Hi folks,
I think I posted this on here first but I'm not sure :)
Anyway, (slight OT drift here) my '97 vintage 21" PCXAV monitor (the one
with the paper-white case & trinitron screen) has decided to start
flickering and dimming itself. Lee's already given me a couple of pointers
but I thought I'd ask here too in case he's not about.
I've got the PSU here and there's a couple of things on there that make me
worried:

The middle 2 are the front and back of the same components on the board.
Should I be worried that so much solder is escaping/has escaped from the
joints? Also the soldering in 'solder.jpg' looks decidedly iffy. I haven't
checked the resistors yet to see if they've failed.....is it normal for them
to get so hot they burn the board?
Probably more pix to come when I get the logic board out :oD
cheers
