First, remove your monitor main motherboard. Then resolder ALL the pins of
any external connectors on that board. Then with a diode test meter, verify
that all you power transistors are OK. If they are, then you can try the
chassis again, if any are shorted or open, then post the info as to which
ones and someone will take it from there...
