Hello
This is akin to a necrobump, but I actually can't find the thread I wrote a long time ago.
I have an LG 2241T LCD monitor. It works fine for the first half hour or so. Then it starts flashing and I have to turn it off.
In the past I was advised to try checking for blown capacitors. That's the most common issue. Now I have opened the monitor, and to my utter horror, all capacitors are ok. The easy solution is not the correct one! I ran my finger over all of them to make sure they were flat on top.
What else can I do to resolve the issue?

Is the below board the one you checked?Show Image(http://p1.vatera.hu/photos/3d/db/c517_1_big.jpg)

Thanks TP4, yes I checked below and there was a board that looked the same (except mine had 9 capacitators instead of the 8 in the photo). All tops flat and shiny.
Considering how much effort I had to go to in order to remove the monitor backing, I'm really disappointed. Nothing on my board looked out of place (no rust, stains, anything obviously bad.)
If you cant figure out the problem you can try work arounds. Maybe try lowering brightness or using a different output instead. I had a monitor that on hdmi would go black fairly often and come back after a couple seconds but worked completely fine on vga.

awesome idea; thanks! I haven't tried this before!
did you check if it's the computer?
next time this happens, just hit restart on the pc see if it comes back..
