First of all, thank you for peeking at my post!

Secondly,

I know absolutely nothing about monitors, how or why they work - I just expect that when I turn it on that it not kill me with noxious fumes.

My monitor is an off brand, I-INC iH282 28 inch, that I purchased about three or four years ago. Worked brilliantly up until about two days ago and then fumes.

I took the back off and I think I may have nailed down where the smell is coming from.

That's a picture of it with its back off,

Here's a picture of some kind of board

and here's a picture with an arrow pointing at the thing that I believe is making the terrible smell.

Does anyone happen to know what the board in picture #2 is called so I can possibly look for replacements/does anyone happen to know a place that might sell replacement boards?

Thank you so much!
 
I am so sorry! I don't know how to re-size the pictures! I didn't realize they would try to take over the universe!
 
I made the mistake of trying to view this thread on a netbook.
*glances at giant-sized capacitors*
 
you can resize pics in Win7 easily (mspaint now opens jpg and MANY other file types) reduce that stuff by 50-75%
 
is that anti-static or tinfoil on the monitor? if so what's it for?
 
Awesome, thank you.

Not sure about the foil tape stuff. It was in there when I opened it.


Is it normal for those things to burn out - or did I just luck out with mine?

Thanks for showing Him though :)

fsp120-4pi03, it is silk screened right on the board

but yeah, I should be less of an ass

the foil tape is ground shielding, looks like they used it for cable management as well
