Afternoon all,
Firstly, I'm glad I found this place via Mr Google.
My LG Flatron W2243S-PF has had an intermittent fault for a looooong time The fault is:
It's now in a period of having this fault, which is making it nigh on unusable. I am keen to repair it as I have lots of cool Nerf Gun 3d printing projects to get on with using CAD software, and it's my biggest monitor.
I am reasonably experienced with a meter / soldering iron from various projects (and volunteering at a local repair cafe), but my level of electronics knowledge is by no means expert.
So, although I am not having 2 seconds to black issues, I have the correct tools:
a) a multimeter
b) camera to take clear focused pictures
c) solder iron to replace components with optional desolder wick or pump
and personality traits
a) ability to follow directions
b) some troubleshooting skills
c) determination
d) willingness to learn
e) patience
... to have a crack at fixing the monitor.
I came here because Mr Google suggests the caps might be bad. I have taken the boards out and there are no obviously damaged components, though some of the solder joints look dry, or bubbly.
I see from other threads that images are desirable. Happy to provide those, but I'd like some direction as to what photographs to take so I don't just spam the thread with images.

My LG Flatron W2243S-PF has had an intermittent fault for a looooong time The fault is:
- It simply turns off during use; or
- refuses to turn on, and
- flashes its red power light.
- It sometimes does this multiple times a day;
- it sometimes does this for weeks on end; and
- it sometimes works completely fine, for days or weeks on end.
