Dell 1504fp (LCD) keeps going to standby??
 

helo,
I have a Dell 1504fp (15" LCD Monitor). After it has been on for an hour or
so, it goes to standby. standby button brings it out for a sec, then back
out. I am guessing something is overheating. The design prevents me running
it with the circuitboards exposed so I cant use hot air/freeze spray to
track down component.

Any ideas where to look? what type of components are likely candidates?

All help appreciated.

Do you see any components on the circuit boards that you could
replace even if you could localize the problem?

Hello,
I managed to run it with the boards exposed. I have checked all
electrolytics for esr and shorts (all ok). Sprayed freeze spray over of the
components (few at a time, then in a desperate attempt- all at once)- no
improvement seen?? Guess it cant be an overheating problem (unless it's
inside the actual LCD panel- didnt spray that cos it would probably be
damaged).

It's got me stumped!!

This is a long shot but maybe it is an issue with your video card. Try it on
another pc and see what happens.
