hi, this lcd monitor samsung syncmaster 931sw (19 inches) show the picture normally (of seven or snowleopard) for 2 sec then turns black , if you look at a certain angle you see that the picture is still there but as if there was no backlight anymore is there something i could do to repair it?
If your LCD display is turning itself off due to aging capacitors, an easy work around is to turn the brightness down! Brightness goes down, display draws less juice, and you can at least use it. As it warms up you should be able to gradually turn the brightness back up, although probably not all the way. Sometimes this problem manifests itself as a display that turns itself off after a few seconds or will turn itself off and back on over and over again.
Depends on the model, but usually it’s not worth it, and yes it’s the backlights that are gone. If it’s a Samsung of a certain model range (ex: SyncMaster 226BW) check out my answer: SyncMaster 226BW blinks for “a couple of minutes” after turning it on. Torpor
Turning down the brightness did it for me
