Gateway FPD2185W Blue LED - No power issue Part 1 Disassembly

[titanfang]

you had it backwards, the first board is the mainboard (usually nothing is wrong with that board if the psu has issues, the other is the power supply. Sorry I got this exact monitor for free fixed it and just bought another one from ebay for 43 dollars so now I'm using two 21" HD monitors and my cintiq (good investment, learning how to fix broken stuff) lol

No part 2. Makes this video worthless.

I have one of these monitors that a buddy gave to me. I plugged it in and it fried within seconds. Now it wont even attempt to power on. I took it apart and there are 7 or 8 bad caps that I can see. Also the mainboard looks burnt underneath the caps that are shown at 9:20. Do you think it would be worth trying to fix it?

My monitor turns on momentarily, I see a blue light, and data from the bios, but when I release the button, it goes black. It is not latching on. I got it open, and all capacitors look good. Switch continuity is good. It has a power supply board, a video controller board, and the switch board connected in series.

@borderraven same problem here monitor runs for a little while then turns off (blackscreen) but when i popped it open the caps looked ok???

@NerdCasting, I'm thinking low power side of power supply is cutting out and not powering the back-lit LEDs.

what kind of capacitors are needed to be replaced?
