20 Most Recent Planar PX2710MW Monitor Questions & Answers

Here is the user's guide for your monitor: (from Planar's website) http://www.planar.com/media/222919/mn-planar-px2710mw.pdf

The Planar PX2210MW is notorious for bad electrolytic capacitors. Specifically capacitor C804 on the power supply board. . This is a 1000uF 25volt capacitor. That capacitor was usually made by Hermei and it was purple. Normally, the top of a capacitor will be flat. When it fails, it will be curved upward and there may be some brown material leaking out. If the monitor still will not work after replacing C804, the problem could be Q805 or Q806. These are located on the under side of the board. They are small black surface mounted chips. There are 8 pins on these chips. I have seen both AO4620 and APM4548A part numbers used. These chips contain a pair of MOSFET transistors. One transistor is n-channel and the other is p-channel. Look for a short in one of the transistors. I have repaired several of these monitors. C804 is always bad. How ever, in three cases, Q805 or Q806 was also bad

the curcuit board would have a little corrosion use methalated spirits and an old tooth brush to clean it off

In case you can't show the 1920X1080 option (or higher resolutions) either the VGA controller can not handle these resolutions (so they are hidden) or the drivers for your VGA controller are missing. Clarify me your desktop brand/model to come back with more details.

In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.

1. Try a different DVI cable. 2. Check the monitor's settings and make sure it is set to the correct resolution. 3. Try a different computer or laptop to see if the issue is with the computer or the monitor. 4. Try a different DVI port on the computer. 5. Try a different monitor. 6. Check the video card settings and make sure it is set to the correct resolution. 7. Try a different video card

Make sure it is on level ground.

No, there is no microphone listed in the specs, just integrated speakers

I use either VGA or HDMI connectors to connect to an external monitor. I'm not sure what you're asking on the "power cord". Are you asking about the charging "brick" and such? Or?

You will need to go to advanced settings under resolution options and set the display to 60hz refresh rate then go back to resolution and set your native, the problem is its probably trying to default to 75hz and is causing an issue

Try Another Monitor---If OK--Problem Is With Your Monitor---If Does The Same Thing--Problem With Computer Video.
