adjust the vertical control in the front panel of the monitor, then make sure the vga cable is properly attached in the vga port of the pc.

This is most likely the high voltage flyback in the monitor. Personally, I would not invest any time or money in trying to fix it. If you check out your local craigslist you may be able to find a newer LCD type monitor for next to nothing.

If you do decide to do something with this monitor, please remember the voltage inside is 15,000+ Volts. It is deadly and can cause you a lot of harm and death.

Hello,

It shows that the switch of your monitor is malfunctioning, it is having partial contact, that is why it works atimes.

I advice you replace the switch so as to get maximum effective use of your monitor.

Take care

17-inch CRT?

Ask your friends -- one of them probably has a "surplus" 17-inch CRT that they will _love_ to give-away to you, to replace yours.

Or, look on CRAIGS LIST for a used 17" LCD screen, for $30 to $40.

right click on desktop select properties(screen saver ) select monitor button in that select turn monitor never.(configure carefully)

u can fix by replacing new switch or u can give direct connection

though itz very unclear n i don't understand the moral meaning of windows going down..!!..n wat is the link of windows going down with ur monitor..

however, itz probably causing from faulty or defective smps or main/mother board..
if not probably itz causing from the monitor itself..

proceed to verify with the below stated steps, only if u r a professional..

DO IT ONLY IF U R A PROFESSIONAL..
..plz do check the following as in order:..
the Hardware part:..
1) check mains/power supply..the fuse, switch, wiring n associated circuitry..

2) [in case of desktop] thesmps itself may b defective/faulty..check the outputs of smps viz. 0v(black~ground); +12v(yellow); +5v (red, green~ps-on, violet~pg&grey~sb); -12v (blue);-5v(white); +3.3v(orange)..
check the battery n adapter [main power], in case of laptops..
replace with a standby n see..

3) unplug mains supply..pick open/remove the cmos battery..check (above +3v)..resit..

4) open the cpu n see if heat is generated..if not..replace the cpu n see..

5) open the CPU Heat-Sink with fan out of thesocket..put some "Heat Sink Compound" (available in local electronicschip level spare market)between the cpu/processor and the CPU Heat Sink*** fan..resit/fit it tightly in position..

6) on main/motherboard..see with a debug card for mb error..may b short..look fordefective capacitors(espabove1000mfd)/mosfets..go through the mb'ssouth bridge n the circuit lie around atx connector..the crystal clockgenerator (if cpu isn't heating up)..
replace with a standby n see..

7)seeif the ram(s) is loose/faulty..open clean/remove carbon & or oxideformed on the teeth with an eraser n resit it..or replace with a standbyn see..

8)remove/clean dustneatly..dust is non-uniform in nature n may causejam/short circuitry/excess resistance n many more..resulting an increasein heat..

9) if all above fails..just try to service the monitor..open and re-sould all the dry soulderings..itz probably is causing due to ur monitor's internal circuit dry-soulds..esp. at the crt base n around the horizontal output section (hot)..

the Software part:..
1)hv a licensed and UPDATEDantivirus installed (i prefer avg/kaspersky,remember, without updationa full version antivirus is useless)..

2) download, install n run microsoft kb890830..http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en..

3) download n run Startup Control Panel..http://download.cnet.com/Startup-Control-Panel/3000-2094_4-10039330.html..'removeall the unnecessary startup items from here..(if u can't find whatto remove, post me/us in ur comment with all the items listed in eachn every tabs herein)..

4) remove all unnecessary software from add/remove programs..

5) download, install n run 'Advanced System Care Pro'..http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-SystemCare-Pro/3000-2086_4-10399324.html..

6)disable the following:..
a)'Automatically Restart'right click on my computer->properties->advanced->startupn recovery->(un check on the) Automatically Restart;
b)'Error Reporting'right click onmy computer->properties->advanced->error reporting->disableerror reporting->(uncheck on the) 'but notify me when critical erroroccur'..

7) Increase the size of Virtual Memory, Initial: 1440; Maximum: 2880

if u r not a professional, always better to seek advise from ur system admin/vendor....

Some computers can be slow or short of hard drive space for quite simple reasons.
Windows and other program hide temporary files in lots of different places
The best option is not always a program or utility and if you want to do as much as you can for FREE like I do then you have a few options.
　
　
1. First you need to be in windows explorer.
　
2. Click TOOLS and FOLDER OPTIONS
　
3. Now click the VIEW tab
　
4. Tick the Show Hidden Files And Folders option
Unpick Hide Protected Operating System Files (it may warn you but you can ignore it)
　
5. Click APPLY then OK
　
6. NOTE some files may not delete this is OK Also DO NOT DELETE the folder itself where mentioned for cleaning.
　
7. Using windows explorer go into the WINDOWS folder and look for a directory called TEMP (it is possible there may be more than one)
　
8. Select all the contents and delete them. Do the same for any other temp folder e.g. temp000
　
9. Now navigate to Documents and Settings
There are quite a few folders in here that can be cleaned up
　
10. Look for folders named "Local Settings" In there you will find more TEMP folders that can be cleaned out
　
11. Now look inside the Temporary Internet Files. Delete anything EXCEPT cookies. Otherwise passwords for some sites you have stored may need you to type the password again.
　
12. Do this for each user / profile you see.
　
13. Now check the C: drive itself and see if there are any Temp folders and clean those out too
　
To prevent accidental deletion of any files windows needs you should go back to step (4) and change the two settings back to their original
　
　
　
　

Make sure the VGA cable is plugged in all the way and screwed down. These units were made in 2002 so it may just be too old to go on. A repair would probably cost more than a new or used flat screen LCD.

You can download the necessary drivers from thge HP website. Just click on the Support & Downloads link, enter your computer model, select your OS from the next page and it will give you a list of all of the applicable downloads for your system.

try to get a second monitor that you know works and plug it into the computer. This will tell you if it is the monitor or the connection to the computer. If everything appears ok with the new monitor then you have to get a new one which is probably the case

Sorry for the news. Next time there is a big thunderstorm unplug everything and make sure that your computer is plugged into a surge protector at all times. This will save a lot of money and headaches

The life expectancy is about 5 years. You can fix it, but it's not worth trying to track down the power board for a crt, it's going to cost you more than a new monitor. There are flat panels for under a hundred dollars now, you will save that on electricty over a two year period. Although some folks just like them better than lcd's that is no longer an issue, with the faster resolutions in the past few years you will be better off going for a new lcd. HP's website is the most likelly place to obtain service for your monitor, but I just got an email from Dell this morning and you can get a new 19 inch for about a hundred dollars from their reurbished shop if you really want to save some money, and a 24 was only around $200.

USB ports are located on the back and also on the front on newer desktop PCs. These are on the computer tower - not the monitor as your posting is categorized. They are rectangular slots with four copper contacts inside.

It sounds to me like the power supply needs replaced! it may be cheaper to buy a new one then fix!

1st......Operating System?????
2nd.....Run Device manager to ascertain RAM installed
3rd.....Download Sandra Lite to find M/B specs.(Free Download)
4th.....Check if RAM is SODIMM,SDRAM,DDR,etc
5th.....Open PC case to ensure RAM slots available.
6th.....Purchase correct RAM.e.g.128MB->256MB,256MB->512MB,512MB->1024MB
Check to see if RAM slots are paired or not
If paired....2X128MB=256MB
2X256MB=512MB
2X512MB=1024MB

...strictly as, at at best. a long shot: according to a post I just read somewhere online about this HP MX 75, pressing AND HOLDING the + button on the monitor front and at the same time turning the monitor on and off repeatedly, may fix problems with this monitor.

try to set setting at desktop setting.Set to a hiher resolution 1024 by 768 resolution.
