ACER 1916B LCD Monitor won't start when cold



It seems this 19" LCD won't start up when it is cold. If you leave it
for a bit then it will eventually start up. The customer reported that
it had a swimming effect, but I did not see that happening. I did notice
that the backlight seemed to dim and brighten on it's own once in a
while.

I'm assuming that the CCFL tubes or the inverter are the cause of the
dimming, but the startup problem is weird. The screen blinks the LED and
you hear a high voltage like squeak and the lcd flashes bands
momentarily, but no pic or menu is displayed. After it gets warmed up,
it will run for days without incident.

I really hate to throw this one out without trying to solve it's
problems. It's a 2005 model.

Any ideas out there?
