Title: Broken monitor. Take a look and tell me if you see anything that looks broken.
Post by: crazydog on April 20, 2008, 04:49:22 AM: Here's the symptoms:
About a year ago, it just stopped working.
Power LED gives nothing when plugged in.

So I took it apart to take a look at the boards...nothing looks burnt/etc. to me, but maybe I'm not looking for something.

Let me know if you see something weird. (These are full rez, so it might take a bit to DL them)

Seriously, that fuse should be less than a couple bucks at radio shack...

Post by: crazydog on April 20, 2008, 02:37:43 PM: Nope it's not the fuse.

I guess I'll just take it to a little repair place I got my last computer built at. Don't worry, it's not Best Buy. :P

I'd rather do that then risk breaking it, since I don't really have the proper tools to fix it anyway.
