Dark patch on monitor
Once in a while I get a dark patch on one of my monitors. Its a 24" DELL P2412H.
The dark patch is about the size of my hand, up from the bottom, on the right side of the monitor.
Clearly an issue with one of the back-lights.
For now, turning the thing off, then on, seems to help - it always comes back with all the back-lights on, and equal brightness as far as I can tell. But I wonder if it's likely it can be "fixed".
Anyone got experience with this sort of thing? e.g. Is there a reasonable chance if I open it up I might find a dodgy electrolytic capacitor I can replace? Or is this a sign that the light itself is on the way out, and is that generally a hassle (or mostly impossible) to replace?
I've got some basic electronics and soldering skills, but I'm definitely on the [L] plate side of things.
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
