CRT 17" Studio display flashing amber/green continuously

I have a graphite 17" CRT display (M6496) that will degauss when plugged in and cycle the LED from amber to green once per second. It does not produce an image when plugged into a working Mac of its vintage.

The analog board looks okay from a visual inspection. No leaking caps, no board damage, no obviously cracked solder joints.

Any idea what might be causing that issue? There's no mention of what a flashing LED means in the Service Source manual.

 
Caps in a SMPS?  I bet it's trying to power up and hitting the current limit because of shoddy capacitors.  Just a guess!
