20 Most Recent Acer X223W Monitor Questions & Answers

The VGA section of the Monitor is totally separate circuit than that used by the DVI circuit. Either or will do an automatic switch to what ever circuit communicates via the proper attachment (VG or DVI cable). AS long as the VGA Drivers are up-to-date the operating system should recognize the Video signal. Check the DEVICES and look for Video. Your Monitor should show up if the connection is proper, and if not there, you may have a bad Video Cord.

You need to replace 5 Electrolytic capacitors on the Power Board. Cheers

I was having this exact same issue. I held down the 'e' button and let it re-auto config and it seemed to clear up the problem.

That is one of very common failure, these caps are ballast caps for the CCFL, one cap per lamp. You can get them from Mouser. The cap get expose to vey high voltage so they do breakdown. See example below.http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Element/Element%20FLX-3210/

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.

If I am not mistaken this model has a screw on the bottom of the stand that secures the stand to the monitor.

What you need to do is to flip up the ring that is connected to the screw and then turn the screw in the anti-clockwise direction. Which will loosen the screw and allow you to remove the stand.

Take care!

Check the DC filter caps for domed tops and DC voltages as shown here:

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 ACER 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.

If you are speaking about TILTING. Yes it does have a tilting ability.
If your speaking about actual TILING on your monitor, that is done from your computer it self.
How to Enable Screen Tiling and Resizing on Monitor If you constantly have 2, 3, or 16 windows open on your computer, WinSplit Revolution can help you organize your space. This little Windows utility automatically resizes and relocates windows making it easy to stack your programs vertically, horizontally, or in little boxes.

The program isn't really that useful if you've got an 800 x 600 pixel display, but if you've got a high resolution widescreen monitor, WinSplit Revolution can help you make the most of your space. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to various positions. For instance, one hotkey can maximize the current window, while another can unmaximize it and drag it to the left side of the screen.

It can be that it is not getting the video signal from your PC, you should try it with another PC and also check the video cable, or it can be failure in the logic board where the video cable is plugged in, or in the power suppy/inverter board. Please poat back what you find before taking the montior apart.

I don't know what OS you have but there is a power management setting you might want to check. Most likely the monitor is set to go quickly into sleep mode at inactivity. Alternately I don't know what monitor you have but it might be a backlight Issue as well

I use a program called "locksmith" which is included on a "commander disk" that I have.

Perfectly normal. It depends on the internal timing of the GPU and the OS version.
