This monitor is identical to the planar pe191m. "anyone care" posted he/she had repaired 15 of these with 2 bad caps in the power supply. I have 4 of these monitors and was wondering if "anyone care" or any one else could suggest which caps normally cause this problem?
-   The monitor simply flashes the power on indicator and goes of. It ***** comes on again except you pull out the power cord and put it back. I was able to observe a twiching sound on the power board indicating inability to of a gate closing after a current flow. It is absolutely difficult to get components her i Georgia. My guess is far from one of the transitorized diodes or the only 4 leg IC "U103" on board. If I can find these two components, I will be fine with the fixing.-   Amesco
I recently came accross one of these monitors (Planar PE191M) with the identical issue. The resolution was to replace the two 470ufd 25V capacitors that are located on the main power board. The main power board also contains the audio circuit and more importantly the inverter circuit that drives the CCFL backlighting. The suspect caps were identified using an ESR meter; if you happen to have one of these meters you can confirm this is the issue with your unit(s), alternatively you can just replace the two capacitors and see if it resolves your issue. Hope this info helps someone out there.

just like antdotwhat my monitor started doing the same thing as theirs on the same date. I turned on my computer and the on light flashed on and of constantly this time with a black screen. I turned the computer off and back on and the monitor started working properly. This morning I turned it on and same thing. I tried turning the computer off and this time it would not work. I tried this several times. I think the monitor is no good anymore.
