• Monitors backlight failing...
    1 replies, posted
Since a couple of days ago my monitor takes a few tries to get the backlight lit up, This morning it took 7 'on-offs' to get it lit up. The monitor only had a 2 year warranty, it's out now... My dad can take it into his work and fix it (he's an electrical engineer for Siemens) but I'm just wondering if there is anything else I can do before then, because he's not back at work until after Easter now. It's a Samsung 225BW btw, which are now not sold anywhere, They were limited edition ones. I'm guessing it's just the CCFL starter fucking up because once it's actually on it works fine, it's just getting the thing to turn on initially.

Just let your dad fix it. Better than you messing with it and possibly breaking it.
