to have sustained damage as well, but I cannot tell its value for
certain. *The board itself is model IP-43130A. *I'm curious if there
are any common failure modes for this board.


If anyone has a schematic/service documents or other troubleshooting
suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!


I am also trying to repair the same monitor and my symptoms appear to
be the same...blue LED flashing. My C111, C112 & C114 appear fine with
some slight bulging at the silver tops but no electrolytic fluid is
showing at the top or bottom. In comparison, my C316 & C317, which are
the same capacitors as the other 3, are flat and are not bulging. The
CAUTION print box to the left of C317 talks about fuse F101 and I'd
like to check it but I can't find it. It shows on the board that it
should be right behind the power cord input but I don't see a fuse of
any kind. I will continue searching for a resolution and if I find
anything helpful, I'll let you know...Please do the same for me. You
can email me directly at . Thanks much! *-Matt


Fuse F101 is right next to the power adapter port. It is small,
round, and brown.
