My monitor just dies last night! Help! Strong burning smell and a blown fuse.
Its a Street Fighter 2 Big Blue 25". The monitor looked superb and then all of a sudden it just completely dies. No glow in the neck. The 2A slow blow fuse is blown. Whenever it died, there was a strong burning smell for about 25 minutes. My friend who was close by said it made some crackling, sparking noises. Does this signify anything? There is only one fuse that I could find and thats the blown one. I didnt see any other fuses. Could it be the iso transformer? What should I check for? My dad has a scilliscope (dont know how spell it) to check the circuits but I wanted to check here first before going and taking the board out. Heres some pics and please notice, in the last pic there is alot of white powder or something coming from that bigger black capacitor. Is that bad? Thanks all.
