Finally I feel accomplished in this hobby (my first monitor repair)
been fighting with 2 unknown chassis lately, I felt i needed to just get over them and try my hand on a working one... Worse I could do is make it completely non working right?
So i picked up a monitor a few months ago and couldn't get the focus and brightness to stay dialed in. I decided it was a prime candidate for a cap kit and flyback. so i sucked it up and went to it. decided i could use the semi working flyback to later diagnose the other 2 boards i'm having issues with (hoping it might get me a bit further)
Anyways, i rolled up my sleeves and went to work, i reflowed the issue solder joints everyone recommends as well as a few on the neckboard. The plastic guide piece for the neckboard split in 2 pieces of course when i pulled it as well... That Y92A frame sucks more than debbie did in dallas. C57 was the cap that was starting to jiffy pop (47uf 160v)
long story short i got my big boy pants on now!
Just wanted to share, GO ME!
