i bought a 40 dollar LCD (19 inch, i figure not much of a loss if its broken)

and from the knowledge i have of PCs (goin to school for engineering)… the power supply is busted and i suspect its the capacitor.

i have 2 options, build ANOTHER power supply, or fix the current one, anyone with some insight here

NOTE:: i suspect the capacitor because it makes a constant click noise.. it powers up for a second then dies...... then powers up for a second, then dies…

alright.. let me ask a different question.
Anyone know how to ‘judge’ voltage inputs from wire coloring…

black being grounds, reds being 5 volts… anyone know (or have a general idea) what other colors are?

If we take an ATX standard PSU then:
Black = Ground
Red = +5V
Yellow = +12V
Orange = +3.3V
Green = Turn-On (if you want constant power solder it to a black wire)
Brown = 3.3V Sense. (Should be connected to Orange(the small one).

thanks for the input… im just afraid to wire it up that way… because i know those colors are the general ones.. but i dont wanna blow up the monitor
the colors are gray, brown, black, light brown, white, green, blue, red, orange, and purple… ill have to run some tests before blowing up my monitor....
