first flat screen from the trash

First one. I think, cool, I can open it up and replace the bad capacitors and sell it. I get home and find a cord for it. I plug it in and it freaking works. How about that?
No need to break out the soldering iron.

Parrothead, let that monitor run cause they can also have a problem of being intermittent (picture going in and out) and by running it your getting everything good and warm. They may have just graduated on up to a larger monitor.
