This was an interesting one:
I work in a small PC/Cell Phone/Grocery/Random store near my house, and some teenager brought in an HP monitor(an HP w1907) it would turn on and then turn off, he then proceeded to sell it to my boss for $2 dollars. My boss asked me to see what was wrong with it and I did some research.
It turned out that this specific model had an issue with a wire on the back light coming loose and detaching from the solder, so he had me take it home and told me that if I fixed that screen for him, he would give me another screen that was doing the same thing. I proceeded to spend 6 hours 8-o taking it apart, repair the problem, and put it all back together. Once I got back to work yesterday, He handed me a box and this was what was in it:
It's an I-Inc 19 inch display, model ic194dpb.
It's a standard display(not widescreen), and has a resolution of 1280 X 1024, with an aspect ration of 5:4.
I tried plugging it in once I got it home and it made a faint sound, so I instantly knew what it was, Bad capacitors on the power board, so now I'm waiting for my paycheck so I can order new Caps(9 total have to be replaced).
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
