    Oh well, did a great job with the aid of a magnifying glass - but alas has made no difference, so presume there must be a cap or similar gone somewhere so it looks like a visit to the man as recommended by the chap in Maplins.........any more than £20 quid and it's off to the tip i guess.......sad.

    Will let you know
    Cheers Pozzouk....

    Sounds like leave it til tomorrow as i have neither but i do have a Maplins in Pompey! Perhaps the Dremmil should stay in the box for another day.

    Cheers budm,

    I presume i would need a solder sucker for such a task? - I remember an electronic pal using one of them years ago - is that what i need, or is there trick method such as getting the first new solder back onto a secondary piece of wire?

    Regards Pozzouk....

    Thanks team, if nothing else is wrong then it is no surprise that the solder joint, or should i say - lack of solder has let down the viability of my screen! So, as that pin and "ex" solder look so oxidized and grubby, i can only think that very careful cleaning with my Dremmil mini wire brush with the aid of my magnifying glass will do the job, before a fresh hit with the 60/40.

    Fingers crossed - will report back later.
    Cheers Pozzouk....

    Cheers for your opinions guys. I guess the message is, carefully clean around the pin and re-solder. When i first saw the damage and all that is written on here, re bad caps and resistors, i had wondered if it were likely that the overheating had been caused by another component further down the line. As it is, other than the obvious problem on the transformer pin there is nothing else obviously wrong.

    So will give it a go and report back.

    Thanks again
    Pozzouk.

    Morning Guys,

    Finally having got my monitor apart i find absolutely no sign whatsoever of capacitor degradation or any cooked transistors - However one of the contacts to transformer PT202 seems a tad cooked and on close inspection there is next to no solder on the printed side of the board presumably it has been cooked away.

    Any ideas or help much appreciated
    Pozzouk.

    PS. My monitor illuminates for about 2 seconds - screen goes to black and the blue light stays on constant but does not flash....

    Hi Everyone, I'm sure i will soon enough find the official intro page but in the mean time can someone tell me how the heck i get the bottom screen screw out of the E431s? I dare say that i need to remove the bottom hinged stand but try as i might i never was much good at Rubik cubes so I'm stumped for the moment.

    Perhaps someone could enlighten me before my 9 year old gets home from school and makes a mug outa me!.....Again.

    Cheers Pozzouk.
