Well, my Samsung syncmaster 753df 17" flatscreen CRT monitor gave up about 6-8 months ago. Now, when I turn it on (doesnt matter if its plugged into anything), I just get a solid green/brown color which doesnt appear to variate, or if it does, very very slightly. It doesnt bring up its little menu, it doesnt respond at all to the onscreen controls, it doesnt display a no signal message, or anything else, no matter what I do.. Now, the fact it actualy turns on and displays a color is good, no? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it means the tube and power circuitry is good? SO, whats wrong? What chips are there, and what can I do about checking/replacing them if they are bad? What about the electron gun? (theres 3, right?)
Any ideas for stuff I could check or try to revive this thing? I really dont want to scrap it, and nobody anywhere around here does monitor repair which doesnt involve the monitor sitting in the back of the shop for 10 months.
Thanks guys, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but it would seem to corrolate most closely to modding.. ;)
