LCD Monitor will power in and when connects to
When the monitor button turns to yellow that means the monitor is on standby mode. Try rebooting the the computer after you have connected it to your modem.

HP Computer monitors are a little confusing, Sometimes depressing the power button again while it is yellow will turn it on and should so green.
Power switch failure
Either the power switch is broken (which is not likely), or more likely to have bad DC filter caps in the power supply.
If you are going to DIY 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, 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 HP and ALL other monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Just won't work
mcdevito75 here, The monitor could be burned out, exchange with a know good one, or have Staples, Best by or computer repair shop test it for you, also you can check all operateing functions on the monitor specially Bright / Dark.
My hp vs17 isn't starting up.
You may not have given us enough info; it may make a difference which computer and/or operating system you are using.
If Windows, try restarting the system and tapping on the F5 or F8 key (not always the same) to reach a short menu with a choice of boot routines.
If you have it, choose the 'Safe Mode.'
This loads only a minimum of drivers and only a crude video resolution but gives you a chance on examining the settings for normal operation and if needed, removing an offending program.
The Volume goes nice and loud but the sound is
At bottom right of our screen you will see an icon for the volume (shape of a speaker). Double click on the icon to access the full volume control dialog box. Try in creasing the volume from here and set it to a reasonable level. Once set, you can use the volume control on your monitor.
If i turn my computer off for whatever reason,
Try this, no guarantees but it may need to be reset. Make sure PC is turned off. Disconnect the monitor from the PC and unplug it from the wall. Hold in the Power button for at least sixty seconds, then replug it in PC and wall. If it is reset it should start normally. If not it needs further diagnosis.
No volume from speakers
open the monitor and connect the connector properly fit then look whether the wires are disconnected or not clear it problem will be solved

chanel_luv_u, Could be possible internal SMPS/CCFL inverter power supply problem. If the PC is ok with different "known-good" monitor connected to PC, then vs17 monitor will need some work done on it. Do some reading here first for some clues!!!
http://www.lesliewong.us/blog/2005/05/02/hp-pavilion-f1703-flatpanel-disolay-blackout-solution/ The first place I would look at on ANY ccfl back-lit lcd monitor that starts doing "very strange things" would be the units "switch-mode-power-supply/CCFL inverter circuit". Try YOUTUBE for video clips of DIY lcd monitor repair to see if unit can be fixed for less than $6 in parts. Keep this in mind though, Your vs17 isn't any different than any other ccfl back-lit lcd monitor in it's basic design and operation. Do some reading of fixya LCD monitor technicians profiles for more info. Let us know what plans you have after you do your research. Bye for now. 12fixlouie
When I turn my monitor on, the screen shows the
Try the monitor on another computer, to check-out the monitor.
Does the POWER lamp on the monitor stay on when the monitor goes black? If so, then the monitor probably is OK.
Try a different monitor, to trouble-shoot the video-card.
How do I change the video connector?
The power light flases can mean it is not geting the signal from PC or it is in shutdown protection mode. Try it on another PC first. If it does the same then you will need to open it up, but you should read below at look at my pictures albums to get some idea what to look for inside.

Turn off the CPU disconnect the video card from the motherboard and reconnect.
Try to open your CPU and see if it reacts with your monitor. If nothing happens replace your video card
