Does anybody have any experience reparing flat screen monitors. ????
I have several that were given to me. Some light up for a second or two then go black. Others, power button lights, but screen is all black. Any ideas? Repair guides or tutorials?
Have a look to see if this article helps: Dis-assembly and repair of a Dell E173FPf monitor Although written for a Dell monitor, you should be able to apply the same principles to other makes.

my only experience is with a few laptop screens - i don't know if it applies to the standalone ones.
open notepad in full page (for example), and then shine a torch onto the dark screen.
sometimes you can see the image is displayed correctly, but the backlight has failed.
often you can replace a component called an inverter very simply and cheaply to sort the problem. here's a tutorial.
i've had success with a couple of laptops where the screens appeared dead, but a very dim image was in fact showing.
i don't know if your screens work on the same principle, but there it is.
