Monitor does not power up (no image, no backlight), but blue power button LED goes on when pressed.
Power supply partly damaged. Replacing one resistor fixed this.
This is only one possible fault of this device, so be prepared that it might not be the reason in your case.

Please note: There are two different boards for the Samsung SyncMaster 245B Power supply. The one shown here is the BN44-00173A (Board A), the alternate one is the BN44-00195A (Board B).
There are 3 main problems with the power supply
- defective capacitors (sometimes, but not always bulged top)
- defective resistors (sometimes, but not always looking burnt)
- defective fuses, simple to check
There are reports of other defects as well! Sometimes it helps to completely resolder the power supply board. Board A is far more likely to show one of the above defects than Board B. For Board A you find much more information and repair instructions. I think Board B is the younger one (redesign of Board A) and less likely to be defective. For this reason you hardly find instructions for Board B.
Board A can still be purchased. Price is usually $60-$85 + shipping. At least some of those boards are not used but used. Read careful...
And Board A is still available from my Samsung repair center.

Some people report success with the above steps, but some of them had the problem showing up again after hours or days. Beside the power supply there is one main second possible reason for a defective 245B: the CCFL-tubes itself. They just wear out after many hours of usage. So if a Samsung 245B shows a black screen in 2016 take this possibility into consideration as well. There are spare CCFL tubes and LED refurbishing kits for displays on the market.
