I have a Samsung Syncmaster 920n, which is about nine years old, and just this morning it has started acting up. When it gets powered up, either from switching on the mains or the standby button, if flashes up the desktop momentarily, beeps for a split second (never heard my monitor beep before) and shuts down to black.

I presume this is some sort of power supply issue, i.e. a capacitor or two have blown.

Anyone with experience of this able to confirm this likelihood before I dive in.

Cheers,
Tom.

Not sure what the beeps mean either, but I find a blown cap or several to be likely. Go to town on that bad boy.

Yeah, I just went for it. Ripped that old timer apart and found a 420µf/25V capacitor on the PSU board that was bulged out. Replaced it and the monitor is up and running.
