MICROTEK C997SD MONITOR SHUTS OFF AFTER 5-10 MINUTES

SOURCE: monitor makes popping noise when power is on.

It sounds like you might have blown out a capacitor, located in the heart of the monitor circuitry.  WARNING: do not attempt to access this yourself due to the high likelyhood of electrocution to you and others around you.  You'll be fried faster than a piece of chicken from KFC.Step 1.  If you decide to disregard this warning, wear protective eyewear and do not stand in a puddle of water while working on your monitor.Step 2.  Before beginning circuit repair, unplug your monitor from the outlet and let it sit for at least 75 days to give time for all stored electricity to drain out.Step 3. Using a trial and error method, guess which capacitor is working improperly and replace it.Once repairs are complete, plug your monitor back in and see if its working correctly.  If not, repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until it does.Hope this helps.- The Fixfox
