Long, long time ago i got an old monitor, that got failures everywhere
around. As i watch inside, i was shocked how bad that all was soldered.
I resolder every pin on every board in this monitor. Back to Power:
All problems was solved for years - until it died.

Some think soldering is something like baking a cookie i believe... :)

Sorry, for OT...
