the transformers, etc.
Side note: Is simply hooking this up to an external 12V supply a feasible workaround? Would one still need 120v to power the backlight?
Thanks for everything! Very useful information thus far!...Leave a comment:
