Recently, my Hyundai ImageQuest Q910 19" monitor has been acting
up. Occasionally, there would be flashes across the screen,
similar to what you get when a fridge shuts off nearby.

Over a week or two, the flashes become more frequent. One day,
there was a big one, spanning maybe 10% of the frame. Later that
day, I smelled something burning in the monitor and turned it
off in a hurry.

There is no obvious damage inside. Where would you look first ?

Does it actually still work ? First suspicion would have to be bad joints.
Could be almost anywhere such as PSU, HOP stage or CRT base. Have a tap
around with a long insulated stick such as a piece of wood dowel. If you do
it in subdued lighting, you might even be able to see the arcing from a bad
joint.

If that is a CRT monitor, the Fly back is suspect!.

I have had this on some models of monitors. Most of the time it was
the flyback transformer and HV multiplier assembly. Sometimes the CRT
was arcing internally.

I don't want to dissapoint you, but you should be seriously shopping
for a new monitor.

Methinks he wanted to fix the son of a bitch he has now, not replace a
nice CRT with a crappy LCD.
