Proview 900W LCD Monitor

[kronflux]

hey, I've got an LCD monitor here(as mentioned in the subject, it's a
Proview 900W)
when I hook it up after it's been unplugged for a long time, it works
just fine for a few minutes. anyway, what happens is. after a bit, it
randomly shuts off.
it won't turn back on. and what I mean is, it loses power completely.
no LED's lit, nothing.
if you remove the power cable, and plug it back in, the monitor turns
on, and shows the desktop for a brief moment, then shuts off again.
any clues?

Sounds like the Dick Smith monitor I had, which was a Proview. After a
while, I had to turn it on 10 times + for the thing to turn on.

Its a known issue with Proview monitors (after a while, one of the
components to do with the power fails), and thats what happens

I rang to ask about spare parts, but there were none in stock. So, I biffed
it, and brought a Viewsonic

I would check the electrolytic capacitors in the PSU section first.
The last Proview\DSE I opened had the dreaded Fuhjyyu in it...
Wouldn't be surprised if they were the or at least a part of the
problem.
