Always re-flow the solder on all the transformers in the power circuit when re-capping a monitor. :bang head

2 monitors that failed to come back from re-capping, came back after re-soldering the transformer contacts. :clap::attn:

Takes about 2-3 minutes and saves you the trouble of popping the case back open again.

Edit: Make that 3. Though the 3rd one would come on, but it wasn't showing it had a signal, but I resoldered a bunch of connections and it worked again.

You have a reflow oven? :P

No...just trying to keep down the number of times I typed re-solder. :)

You're the second expert who's recommended that in the past 3-6 months.
