Hi there,

wondered if anyone had experience of this happening

(1st post but had to re reg)

had a faulty viewsonic monitor - have replaced some bulging caps on the power board on it, but before that i believe the monitor may have damaged the motherboard it was on

when it failed, the monitor was on for 0.5 secs/off for 1 sec, repeated this for about 6 times, then the motherboard failed to boot,

after this the LED on the monitor flashed for a split second then off - replacing some caps on the power board fixed this.

going to check the vga pin voltages coming from the monitor

many thx
