Recently, my Hyundai ImageQuest Q910 19" monitor has been acting
up. Occasionally, there would be flashes across the screen,
similar to what you get when a fridge shuts off nearby.

Over a week or two, the flashes become more frequent. One day,
there was a big one, spanning maybe 10% of the frame. Later that
day, I smelled something burning in the monitor and turned it
off in a hurry.

There is no obvious damage inside. Where would you look first ?

Does it actually still work ?

Yes. I've had to use it a couple times and had no problems,
though I haven't left it on longer than necessary (i.e. about a
minute each time).

First suspicion would have to be bad joints. Could be almost
anywhere such as PSU, HOP stage or CRT base. Have a tap around
with a long insulated stick such as a piece of wood dowel. If
you do it in subdued lighting, you might even be able to see
the arcing from a bad joint.

Thanks. What's HOP ? Horizontal Overnight Permission ?
