I'd like to give this lcd acer a chance before trashing it.
Thanks for the youtube video that shows how to dismantle it. Your 
screenshot is taken at about 5.05 and I guess what you called "ribbon 
cable" would be the LVDS cable that connects the power board with panel, 
wouldn't it be?
My first attempt will be just disconnecting and re-connecting this cable 
and I think I must be very "kind" with its connector to avoid to damage it.
I think it's quite funny to find videos on youtube that show monitors 
fixings because everything seems very easy! In that video the technician 
fixed the issues by changing a couple of capacitors as I could 
understand (my English is very bad!). Therefore I guess it could be 
interesting to remove the 2 boards (power and main) to see if there's a 
died capacitor but only in the case that reseating the ribbon clable 
won't solve my issue. Do you think it will be useless? Do you think it's 
more probable the cause relays on some IC?

If it could be interesting I've found these 2 acer x193w service guides:

1. http://monitor.espec.ws/files/acerv193w_728.pdf
- you can find the lvds cable ("ribbon cable"?) in the scheme at page 48
- the troubleshooting chapter is at pages 35-38: 1) No Power; 2) No 
Picture; 3) Panel Power Circuit; 4) Keypad Board; 5) No Backlight

- the troubleshooting chapter is at pages 29-31: 1) No Power; 2) Missing 
Color; 3) Always show “NO SIGNEL” and you can find the "lvds signal" in 
the "Missing Color" flow chart with the CN8 connector which would be a 
FFC-30/NC connector

Do you think there could be something interesting to point our attention 
to within the troubleshooting flow charts? Eg. some capacitors or 
transistors or else?
