I had an LG Flatron before. 2-3 years after i bought it something got burnt inside (1 week after the warranty expired), and to fix it i paid ~30$. 1 year later it died again, same thing, another 30$. Depending on the price, you could get it fixed as a temporary solution, but you should buy a newer and maybe bigger screen.

I'm considering it. Someone took it to another tech while I was at work, will see what the tech tell me and the price. I'm using my older monitor, which is older and a LG too, but LCD, 20''. It got fixed once after something burnt inside as well, I bought the monitor that is with problems now when I took that one to get fixed.. Since then it was working fine till early in the year I stopped using it because it started to have noises in the image when you turn it on and it would stay full time. After months w/o using it, now it work better, but noise happen when you turn on for a few seconds.

You could always replace them yourself. Caps are really cheap and soldering them in is not as difficult as you would expect... you just have to make sure you get the positive and negative posts in the correct holes or they will explode. I have to ask though, have you tried a different power brick. It may just be the Caps going bad in the brick itself.

Not sure, but it looks like it takes a 12v 5a power brick. If you have one that outputs the correct volts and amps and has the correct connection type you could us it to test.

I have a 3 year old (or so) LED monitor and after you turn it on and use for some time it goes black screen and come back with image after 5-30 seconds (more or less). Image go on and off more frequently as it's on. I heard it could be a capacitor problem, capacitors aren't holding charge or something, that getting them replaced should fix it.
I took it to a repair shop and the guy told me I should throw it away and buy a new one. He said it don't worth to get it fixed because it's "module" (how he called it) wouldn't last and that monitors with external power supply are cheap and not worthy.
It was kinda a quick weird talk, so I'm not sure if he was telling me the truth or he didn't want to waste his time fixing something that don't give much profit. Any suggestions?
