Answer» My monitor wont turn on so I'm wondering if the picture's of the INTERNAL chip's are defective or anything. They look fine, check the PSU and connectors. The wire's are fine. I don't really KNOW what you define as a PSU but on this monitor there is a Power Board which is the first picture i attached.Hard to tell from the pictures, most of it looks OK, but there is a fuse in there. That's the first thing I would check.isnt it supposed to be transparent? i mean it all white... Fuses are almost always clear glass so you can see if the element is OK or burnt out, but I've seen a few like this. I don't know what the thinking behind this is. Sometimes something like this isn't so much of a fuse as an direct electrical connection. Hard to tell. If you have a multimeter, pull the fuse and check the resistance across both ends. If there is continuity it's OK. If there is no continuity, the fuse is bad. If you don't have a multimeter, just pull it and take to Radio Shack, or somewhere similar and get a new IDENTICAL one (you might have to buy them in a five pack). It shouldn't cost that much, at least it should be cheaper than a new monitor.

Ceramic body COULD be high voltage. Can't see the bulged caps. The backside of the board looks a bit discolored, could be the flyback transformer (black one) is shot. That's what usually goes on a CRT monitor. Quote from: Computer_Commando on July 12, 2010, 05:17:25 PM Slo-Blo fuse vs Fast-Blo. Ceramic body could be high voltage. Can't see the bulged caps.
