Hello, i bought a used Dell P1110 monitor with a somewhat odd problem.
When it is cold, it has the notorious overbrightness problem (zero on
the brightness looks like normal brightness). BUT... as it warms up, it
slowly returns to normal brightness (~15 to 20 minutes and 30 to 35 on
the brightness looks normal). I have tried the "color return" feature
which helped a little bit, but not enough. Am i correct in assuming
that the resistor fix for the overbrightness problem will not work in
this case (will it make it normal brightness when cold but too dark
when warmed up)? What could be causing this and how can i fix it?
Thanks.


It changes as it warms up so a component is obviously failing. Sounds like a
job for some freeze spray, you can even buy it at Radio Shack in a pinch, or
use a can of that compressed air duster stuff held upside down.
