Looking for anyone who can give me some insight on the feasibility of this mod. I have a BENQ XL2430T monitor and for the last couple years it has had this issue where all of the back-lights are left ON when I turn the monitor OFF. It's apparently a rare issue but my warranty is up and it's terrible to sleep with so I am trying to find a way to fix it myself. I could unplug the monitor which will cut the power and solve the issue but that's a bit tedious. Is there a way I can solder a power switch to the power connectors inside the monitor to toggle the power manually? I have the equipment but I'm not sure if there are any precautions I should know about, or if this would even work. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
Thank you very much for the kind words! Don't get me wrong, I tried to build an appealing PC. But it's the piece of mind when having a functional, efficient, build that was the real driving force behind this.
Disregarding RGB and fancy components, I aimed to build a PC that exemplified function over form. The monochromatic components will hopefully allow for some cool fluids in the future. Please let me know what you think!
