20 Most Recent ViewSonic G90fb 19" CRT Monitor Questions & Answers

Sounds like one of your buttons on the front of the monitor is stuck in the "ON" state as if someone is pressing an holding onto the button to adjust brightness. Recommend sending the unit for service repair.

Hello,

you need to press together two of the buttons on the display, if you would post the brand and model of the display to me, or find your manual and go read it - part about osd lock, you will find how to unlock it, if you don't have a manual post me the brand and model and I'll check the manual for you on how to turn it off and on.

Looks like a virus attack to some extent. Run a virus scan. If that doesnot work, then check the keyboard and replace it.

The monitor is going bad. It can be serviced but the cost to fix or adjust is not worth it. You may be able to adjust it yourself but A) you need to know what you are doing and B) Accept the risk of completly ruining the monitor or even worse electricuting yourself by accidentialy touching one of the high voltage circuits. A carry in service repair shop will charge about $125.00 to $200.00 to fix it. A new LCD flatscreen is a much better choice it will cost the same or less and will pay you back in time just from the energy savings. My condolences.

check the 5v regulator Ic On the PCB. Replace by a new one

Setting the resolution.

1. Make sure that the monitor supports 1680 x 1050.
2. If you are running Windows XP or Vista, right-click the desktop screen and then go to "Properties".
3. Go to Display tab.
4. Change the resolution with your desired one.

Have great day!

Set the "Resolution Notice" to "OFF" in the Setup Menu of your Monitor or alternatively try installing your Monitor Drivers again using the CD which came with your monitor.

try to log in safe mode and reinstall the display adaptors or uninstall them and reboot

Base on the information given to me.

I think your computer is on sleeping mode.

first thing check if the video cable is not loose connecting the pc.

because what would happend, if it is loos it would turn on and off at times.

The other thing you can do.

right click on the desktop.
go to properties
go to screen saver
click on power

adjust the time you want your monitor to shut off.

FIRST WE DO NORMAL AND LATER TRUE CAUSE. gee that is normal on all monitors and by Energy Star laws too. the monitor if the PC is dead or in speed mode, shuts of in 15 to 90 seconds, all do, every one. the monitor has self sleep, all do. everyone ever made did. even back to CRT days. and the OSD button goes dead after. that. too. fooling the untrained. here is the first tests, NO PC connected at all power on see power light glow correct color then see Viewsonic splash screen push the menu button now. quickly, if button dead hold it for 10 to 15 second to reverse the button lock now, see OSD works. if you test the monitor on a good PC not in sleep mode the but working PC, your monitor is ok. this monitor is very very old, 2004? it has CCFL back lamps not LED< and all fully used CCFL lamps are now no good, used 8yrs a day at 5years are no good. that is why we use LED back lamps now. this is what they do: all do , used fully. 1: goEs dead forever, (vast did) 2: INTERMITTANT . (BINGO YOU ) OR INVERTER DEAD. 3: DIM BULBS (like me. lol) 4 TURN YELLOW FOR WHITE screens. 5: STROBEs. (FLASHes) AND A VERY EXPENSIVE SURE, THAT. AND LABOR.

power on and power on led glows normal , not yellow or flash. then this happens splash. attached, 2014 made. then that tells you screen is NOT DEAD is it? now? here? (PC is dead or missing)

• NO connections on 1 or more inputs.
• NO sync
• no signal
• OUT OF RANGE

and goes black screen NEXT,. if all that fails power supply is bad. if all that works the menu button works for 15 seconds turned on with no PC, and also works on all PCs if connected to one that are all good and not sleeping. test the monitor on 2 PCs if confused.

that means just what it tells you the PC is dead, PC video dead or video cable unplugged , dog chewed it , pins bent or plugged in wrong on 1 or both ends. or monitor not selected to the correct input port (OSD) PC power lamp glowing not amber or blinkikng PC fans spin , PSU fan and CPU both if PC has GPU card in PCI-express slot it must be use those ports only for video. PC not beeping PC not texting errors post. PC not blinking codes on LED or caps lock or POST ERRORS ! NO PC told PC dead. PC not stuck in sleep mode , hold PC power button for 10 full seconds to end it, (cold boot that is) test monitor on end good PC? yet?

WHY DOES THIS SEARCH SHOW.The Viewsonic VSR220 no such thing.?Turn the monitor around, 180 and see the TAG sticker with real model toldno PC told , what PC is this?this ? VSD (D key is next to R) so huge typo"?https://www.viewsonic.com/eu/products/lcd/VSD220yes that is a PC (android)but can do monitor like duty. too.it needs service.if screen is dead, it has power problemsas the screen must at least show a viewsonic splash as power is turned on.try it on a 2nd room AC power jack yet:?if in warranty take it back to the storeor call viewsonic for help.the android PC can use an HDMI cable to a PC and works as a monitor.too.the manual states"4.5 Connecting to HDMI-compliant Devices via MicroHDMI InputHDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/videointerface for transferring uncompressed digital audio/video data.
