This isn't really a problem all you need to do is click the auto button at the button of screen or if this doesn't work alter it manually

The first thing to check is , the Power, are ya sure it's plugged in OK, are ya sure that socket is working, try something else in that outlet to prove, check the power cord is pushed right in, Check ya on the right Video connector on the PC, make sure all conns are correct. Try the monitor on another base unit, try your base unit on another monitor. If all these are OK then ya Monitor has turned it's toes up sorry.

sounds like the ribbon connection from circuit board to screen is faulty. but double check your graphics card and cable before you send it for repair. this problem is often caused by a burnt out graphics card

Power supply or fuse is shot most likely. You can use a voltmeter and test power coming from power supply to main board. Some units use a high voltage transformer instead of a power supply. You can get parts at tigerdirect.com

The monitor cannot display that resolution. You'll have to use another resolution (1280*1024 will be est displayed on this monitor)

I have the same problem with my Acer 5684 laptop. Just bought display backup light (CCFL) from ebay. Hopefuly will arrive within next 5-10 days. I will let you know if this solves it.

Check your connections to the PC. Make sure that they are nice and secure. If there is a resolution problem setting it should display the boot process and then go blank after starting the operating system.

Hey Let Mey tell you it is time for a new monitor

Try this settings:

Click on Start | Control Panel | Power Options.

In the Power Option properties window, click on the Power Schemes Tab

Set the Turn off Monitor/ Turn off Hard Disks option when on Power (and also Battery for laptop users) to Never.

Now click on the Save as... button and assign a name to this power scheme... Let us call it 'Presentation' and then click on OK.

That's it congrats!

have you found a solution to this problem? i have the very same problem. i have taken apart the back of the monitor and found that if i take the small circuit board that is plugged into the power switch it goes away leading me to beleive that it is this small board but i do not know where to get it at. the number on the board is ar577 vk-583 rev:1. any help would be greatly appreciated. my email address is [email protected]

The only thing i can think of is that you either get it repired if still in warranty, or a replacement. Depending what you want, I actually recommend second hand if on a budget, or 1 with a warranty if you have enough

Hello,

It sounds like you have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors will blow a power supply. The problem is caused by parts called capacitors overheating in the confined space of the monitor. If you are good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix the problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad parts,replace any that look like the pictures and your monitor should work fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct + and - connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new one the same way. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer a repair service for $35 plus shipping.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

could be a bad connection in the laptop

Is the computer shutting down when this occurs? If so its an indication that the power supply might be failing.

I am assuming this is on a desktop and not a laptop. Might be an overheat issue. If it runs for a certain amount of time then shuts off, that is a tell-tale sign of overheating of some critical component inside. So, either something is making it overheat, or the component is weak enough that it is unstable in the environment it is in.

Try and update the video card. also make sure that it is installed correctly pull it out and reseat it make sure the power wire is also plugged in

The power supply has probbably blown. Not repairable by unskilled labour unless you would like to check the fuse which is a little round black item near the area where you plug the unit into mains. be careful when removing the back cover. first the screws then it unclipps from the grey front frame. do not put pressure on the screen itself. It may damage. Good luck, Kind Regards Justin (Justronics S.A.)
