Flat Screen Monitor Issues

Expand Post »
Ok,

I have this monitor, made by Dell. What happens is when I plug it into a computer and start it up, it looks like it is going to start, by changing from an off screen to a black screen. Then the power LED just blinks. I know it is not the computer because i'm currently using that computer on a different monitor. There is no warranty left. Does anybody have any suggestions????. Thanks.

Re: Flat Screen Monitor Issues

the monitor....Also when you let it sit, you can see the screen like flash really quickly. That happens everytime the the power LED blinks. I opened it up to see if there might be a loose connection or something had fallen off, but everything looked to be in good condition.

Re: Flat Screen Monitor Issues

I know this is basic but make sure to check your wires this happens alot when your in a hurry also make sure the settings are right for the monitor try adjusting the monitor settings them selves. Last check the video card whether its onboard or custom sometimes the monitor looks for more than the card can support.

Re: Flat Screen Monitor Issues

Ok...I know that it has nothing to with the video card, i double checked the cords, and I can't even get into the monitor settings to change anything, i know has something to do with the monitor itself.

Re: Flat Screen Monitor Issues

LCD monitors aren't worth trying to fix in most cases, it's just not cost effective, and CRT monitors are a dime a dozen.

Re: Flat Screen Monitor Issues

Congratulations, the power supply is about the only thing worth checking on those, after that it usually isn't cost effective to pursue them.

The question you need to start thinking about now is why did the fuse blow?
