hi again, im this guy from the previous thread >>3340449
i got the pics of the monitor and the 'leakage' around the high voltage connector
is this a bad thing? the monitor itself is clean, a little dusty but that shouldnt cause any overheating
however, there is a smell to it, it reminds me of burning capacitors, but all of them are in good visual shape, should i test them? i am planning to buy a soldering station, multimeter and ESR meter for capacitor testing in the following days, so i can diagnose (and hopefully fix) it and a lot of other hardware i have
i can post more pics of the monitor, its compaq model 472 SVGA 14" monitor, january 1993 manufacture date, sorry for the poor pic quality, phone is shitty
