Re: Asus vw246h 2 secs to black help please

hello m8 thank you for the reply im going to try and access the broken lamp tonite/check the cable for continuity.as for sourcing a new one i wouldnt know where to start will i find a code or number on the old one or is it more technical?
if any one from the uk on here knows of a reputable source for ccfl,s it would be a big help many thanks gareth

hello all
right i have an asus vw246h that started to flicker a little bit hardly noticable this lasted for a month or so and then came the 2 sec to black problem. in all my haste i changed all of the caps except the big 1 on the power/inverter board which made no difference still has 2 second to black . so back to bad caps for more reading and found this lamp testing with out a spare lamp

b) Alternatively, if you do not have a spare CCFL, then try this test.

a) TURN POWER OFF and unplug the monitor and wait 1 minute
b) disconnect all CCFLs expect...
