Hi, quick question. I have on of these, Sampo SME-23DV3.

It shuts off after an hour, so I need to just turn it back on. Then it turns off after 10 mins, so I turn it back on. Then 5 mins, etc, until it doesn't boot. I have just heard that the PCB "just needs to be resoldered, since it's an old monitor". Has anyone else heard of this? He said that a TV repairman fixed two of his big CRTs for $15 each.

Thanks, D

sounds like a heat related problem, likely poor joints. check the faq

on resoldering and checking for bad connections. READ AND OBSERVE THE SAFETY INFO! there are letal volages in these units. get it to a tech if you are unsure of your capabilites. good luck, B.,
