Now, without further delay here are some troubleshooting tactics that I hope can help you out
Samsung LCD Monitor Troubleshooting Tips Part 1: Dim Display Condition
Remove the internal cover and carefully examine the inverter board. Don't look at the components yet. I want you to focus on the board first. Do you see any burn marks on the inverter board?
Now inspect the inverter board components. No need to take out your testing tools yet. Just visually examine all components. See any burnt components? Special attention should be paid to the capacitors, P-channel FET and inverter fuse. Damage to any of these components would lead to dim display condition or even total shutdown.
If the P-channel FET is severely damaged, please try to obtain the original part number. Sure you may use a different replacement, but in my experience, it won't last long. Compatibility issue would likely crop up after a while, so it is best you get the original part straightaway.
Samsung LCD Monitor Troubleshooting Tips Part 2: No Power Condition
To save time, you got to isolate the problem as quickly as possible. The problem could be due to either power supply or the main board. So which one is it? Well, what you can do is check the output voltage coming from the power supply.
If the LED indicator does not come on after the main board has received all the voltage from power supply, then the former might need replacement.
The ON/OFF button should be tested as well. An ohmmeter should do the trick!
