Monitor will not stay lit!

check the connctions on your monitor. I had this problem on my monitor for 2 months and it started shortly after I cleaned my desk so I thought maybe I had accidentally pressed a button. I found out later that a wobbly connection to the monitor gave faulty connection info to the screen so I just touched it today and it went magically white. Please try it before attempting anything else!

well i have a dell 22'' monitor and it did exactly the same thing , turns out its a fault with the invertor drive transistors ( these power the fluro screen light ) , i'm in the uk , but i would take it straight back to walmart along with proof of purchase and tell them it dont work and ask for a repair /replacement under warranty

try another monitor i re placed my cord and the graphics card and it didn't do me any good i replaced the monitor last and it works fine now. and my speakers pluged into the monitor the monitor i bought didn't have the port for speakers so now i need to get usb speakers so check it out. hope this helps

Hi,
There could be a problem with your display card settings or the display card itself. If you are using Windows operating system, make sure that you have the monitor driver installed for that specific monitor. This is to ensure that Windows only allows settings for which your particular monitor was designed.
Let me know if I can assist you any further regarding this.
Best wishes,

You're probably lucky that this happened now. You're most likely still covered under warranty. Contact Acer support and arrange a swap. If your pc works okay with another monitor there's no point in troubleshooting further. Get that monitor switched before the warranty runs out.

Check the information at Viewsonic's website regarding their warranty:

If you have your proof-of-purchase and it shows the monitor is less than a year old, it would be covered. You would need to follow the procedure on their website to have the unit repaired or replaced, but it would not be your job to try to fix it.

Check for bad caps, see example here: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Samsung%20203B/

Hello there!
First things First
1) If you can or have another monitor try and see if the problem persist.
2) RMS the monitor if you keep these problem in these particular monitor.
3) usually these, problems, its cause by a bad capacitor in the monitor motherboard, or resistor.
4) it is best to return the monitor.

If it's only a few months old then send it back under warranty.
The fault you have is the inverter circuit.

Hope that helps. =)

Assuming you've already checked your driver and system settings, tried a different monitor, and checked the cable and connector pins, this would almost certainly be a problem with the power or signal circuit board inside the monitor.
