    dv172 delayed boot

    my diamond view 172 monitor will not display anything for some 20 min or more after I turn the computer on (have tried two dt xp computers and a laptop). All it shows is a blinking light, yellow at first, green later at about 5 sec intervals. I have tried different power and video cables - no change.
    Eventually it comes up with a normal boot and once it is running, goes on forvever without problems; rebooting is OK. I also noticed that the display does not show the NO VIDEO sign at first but if it is running and I pull the video cable, it does.
    I suspect that the culprit is somewhere in the internal power supply - this model plugs directly into mains.
    Would appreciate any hints.

    dried out lytics in psu or worse dried out smt lytics on logic board.
    they work well enough when warmed up to work(for now)
