2 years ago, same power supply gave suddenly his last breath just after a couple of months on my desk.
Since then and after I repaired it, I let it breath fresh air by removing its plastic cover for good. In summer, I even keep it cool by a small fan.
Sorry I can't help because I didn't repair it myself.
I am not skilled in repairing other's circuits :( just what I design, for which all schematics are available to the last detail :)
To me in the least, designing and repairing belong to different worlds though both are based on electronics.
I like that idea - opening it up so that it can breath.
Meanwhile, I stumbled across a 12 vdc 3.5a power brick that had been
acquired for a trickle/float charger project for motorcycle and car
batteries. I plugged it into the monitor, after verifying output
polarities. Something inside the monitor immediately began sizzling
and some smoke came out. :(
I'm watching a couple of items on eBay, and checking NewEgg, Amazon,
etc.
