Capacitors

power supply is a seperate brick. but if it this thing burns up o well i guess. was worth the try.

the problem with the monitor is that when it turns on it lights up and you can see the display say “no signal.” the no signal is not the problem because its not plugged into the computer. BUT after a few seconds the backlighting goes out. you can still see the message on the screen. Now this lcd has two boards inside. one im guessing to process the signals and the the other, where the blown cap is, to turn on and power the backlighting. I know this because i removed the board with the blown cap and turn the monitor on. It still turned on BUT the backlighting did not come on this time, only the message in the background.

…free to me turns into money when sold. how is that not worth it? we must all be so rich that 50 bucks aint worth it anymore. that doesn’t matter though. it is not being sold. my dad wants to give it to my brother.
