Just thought I'd throw this one out to the masses to see if I could get any pointers. I'm basically a n00b when it comes LCD repair. I've acquired a nice looking Samsung 245BW 24" LCD Monitor for next to nothing, however it does not display a picture.
When plugged in, the blue power light comes on, but the backlight does not kick on, and by shining a flashlight on the LCD panel at various angles while 3DMark was running, I could not see the pixels changing either.
I've already disassembled the thing, merely unplugging everything, and checking capacitors (nothing burst or obviously problematic that I could see) But no luck.
Any clues as to what the culprit could be here? Inverter? Processor board? Power Supply even?
If I could figure this out and get this sucker running, I'd love to have it on my desk for editing HD video. I noticed on eBay it seems sellers have individual pieces of this monitor for sale for $30ish + shipping. Would be sweet if I could somehow pinpoint the faulty component(s).
