so I received a flat screen computer monitor for graduating high school. Its a good monitor, don't need to upgrade in the foreseeable future; until it had a power up problem.It would turn on for a second or 2, then black out. Meaning no power whatsoever. I got around it by unplugging the damn thing for a while, 2 mins, and it would be fine. This went on for about a year.Recently my buddies and I wanted to play an online game at one of there apartments. So I packed up my computer and went over, it went fine, everything booted up without a hitch. When I got back home the screen wouldn't even turn on, no 2 second on/off behavior or anything. I hit it a few times, maybe something was loose? Nothing.I googled for a troubleshoot, or other problems people have had with the same model. Apparently the capacitors within the power supply need replacing.So after around an hour of trying my "quick fix", I sat in my chair and concentrated on where the power supply was within the unit, condensed and guided yellow energy into the broken power supply, capacitors, and the rest of the monitor. I tried the power button one more time with no avail.feeling defeated, I went to bed. The next day, to my surprise, my younger sibling was on my computer. I asked what they did to fix it, and they responded "I just did that thing you do when it doesn't work".To this day it has worked perfectly, no power problems.What I wanted to point out is: without knowing why something is doing what it is, you're just throwing energy at it expecting it to fix itself. Its important to educate yourself.
