Thanks Dave, I'll give the isopropyl idea a try,
followed by closer inspection of the circuit board while the back is off. I have the
circuit schematics but not enough experience with monitors to feel confident touching very
much inside while the circuit is energized. I'll take some photo's if it's
still not working and see if anyone familiar with the circuit sees anything. Once I get
this working I'll be working on a few bad chicklet keys and then I'll have a
complete working system.
Yes, be careful inside monitors, especially if you're not confident of what
you're touching. The tube can have several to tens of kilovolts on it.
Ethan's suggestion of probing around with a wooden or plastic chopstick is
a very good one.
