My bad, this one, right?

The number is rather hard to read, partly because of the surface, partly because of the component age (I'm guessing) had to grab a magnifying glass and blast it with light from the right angle.
Anyway, as far as I can tell it goes as follows:

OZ9938GN (The "O" could be a zero but I'm leaning more towards O as it does look slightly wider than the zeros)
A86710 20
0924B...

Thanks for the reply!



Will do as soon as I can verify that my meter is showing proper readings.
Also thanks for clarifying the role of the resistor, that definitely had me wondering.


Back of the panel says it's an INNOLUX panel, but I'll be sure to check; I was gonna give that another look anyway after what CapLeaker suggested in his reply.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing - ​are we talking about the chip in the attached picture? Just asking because it has 8pins, and...

Thank you for your reply, it's much appreciated!

I'm gonna look into inspecting the DMM /replacing it as soon as I'm out of the nightshift loop and can actually get stuff done during the day, after that I'll look into the transformers as you suggested.
Battery is fine, and leads seemed fine but I'll double check.

On the subject of cold solder joints; these should be found if I continuity test, right?

My assumption on the CCFLs being okay came from the fact that both the monitor's lamp (only on that one specific connector) as well as the completely...

Greetings folks!

The name's Tim, and I somehow found my way onto here a long time ago while digging up info on the forum's namesake: bad caps.
Eventually made an account to explore some more, looking through other people's issues, perusing guides and browsing for schematics.
Thanks a bunch to all of you who have maintained this forum for all these years and continue to provide us with all of the info that is collected on here.

Best wishes!
