Last time I went to a pawn shop, my wife almost divorced me... Wait you mean PAWN shop....? Sorrrryyyy. :-) Jong

Oh I hate you.... And now I hate my 15 Mhz scope (that I bought for $15). ==== And by the way...? what city is this, that people trash such nice toys ?? Any gold bars for $10? Jong

Yardsales. It is going to be tough to find one quite that cheap that isn't very old and with problems. Maybe a single trace 5MHz. Or you might get lucky. Are you anywhere Tacoma, WA? I have a couple

Ah... but all due respect to the great ST, I bought an o-scope on eBay for $15 (or was that $25) and it works.? It is just 15 Mhz, but for my hobby / learning experimentation, it is still great.? It

eBay, if you are lucky. Estate sales, if you are lucky. Pawn shops, if you are lucky. Fortuitous things do happen, just not for me. Reese

Sure. Though, I think it's just low quality manufacture and expected failure rates. I've usually left the monitor on, relying on the OS to blank the screen after about 20 minutes of inactivity. On the

Depending on where you are located Google for "hamfest" (ham radio swapfest). Over the years I've picked up all kinds of interesting stuff. Keith Bowers WB4LSJ- Thomasville, NC

Cool, thank you for the pointer. I'll have to disassemble the screen a bit further to access the backlight. There's a gang of about a dozen wires that go to the monitor in one wiring bundle, 4 others

Try to search for an old Heathkit or Eico scope that was built up from a kit. You might find someone who has one in garage, attic, or basement that they would love to get rid of. They might even have

Yard sales and flea markets. I bought an EICO 430 5MHz recurrent trace scope for $10. A few years later, I got a Heathkit 4205 5MHz dual trace triggered scope for $8. Last year I got a Phillips PM3267

In some kind of junk/surplus sale. Even on ebay you can find one, just don't expect it to work. It would be much easier to fix than to make one from a monitor. ST

where can I get a scope for $10?

To Reese and others who were after the capacitors (me included). Please keep the subject handy. There must be something wrong with design or manufacturing them if so many of them fail. Vaclav PS Last

If the backlight inverter looks like it would function individually keep it, they often go bad and are easy to replace as a module. What you don't want is an inverter with many control wires, but one

All, I am throwing in the towel on the LCD monitor itself. Please cease and desist all discussions of the LCD Monitor circuit board under this thread. Or elsewhere. I have purchased a replacement LCD

Thanks Rob, now I know I am not that senile . I'll look for it again there. Actually I was looking for the article because they did have some comments on why they did it. I was thinking to use their

The only relation this display should have with a scope is with the type of scope mounted firmly atop a high powered rifle. I've shot a television before and the result was most satisfactory. Yours in

Joe in Texas: CRT monitors are a horse of a different wagon compared to LCD animals. The power supply is an integral part of the CRT monitor, not a little black box detatched from the main circuitry.

For what it is worth,,,i have repaired around 3000 crt monitors,,,a couple dozen of these lcd,,power supplies,,,replace ALL Electrolytic (sp)Caps,,,remove any glu,,,it worked for me every time. Joe
