20 Most Recent HP Pavilion F1523 15" LCD Monitor - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Hey there, Normally simply pressing a random key on your keyboard or moving your mouse should wake it up, if it doesn't though I think the easiest way to solve this is to simply turn off the sleep mode after x amount of time.
If you have windows 7, press the start button and type in "power options", go ahead and open power options and there you will be able to set the time it takes before your PC shuts down, and you can also set it to never.


If you still wish to use this feature but just want to be able to it's a bit tricky and it won't even work for all PCs but if the keyboard waking isn't working, then it's probably because your pc does have this feature. When your PC is off, boot it up again and enter the bios by pressing F10 i believe it is for HP. And somewhere you should be able to set which devices are allowed to wake up your computer, all devices are probably disabled now, so go ahead and enable the keyboard to wake up your computer. Now save and exit, and the next time your PC goes to sleep mode you should be able to wake it up by pressing a key on your keyboard.


I hope I was able to assist. If I was, please don't forget to rate this solution.

That is a hard question to answer since I don't know what is complicated to you vs not. Here is a seller on ebay from Hong kong I have never delt with but they have the tools and are selling LCDs. ASk if they have manuals or service manuals or instructions for your camera specific. if not check other vendors on ebay as I have seen others for sale on the monitors.

You've set the resolution too high. Right click on the desktop and find the setting to adjust the resolution to the default for the monitor.

This is very old monitor, 3+ years, so more likely that it has bad set of DC filter capacitors in the power supply.
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 HP 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.

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. Please leave rating if it helps.

No driver is needed for the built-in speakers to work. The built-in powered speakers work the same as a desk top powered speakers system.
You just need to ifind out if it is the amplifiers in side the monitor are bad or it is the sound card problem in the PC.
Feed the monitor with the sound source such as the MP3 player to see if you can get any sound from your monitor.
If it does not work then the problem is inside the monitor, but to have it repaired will be to expensive, you will be better off spending the repair money on a good set of powered desk top speakers system instead.

Failed power supply for the backlight inverter circuits or failed inverter circuits. Do the visual inpsection for caps with leaking/bulging top/bottom seals, bad caps can look normal also.

While it is still power on, unplug it from the video port of your computer. Can you see anything on the monitor? If so, the problem is with your computer. You need to troubleshoot. First try the monitor on another computer and verify that it's working fine. If it's not, then ask for repair and if it would cost some around $200, I don't recommend, you'll get a bigger and better new monitor for $200.

If you think there's nothing wrong with the printer and is tested ok, then start working with your computer, first try with another monitor and boot up, probably it shouldn't work, if it does, then the cable you were connecting the other monitor must be the faulty.

The best thing you can do with a dead video computer is to re-seat the Rams, Power connectors and Bios battery. First remove the Ram/s and boot again, you'll hear the beeping, means there's no ram installed. After cleaning the ram, again install it/ (if there are multiple rams, install only one), now boot again. same problem, try again with the other ram.
If you see no changes while working with the rams, then it must be the bios or the video card itself. If you have a spare graphics card, try it or if you don't have one, then the only solution is to replace the motherboard.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Common problem in this model is bad DC filter caps, that will be the first place to look.

If by the power cord you are reffering if the monitor itself need to be connected with a power cord..other than the VGA cord you connected iot to the main unit or the laptop ..the answer is yes...all monitors have to be powered...Some have regular 3 holes cord ..like most computers and old monitors...some newish one have just a 2 end cord ....but in all cases the power cord is supplied with the monitor when you buy it ..
Just tale a look in the back of the monitor and you will find the location for the plug ...it may be hidden by the plastic protection ...but all monitors are powered apart ...non of them powers by the vga cord..

Hello,

Would you please give more information as regards this problem, what is the problem with your LCD monitor? i would like to suggest a solution to the problem if i can know what the problem is.

Take care.
