hi. you need solder gun to replace the capacitors. you solder the legs of capacitors from backside of the board.you can see the bellow link too:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL0id3-YZsQ

home depot, but they are doing away with them and replace them with LED. The reason is because of the mercy in the bulb.

hi, does the three lights blink only after u connect it to a display card??if yes then check if any of the connecter pins are damaged, or check out the display card..bye let me know

I will admit, have never seen you monitor before. But looked up in Google and found this. Hope this helps. 1 Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Then a menu should appear... 2 Press and hold it until it is over AUTO. Then tap the button once. Let us know if it helps. It would not break your monitor to do the above. But be patient and follow the above simple procedures. This could help others same as you.

Shorted board inside monitor

Jnanda,
Could be one of two related situations both have to do with built up magnetic flux:

!. If you have used the monitor for a significant amount of time and have never degaussed it that might be it.

To fix: Go to where your monitor's controls are (eg screen size/position, Brightness, Contrast, etc.). Providing that we are referring to an older style monitor (like a TV) and not a flat screen, you should find a degaussing button located there. This button is marked with a depiction of a horseshoe magnet. Press it.

If you have on screen settings control, hit the menu button and select the icon that looks like a horseshoe magnet.

You'll hear a buzz and the screen will go kooky for a moment.

You're then degaussed. Your problem should go away.

2. You may have moved the monitor close to a source of electromagnetic interference (or vice-versa) this will also cause that sort of thing you describe (remember that there are electrical lines in the walls (another source of EMI)

In that case move the monitor away from the EMI source or move the EMI source away from the monitor.

Remember that it could be both 1 and 2. So if the problem lessens but does not go away fully try both steps.

Just wanted to say Thank You for the info on this site. I had the same problem as previously posted. When powered up, the monitor showed a fast flash of the desktop and then went black, with the power indicator flashing green. I read the posts, purchased the capacitors and the 4 - 2sc5707 transistors through ebay. I ordered them on the 6th and rec'd them today. I only had one bad capacitor and one transistor that checked bad, but I ordered 5 caps and 4 transistors. When ordering the caps be careful of the height of the caps. I found this to be a problem because I ordered the 50v, 105 degree Panasonic caps that didn't fit with the enclosure attached, so I used the 4 good caps removed previously and replaced the bad one with a 470uf, 50v. 85 degree cap from Rubycon I found among my spare parts. Installed the parts and the monitor is working properly (for the last two hours) so I'm happy for as long as the repair lasts. Thanks again for the info.

check all connections. then separate the wiring so it doesn't touch. sometimes the cross-talk caused by wires touching can reroute the signals. good luck.

Not fully understanding the question here but if you are looking for the drivers for that monitor you may want to make your way to: Control Panel > Device Manager > Display Devices > Dell E173FP (Right Click) > Update Drivers

If the monitor power light is on or flashing, but nothing displays, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor needs replaced.

I'm sorry, but you're not too clear.

Do objects on the video appear to have a "shadow"? If this is the case, it is likely the cable or a problem in shielding. Try verifying the connectors, and try changing the monitor relative position to see if it's some sort of interference the cable is picking up.

You may also try changing screen resolution - this sometimes works, usually when the problem is in the video card.

The power supply is dying.

Go to safe mode and uninstall the application or restore system Press f8 while booting up to get into safe mode...

Unless you purchased some kind of lost or stolen recovery program BEFORE you "lost" it, there's no way.
