Probably depends on how comfortable you are working with smt (surface mount technology) & having/access to the proper tools. Most newer electronics use lead free solder & that can be a real PITA :-( If you have access to newsgroups, there's an electronic repair group & you could run that past them. Most folk there will recommend purchasing a new monitor though :-) > Rick B. taharka Lexington, Kentucky U.S.A.
