The VX series are cheaply made with cheap caps and they failed due to bad caps, see my pictures here: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/VIEWSONIC/Viewsonic%20VX2235W/
VX2235 came out years (2006) ago so I cannot see that it will be only 8 months old. I fixed many of these VX series.

If you are going to DIY and already try the monitor with another PC, and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on: Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/ Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

This VE155 uses wallwart 12vdc 3.5A power supply, you need to check first to see if it is putting out 12vdc.

Hello and Welcome to Fixya.

Few of the top reasons for causing these "lines" running across the screen are :

1. Corrupted video driver
2. Changes in hardware configuration (display)
3. Monitor issue (hardware)

In order to determine if it's hardware/software issue, all you need to do is to boot to BIOS and check if the problem replicates. Depending on system, you can go to the BIOS screen by tapping "F2" or "DEL" key repeatedly as soon as you turn on the computer until you see a different screen.

If the problem is present while in BIOS, then definitely the monitor needs to be repaired by an authorized repair center. Otherwise, video driver update or Operating system re-install can resolve this problem.

Thanks for using Fixya

You can swap the capacitors with same value but new one.
Only if you can get all done by 1/4 of the price of a new LCD, if not it is not worth your time to fix.
Another problem might be from the ccfl lamps open circuit.
You need to identify your problem. Cheers.

There is probably a conflicting setting in your power management options. My recommendation is that you check the monitor setting in Windows and see how you have it set up. In Windows it is under CONTROL PANEL>POWER OPTIONS. There are a few differences between WINDOWS 7 and XP from here on out, but in general, do not select a scheme and do not select any hibernate, standby, or sleep modes. If you stick with a simple power saving option, like "TURN OFF MONITOR: After 15 mins." you should not have any further problems.

Many of the Windows "green schemes" will not work right with different combinations of BIOS, Hard drive, motherboard, and monitor. It is best to avoid them, unless you are very patient and willing to go the trial and error route. Good Luck!

Not likely the power switch is bad, but the power supply is dead due to bad caps as shown in my pictures here:

Very common problem as you can see in my VIEWSONIC and all brands fo the LCD monitors.

The problem is in the power supply and the inverter board, cause bad capacitors that sometime bulge at the top indicating an open condition.

Hi,

This is an indication of out-of-regulation in the power supply section. The very common caused of this fault is the leaky electrolytic capacitor in that section. It will drop the supply from normal voltage and will disable the unit.It needs a little warm-up to make itself stable but the symptom will get worst. Sometimes it has a bulged/dome at the top but not all, it is better that you have a capacitor checker/tester to determine its condition. Your unit will back to normal again if the leaky capacitor is isolated.

If you don't have necessary tools and test instruments, and can't do the job yourself, I would advice you to look for a professional to troubleshoot the problem. Don't attempt to work in the power supply if you don't know the safety precaution of handling it, there some stored electricity enough to hurt you with a little mistake only.

Also check if your unit is under warranty /extended warranty, avail it because the manufacturer of your unit will fix it for free. Don't open the back panel, this will void the warranty.

Hope I helped you.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for using Fixya.

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error hope this helps

It may have dying power supply, but does it do the same when attached to another PC? We need to find that out first.
These VX series model is know for having bad caps that can cause strange symptoms.

Does it do the same if you hook it up to the desk top PC?
Common problem in this VX series are due to bad DC filter caps which can cause a lot of starnge symptom, see pictures here:
http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Viewsonic%20VX2235W/
The power supply may not be stable enough to handle higher resolution mode.

N2750 is more than 3 years old, so more likely the DC filter caps are already bad with bulging tops.

Make sure the cable from the monitor to the machine is plugged in securely and thethumbscrews are tight. Check both ends!!
