I replied after finding the real problem. I soldered the connector securely
back to the PC board and it works as good as new. all that was wrong was the
solder joints broke loose, I would assume cause of moving the monitor the
stress on the box probably contributed to the joinds breaking loose. but as
I said they were resoldered and I added a little extra solder to strenghten
the connection. its a nice monitor too. very big picture and it was free!
I guess it was worth the time to disassemble it to diagnose the actual
problem and be able to repair it easily. so whoever threw it out im sure
would be ****ed to know it was an easy fix. oh well they probably had enough
money and bought a new one. I mean after all the one they threw away was
only a few years old, and 19" monitors arent cheap. better for me cause I
put it to good use

To have proper reliability, why not properly solder the connections
back???
