Hi

I've got this computer 2 days ago and it was working fine in till, today. When you turn on the computer the blue light flashes but the monitor just flashes on and off , like when you have to move the mouse, which wont work same with the keyboard. The monitor screen just stays black. Please any suggestions, what do I do?

Sounds like you have either a video card problem, monitor problem .. or just the video cable isn't connected to the video card properly

  • Anonymous Jan 08, 2009

    It appears you have a video card problem ... And that video is integrated so it requires a motherboard change .. If this unit is less than a year old you have a warranty .. Contact HP and get it fixed

  • Anonymous Jan 08, 2009

    You may want to consider buying a PCI or PCIExpress video card and installing that .. According to the specifications you have those slots in the system available

Check the simple stuff first since it is new. Cord is plugged into the wall and and into the computer snug. Press the on button on your monitor, try hitting the FN+F5 and FN+F6 each a couple of times those switch what the monitor does. Try plugging it into a different wall socket to make sure you are getting power.

I have a 20 sceptre widescreen lcd monitor

Have you tried any other monitor connected to your computer since your current problem? Check your connections, make sure your VGA cable/DVI cable are in good condition. If none of that works try to RMA it to sceptre if your still within the 1 year period.

Envision Series / AOC 22 hdtv monitor

Probably blown capacitors, the 19" widescreen uses 6 16V 1000uF
Do you have a soldering gun? Its not that hard to fix, get the capacitors on ebay for $6-$8 with shipping.

Computer boots fine but the monitor is blank

if the monitor works fine on your laptop, the problem definitely is at the computer, possibly with the video card (if it is using one). it could have loose connection, or parts might have damages. it seems the problem is intermittent so electronic component of the video card could have parts partially damages or leaky components.
if your still using the motherboards built in video out put, try installing a new video card.

Monitor displays breifly then goes to blank screen

The power -inverter board probably needs an overhaul.
I redo many of these.
If the screen was pinkish or flickering before it finally got to this point, it is possible that a bulb has gone bad.

Screen displays fine for a second, then goes blank

Dor, BenQ has a 3yr warranty on their monitors. I would contact their tech support and receive an RMA to return it for repair. It will cost you shipping out there but they will ship it back. I has a BenQ FP731 myself and it blew a capacitor inside that allowed the screen to stay on. Fixed it and had it back in 5-7 days. Good luck.
