Default WANTED: Computer monitor repair in Boston MA

Anyone willing to repair a computer monitor - for pay, of course - in
the Boston MA or north shore areas?

I have a high end multisync Relisys 15" monitor where I know a large
power resistor became desoldered. It still powers up and the status LED
blinks but no display. I don't feel comfortable working on high voltage
stuff myself. It has a great display - up to 1600x1200 dpi - and I'd
like to get it repaired it possible.

E-mail me private if you want the repair job, or know of any shops in
the region still repairing computer monitors. (And no - Stereo Component
Service doesn't repair computer monitors any longer. And no - the TV
repair shops in the region won't touch computer monitors. At least all
the ones I checked.)

Thanks

Rick

Non generic parts and service information for your type of monitor are
impossible to have. The authorized dealers don't want to work on them any
more, because it does not pay for them to do so.

Most of the time, they power supply and the horizontal scan and high voltage
circuits fail. It can take a number of hours of troubleshooting to service a
monitor with your described fault.

I think you should consider a good quality LCD monitor at this point.

That monitor is worth $40, tops. Do you really think it is inteligent
use of resources to spend $200 repairing it?
