Caleb Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I've had this flat screen monitor for a few years now and sometimes as the computer is starting up the screen's led is lit but no light from the screen.i checked all the connections and all were fine, then i toggled the 3 pin plug into the adapter and it would turn on after a few turns.tried it this morning with no luck so tried a new lad too again to no avail !must it be the power supply thats gone?, both led's are showing so it must be putting some power through just maybe not enough?advice will be much appreciated cheers.

Endohopper Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 If you're certain that the P.C supplying the signal is O.K , and changing power and signal cables to the monitor don't help , then it's pretty much game over . Are you connecting analog or DVI ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 cheers for the input just tried my monitor on another computer and again no picture visible.I have a hunch it could be the power supply, and i have a spare my brother got for his laptop but need to find the adpater to allow it to slot into my screen snugly.will update once tried.

Tomm Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Try it using the other connection (DVI) if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 theres only 4 slots, dc in, dvi d (metal plate blanking this), d-sub( which im using atm) and line in( which im guessing is for headphones etc as it looks to be a 3.5 mm port.Was all working fine last night, and now just nothing!if i take the 3 pin lead from the power supply block and push it back in theres a quick flash on the screen then nothing . . .?

Tomm Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Oh maybe it doesn't have DVI input then.If you look really closely is there anything on the screen at all? The backlight may have gone which means you get a picture (and a power LED) but no brightness at all. But you can sometimes see a really dim picture.

But you can sometimes see a really dim picture.I cant see anything what so ever, just the green led is showing, ive tried with a different power supply now correct voltage etc and im getting the same results.I presume the monitors is gone? seems weird how it was working fine last night and now its just died on me.its just a 17" montior perhaps its time to look for a new one, right when im totally skint too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
