Monitor problem...

[tjc]

Hi all...

I have a question regarding my Samsung SyncMaster 206BW.

About 3-4 days ago the monitor started "flickering" when I boot up.

First day it did this it took about 10 mins to come back on and when it came on properly, it worked fine... np`s atall.

Everyday since then though it`s taken longer and longer to come on properly and today it took about 4 hours (I just left it to see how long it was gona take to come on, if atall)

I`ve read a thread here about the 226BW having bad capacitors and causing flickering on boot up etc... sounds very similar to what my monitor is doing atm although once it comes on properly it works fine as I say...

Anybody got any thoughts as to what it might be?

If it`s the bad caps I may be able to fix it according to the 226BW thread but I`d need to know what others think it may be first.

Thanks.

Mmm...

Nobody got any ideas as to what might be the problem here?

If it`s something like bad caps then I could maybe try to fix it up if not then I`ll just get a new monitor...

Been looking at this one...

If anybody can help with the original problem though I`d be very grateful.
