IIRC I got about 5.6v at the contrast pin, are you saying I should see
around 4v? Does voltage higher raise or lower contrast?

I would check the voltage on the contrast pin of the M51387P.
Many IC's run near 4 volts on this pin. I would try connecting a
low voltage adjustable power supply to this pin and change the
voltage and see if that brings the video back.
I have had a couple of monitors where I had to add a resistor
between a voltage source on the board and the contrast pin in order
to supply the proper voltage and get a good video.
Hope this helps....

It has a M51387P IC buffering the RGB signals, so far as I can tell this
is
the culprit. Vcc is ok, varying voltages present at the RGB inputs, zero
on
all three outputs. Anyone have one of these in a scrap monitor before I
order a new one?
