Hello, first post over here.
I recently picked up several nice LCD monitors from a recycling event. They all have similar issues of powering on for several seconds and then flickering out. One of them flicks on for about 1/4th of a second, another does more flickering and takes 1-6 seconds to turn off, and the third stays on until anything moves on screen than flickers to darkness.
I've read a lot about capacitor replacement, have basically seen two suggestions: replace the bulgy leaky ones, or replace them all. Anyone have experience in diagnosing a capacitor problem when none are bulgy/leaky? Are there any other common dead parts to be replaced for flicker issues like I'm having?
And finally, my research suggests that the UF value is critical, the voltage value is a minimum and should be limited to a variance of ~30%, and that the temperature value is not paid much attention too. Does anyone here disagree?
Thanks in advance,
Cosmo
