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!

Hi,
One time bad batch of caps affected monitors, mother boards.
If the monitor is sick due to those caps. Replacing them usually
revives it. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.
