This page has your manual as well as your drivers.Good luck!

put another monitor on your computer first so you can see to get on the internet . ..then go to the samsung site and download the drivers for your samsung model and install them into your computer. ...after you install the new drivers then put your samsung back on and your computer should read your monitor then and work

I see this monitor was produced in 2008. I guess you purchased it used. As used monitors cost any where from $10 and up I'd just replace it. It just isn't worth saving.

Turn off the monitor first. Hold down Function button and click F8 key to tell the laptop to send signal to the monitor.

I had a similar problem with my LCD computer screen. I took it apart and noticed a capacitor that was raised up on the flat end and appeared to be leaking a substance. Replaced it with a similar capacitor and works fine, for three years now.

Check signal cables means there's no signal on input. If your PC still shows up on a different monitor then it's a time to replace a mainboard in your monitor.

Most common failures in these LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply C242 470uF 10V, C241 & C242 1000uF 16V, C261 & C319 680uF 35V failed as indicated in the attached picture, replace them at once. If the power supply board is working then it is back light problem, first do a flash light test. If you can see the image in the flash light test, follow the steps how to test back light voltages: https://how-to-repair.org/repair/lg-tv-repair-manual-pdf/lg-led-tv-no-backlights-32ln5300-32ln5310-32ln5700-voltage-test-troub/2pyuXwNkBMA.html and follow the steps how to repair back light LEDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_poWTEihIJU Fix Led Backlights for TV or Monitor Lg Led Tv No Backlights 32ln5300 32ln5310 32ln5700 Voltage Test Troub Lg...

Hi,
Samsung SyncMaster 2233BW does not support TV / Cable input (RF Connector).
If you wish to connect Cable to the LCD, you have to buy a TV Box and connect Cable with your LCD through TV Box. (Cable TV to TV BOX and from TV BOX to LCD)

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

This usually indicates a failure in the power supply board. Here is a link to a repair kit for that board.http://www.ccl-la.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_33_68&products_id=116I hope that helps, if so please rate my solution.BuddyMc

You may have problem in the logic board, it uses surface monted components no much chance for DIY repair. Service manual; http://elektrotanya.com/?q=showresult&megnev=Acer&megnev2=AL2216W&kategoria=monitor&kat2=all The cases these days are hard to open, they use plastic finger hooks types, they go in easy but real hard to remove without damageing them. Use thin flat blade to crack open at the bottom edge so the scratches will not be so noticeable, and work your way around, look out for cables attached to the front bezel also.

Or www.digikey.com just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c, high ripple current, long life rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series.

Check your cables and output signal.

Uhm, monitors don`t have build in sound......

try this right click on your desktop , click on Appearance tab . then click on effects , see if Show shadows under menus is checked if so uncheck it . click ok then click Apply .

Solution for Samsung SyncMaster 2232BWplus:

The problem is bad capacitors: 5 pcs. 820microFarad – 25v and 1 pc. 330microFarad -25v. Replace these capacitors. Then re-solder the two transformers of inverter side. Also re-solder the power transformer and the inductor coil.
To open the casing:
At the bottom of the stand just twist the knob to unlock. Then, use a small flat screw driver beginning from the bottom (left or right) then using a hard credit card (or alike) then slide/glide it in between the cover plastics.

try to change the plug adapter if isnt workink you get a problem inside at your monitor and there need it an expert

Hi,
Im glad to know that you have enough knowledge and are able to work inside such electronics. I do have some study/ repair experience of LCD Displays/ Laptop displays. I will describe my point of view in general terms.
There are two parts responsible for lighting the display. First is the CCFL (Cold Cathode Florecent Lamp), which is the back light and the second is the Inverter board, which provides high voltage to the CCFL. Either of the parts can be faulty or in some rare cases both. But in this case I think it is most likely the Inverter circuit. (Its life is limited and depending upon how long it has been in use, you can have a better idea - if its the CCFL or Inverter)
So, my advice is that you check the Inverter Circiut.
Make sure you take proper precautions while working with it as Inverter generates very high voltage.

Hope this answers your question!

Are you using an adapter? The internals might be faulty, so try using a different adapter. Also try using another cable to connect the monitor and desktop. Another thing you could try is checking if your graphics card (if you have one) is properly seated. Finally, check for bent pins on your cable, monitor, and desktop connectors.

Hi there, if you are experiencing something like a white cloud spreading across whole LCD panel, then unfortunately it has to go for a panel replacement .The panels are still expensive so I personally suggest to try buying a new unit cause of the warranty. Cheers.
