Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

Hey budm,
I have not put it back together yet. I am by no means an electronics technician, just a general contractor who usually uses big hammers to fix things. I know enough to probably be dangerous! Dad was an electrician after WWII and i learned basic electricity from him and i had an Aunt who worked for Bendix making submarine radios in the 50 and 60's and left me her toolbox, but at best i am a researcher who knows how to tinker. i will have to put the display back together to a point i can check the 24v. i read the link about checking the...

Thanks.

The flashlight test produced nothing.
Can you instruct the proper way for me to post pictures to the blog? I have excellent Nikon photos of the three boards,...

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

I have the same problem that i found in this blog with the same monitor. i performed all the steps that were prescribed here, but when i got to the 3 capacitors, they checked the correct ohms on the meter. i am sure it is probably another one, but i am not an electronics guy, but...
