ACER monitor screen fading to black/grey - likely hardware culprit?
I have an ACER XV340CK monitor which has developed an issue where, after some hours use, the screen fades to black/grey. This fading begins at the edges of the screen and moves to the centre of the screen. It takes maybe 1 second to fade completely,
The blue power LED remains on even when the screen has faded, and Windows still sees that the screen is connected and is attempting to send data to it.
The issue can be resolved by turning the monitor off for a few minutes, then back on. It is starting to happen more frequently - several times a day.
I've tried drivers and different cables, so 99.9% sure this is a hardware issue. It's out of warranty though and the cost of repair via a service centre is likely uneconomical.
Is this symptom commonly associated with a certain component - e.g. a power board, or TCOM - both boards are available on ebay so could be replaced? The power board in particular looks quite simple on the ebay pictures, so if the issue is commonly power board related, is there even a fix for that (e.g. is this be a sign of failing capacitors on that power board, etc).
I have the soldering equipment to do phone board repairs so could easily do part replacements on these boards if needed and could follow troubleshooting instructions with a multimeter if anyone experienced and competent has any ideas.
