Well I think every single one of my 19" LCD monitors had a problem or died at least once now... all either bad caps or suspected bad caps.
Anyway, my 900G completely would not turn on anymore after flickering on and off for a few days. While disassembling it, I noticed the LVDS cable that attaches the main board to the T-con board (?) was glued together. Well, I had to remove the glue, then proceeded onwards. After finding the bad capacitors and replaced them with what I had on hand, I put it back together and powered up...
It was white for 2 seconds and then faded black.
Weird. Same behavior with a DVI signal. Ugh. Did I break the mainboard?
Well, turned out the LVDS cable was loose. Really loose. Probably because I ripped off the hardened ceramic-like glue. For now I used some black tape to stick the wire... don't think it will hold long, but I figure that (A) I know what the symptom is now and (B) I figure I'll be back as the caps I used aren't very good (I need to restock...badly...)
Long story short: Use hot glue or what removable glue do you use for this kind of situation?
