Monitor is a gateway lp2417
screen is blinking continuously on one sec off one sec....
It's definitely a monitor problem. Did it when I bought it to repair it does it on every cpu or unconnected.
indicator light doesn't blink and if Im adjusting settings(through the blink) settings gump doesn't disappear so it maintains power at least to a point.
Anyway, I took the boards out and at least with just visual inspection, there aren't any obviously bad capacitors.
Any Ideas what components might cause it to blink like this?
Could a capacitor cause this? Id really hate to pull out and test 40 capacitors to find its not the problem. Are there some other components I could rule out first?
And Which board should I suspect? Power,Inverter,control or Im not sure what the other one is it's a small board which a 2" ribbon cable disappears into the monitor. It only contains micro components.
Thanks in advance
