My 22" LCD just went dark . When the comp is hooked to it the
power light
does go green when I input , so I'm fairly sure the logic board
is OK . I've
disassembled it and the CCFL's look OK and none of the caps on
the power supply are bulged . I'm not sure it's worth fixing if
it means throwing parts at it . I'd like suggestions on testing
the power supply , and yes I
know there are some pretty high voltages present . The CCFL's
are a bit dark
on the ends , but not as bad as photos of failed units I found on
the interwebs .

Green power light or not, first try hooking it to another system.

Absolutely! The green light can also go on if the video signal is
out of range so there is a possibility the problem is with the
computer and not the monitor.

If the monitor is bad I doubt that it would be worth fixing as a
new 22 inch monitor is probably $150.

Well , I doubt it's the comp , since I'm using it right now with
an older CRT monitor .

That doesn't mean anything!
Actually, it does. It means the computer is functioning. If with the
resolution set to 800X600 it still does not work on the flatscreen, it
meens the flatscreen is dead.

What make/model did you say the dead screen is??
Extremely unlikel to be worth attempring to fix.

I'll be spending part of my tax refund on a new one . I'll also be
spending some on consumibles for the machine shop ... I've been kinda rough
on the smaller end mills while learning .
