So the monitor I have had for about 3 years started flickering yesterday, and today just randomly turned off video.
The following is happening:
-- The monitor is still recognized by my computer
-- The monitor is not sleeping, the green light remains on
-- The screen is completely black, I can not see anything on it even if I use a flashlight
-- I tried turning down the brightness to see if it stays on, but I haven't been able to get into the brightness menu for long enough to do this
-- If I cycle power, the desktop image comes on again for 2s then goes black. I can seemingly do this forever. Anyway it doesn't really help.
So! I took it apart, and measured the voltages across most (I tried all, but I missed some) capacitors. I don't see any bulging, I don't really see anything out of norm physically. I'm attaching the images. Some just raw ones, and then ones with the voltage values on them. I'm particularly interested in knowing why those blue ones measure 0V...? I guess?
I would appreciate some ideas! I can buy a new one, but if I could fix this one, that would be really nice. I know how to solder and stuff.
