Being careful not to make any contacts, I gave it some power in it's dissected state.

I tore into the thing after doing some safety related reading and determined that I couldn't see any capacitors that were really toasted or burst. After many youtube videos and a great deal of forum reading I found that it was likely a capacitor issue. It now goes an entire day without turning on though so it's pretty much unusable unless I'm working at my computer all day, in which case it might come on some of the way through it. I disabled my screensaver and would just let the image run on it until it decided to wake up. This problem was originally circumnavigated by simply just going without it for five to ten minutes until it was good and ready. Once it powers on it will keep going until it either goes into sleep mode or is turned off for about 5 minutes. That is until it warms up and decides that it wants to work. The power light will not come on and it simply won't turn on. Probably picking up a Craigslist replacement here in the near future so this is definitely just a post because I am interested in the the issue.Īlright with that said I am working on a LG Flatron L1751S-BN monitor that recently developed a pretty interesting little quirk.

This is my first post on this forum and I am just trying to fix this monitor in my spare time as it recently stopped working. First I would just like to state that this isn't one of those "please help me I desperately need you to fix this for me" posts.
