I did what you said and found the capacitor. Got new one at Radio Shack and
now it powers up like it should. Thanks!!!

I have a Tatung TCM-1002 monitor. When turned on a green light by the
power switch flashes but no picture. If I hold hair dryer on one corner of
smaller circuit board it comes on and stays on. Any ideas?


Are there any electrolytic capacitors in that area, and is it the power
supply section? Electrolytic capacitors are notorious for causing this
sort of problem.

Let the monitor cool and heat each component in the area with the tip of a
soldering iron, taking care not to damage them. Try and power it on
between times. That should help you pinpoint the offending part.
