Try checking the fuse in the plug

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they might be faulty

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electical extensions

even something as small as an electrical fan and its lead can cause you problems or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs all electrical power and data to continue through every working device and to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

make sure your graphics card is securely seated with no dust built up or in the socket

if you remove your graphics check the socket to make sure its dust free

restart your computer then reinstall it this should activate found new hardware wizard

hope this helps you

You need to connect an external set of speakers to the Audio output of the harddrive, as you put it. At the rear, or some other convenient place you should find a set of at least three, "Jacks" locate the "Green" output Jack, and use that to feed the powered speakers, you then will be able to hear sounds....

hi, Please check the VGA connections.


thank you!

Have you verified that the problem is indeed your monitor and not the video card on your PC? i would start by connecting the monitor to a laptop or another PC to verify that the same issue occurs no matter what the source. Once you've verified that, you're likely dealing with a monitor that requires repair or replacement. Hopefully it's under warranty. Hope this helps a bit.

I do not believe it is the monitor problem, it is just dispalying what it being fed with, you can easily verify that by connecting it to another working PC. I believe the problem is with your video card. Did you install any new software or driver lately? You may want try reinstall the video driver to see if that will fix the problem. Or you can use the windows system restore point to take it back to the day before the problem happened.

There's a good chance you have failing electrolytic capacitors either in the power section or the inverter section or both.
In your case, it's most likely going to be in the power supply section.

Any caps in these sections that look bulged at the top, or bulged/leaking at the bottom need to be replaced.
If you repeatedly turn it off and on, eventually it'll probably stay on, but every time you turn it off, the TV will get harder and harder to start up until one day it just won't.
Sometimes you have to do the opposite to start it up and unplug it for some time and then try again.

If you aren't tech savvy, don't worry, read the rest of this solution and watch the videos.

If you are handy with a soldering iron and can identify the power supply and inverter / FM section for the backlights, an inexpensive handful of capacitors will likely fix you right up.
Match the capacitance on the capacitors. Go over voltage if you can, and still have them fit.
IE - it's not a bad idea to replace a 10V cap with a 16V or 25V or even a 50V, but don't replace a 680uF cap with a 500uF or a 1000uF (unless you are positive it's only doing ripple filtering, and even then, you should go OVER, not under the uF rating).

Most of the caps that go are 10V 1000uF or 3300uF.

I found some great videos of the procedure (for many Samsungs with the same issue) on youtube.

As you can see, this issue spans plasma TVs, as well as large and small LCD TVs and monitors.
The parts are cheap, and skill required is minimal.

I would check all the pins at both ends of the video cable, also try this monitor with another PC to verify that it is not PC's Video card problem.
Common problem can be the caps failure in the power supply as you can see in my ACER album here:
http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/ACER/

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 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.

You will have to disassemble and reseat the push button assembly, it is very poorly design.

this is because the boot up screen and the welcome screen comprises of many differences they differ in resolution ,colour depth etc so if once the moniter is set for welcome screen it may be irregular for boot window

Hi,

There could be few possibilities.Unfortunately, as i am not there, i could only provide few details that would help you to diagnose the problem and take an appropriate action to resolve it :-

1.If there was something wrong with the graphic card, you would see atleast some Junk data (garbled image or something) on your monitor.
2. When the monitors goes off, the light would had gone "off" or changed color (if there is a sleep mode light). But it stays white and this shows that the monitor's main board has issues. (issue can be anything like some IC getting heated up or a loose connection)

Solution:
1. Make sure that the power and data cord of your monitor is fixed tight. (behind desktop and behind monitor). My guess is you have already done this.
2. Use this monitor with some other computer and see if it works fine. If it does, than there is something wrong with the graphic card or its compatibility with your monitor. If it doesnt, than get it replaced.


Mostly this happens because of a bad Data or Power cable of monitor. So replace both the cables of Acer monitor and see if it works.

If it still doesn't work than its 100% a hardware problem on the circuit board and unless its in warranty, the repair will not be worth it.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Any monitor can be used as the second monitor for a computer. However, your computer's graphics card must have two outputs. Some simpler graphics cards, most on-board video chipsets and all laptops *do not have* two outputs. Please check the back of your computer for two VGA outputs, or one VGA and one DVI output (you can use it by connecting a DVI cable to your monitor, or by plugging in a DVI to VGA adapter).
If your graphics card does not have two outputs, or if your computer uses an on-board video chipset, you can buy another graphics card to replace the one you're using.

It can be a dead monitor. If you say it does not work on two different computer, it is not showing good.

First, does it do the same when used with another PC?
Pictures: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Acer%20X223W/
You will need to 1) inspect the DC filter caps for any of them with domed tops, 2)then check the DC voltages as shown, 3) You need inverter tester (lamp assemblies to find out if the lamps or the inverter board is bad).

When you start your computer, if before Windows starts up it's a shade of green, it could be as a result of the screen cable not plugged in properly at some point. If not or if that doesn't work, it could be the software or hardware but I don't know how a pdf can do that??
