Hi

I would recommend the folloiwng to rule out monitor fault

Please try your monitor on another PC if this works then you have VGA card/drivers issue on your current PC, if this fails on another PC then the monitor is faulty

Please can i ask that you leave feedback and vote if this has been useful

avintagedish, Possible problem w/unit power supply. Go trade it in on new a new wide screen so the electronics technician in the repair area of the store can (with a little luck) put less than $10 in parts into your unit and maybe have a nice VX2235WM to give to his 10 year old kid to play games on. I sure hope you have a valid warranty!! You should verify that VX2235WM does same at KNOWN GOOD pc!!! Swap-in a KNOWN GOOD monitor to prove pc is OK!!! Read my FIXYA profile and learn "flashlight test" for "rude an crude" test of "switch-mode-power-supply" status. Follow the links you find there to other web sites for more info. Check to see if ViewSonic has a cash+old swapout for factory refurbished unit for premature failed units! I'm lmistyrel over on aim. and 12fixlouie on FIXYA good luck in your quest to fix unit. It can be fixed. Just do your research FIRST! So you don't get ROOKED if you contract out the work. Read, read, and read some more!! Visit YOUTUBE for video clips of LCD monitor repair and disassembly. FYI.
Bye for now.

Hello, Barb.

You didn't indicate if there was any power to the monitor (green light). Try flipping the switch on your power strip, if your monitor is connected to it.

Try connecting another monitor to your computer to see if your monitor or computer is the problem.

Could be the VGA cable (cable from monitor to computer) or VGA card (inside the computer).

Just some thoughts - please provide more details, if necessary.

Hope this helps.

If the monitor comes on and displays a message like "no input signal" or something similar, it's working properly but there is nothing coming from the computer. People often think that the computer is working and the monitor is at fault, when in fact the computer isn't starting up.

When you turn on the computer, do you hear the normal sounds of the power supply fan running and the hard drive spinning? Most computers will give a beep when they turn on and the motherboard finishes some startup checks. Do you hear that? Do you ever hear the normal startup sounds that mean Windows is actually running?

If you are convinced the computer is starting and booting into Windows, I would suggest you borrow a known good monitor to use as a test. If it works, that obviously means yours is bad. In most cases there's nothing you can do to repair a monitor yourself beyond checking for loose connections, bent pins in the signal cable plug, or a damaged cable.

If a known good monitor still has no image, the computer is at fault. Either the video card or integrated video isn't working, or the computer isn't actually starting up. In any case, that's where you would need to start looking for the cause.

Hope this helps you along the way to solving the problem. Thanks fo using Fixya!

Your monitor display is damaged. Normally 3 years warrenty so try to visit with your monitor in a company service center ASAP.

Thanks, i am waiting for your feed back & if you satisfied then thumps me please.

It is either your graphics card or the LCD panel of the monitor. We should figure out which one it is. Connect your computer to another monitor or a tv. See if the problem persists.

Let me know what you have found.

I had this same problem. Tried solution "1" and voila everything's back to mint condition. Thanks for solution.

The power-inverter board capacitors are probably due for an upgrade.
I repair these boards regularly on ebay.

Look for bad caps, see failed monitor here: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Viewsonic%20VX2235W/

This is a suggestion that I have used:
1) Create another Virtual Machine running Windows XP
2) Attach your Virtual disk (.vhd) for windows 2003 as a second drive in your XP VM.
3) Scan/Fix your Windows 2003 drives and copy the required files to the required folders/files to your physical (you need to install Vitual Machine Additions to use Host drivesfolders) or virtual drives .

Hope it helps: let me know how you go.

hi,

turn your monitor upside down on your desk and look near the clock at the bottom in the system tray. you may have a shortcut there to that video setting, hover above the icons next to your clock, hopefully one of them is your video settings and study in there to change the setting back to the way it was. if not then right click the destop, go to properties, then go to settings in your display properties, then click advanced, and right in there should be a setting to flip the screen 180 degrees back to the way it was..

visit a repair shop to fix it

The problem is most likely the monitor itself. Hook up an old monitor (usually someone has an old monitor laying around) if the computer works with another monitor you'll know for sure.
Look at your monitor using a flash light at an angle, if you can see a picture in the background you have a bad inverter.

make sure your vga cable is not loose and it is connected properly it is bettre if you can swap it other cpu and conncet it for test .
