Factory Fault on HP1703 circuit board

At the foreign factories that HP uses, the power circuit board for many of these displays were given a latent problem. The silicon paste they used eventually causes internal components to heat and this translates into a display that goes blank during the first 10 sec. of use. This phenomena starts occuring after 2 or 3 years of monitor usage.
The fix is easy to find in the internet, but otherwise after fixing them, these monitors are excellent. The look is modern with a silver bezel on a dark blue case. I love the blue power button that seems to fit so many HP products.
The stand for this monitor is wonderful, it bends in many up/down/sideways to allow almost any frontal view.
