I have a Princeton VL1717. The monitor goes black. When I press the on off repeatedly it comes on then turns off again. The intervals are varied form a few minutes to an hour or more. Is it the switch? I have a differnet model princeton that was going off and on. But I changed 3 capictors as recommended on this forum and it works fine now. Could this be a simalr issue?
SOURCE: the monitor shuts off. Turning the power off
the monitor is going into power saving mode ... it can happen if it is not receiving any signal from the pc ( pc is not running or booted properly, bad video cable connection monitor to pc) or the pc is itself in suspend/standby mode.
SOURCE: princeton vl1918 flashes on than off
See previous solution for Princton Monitor cycling on and off.
Solution: Change out 3 capacitors.

You should set it to the native resolution of this monitor which is 1280 x 1024 @60Hz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Capacitors kit: http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/ he can make you a set of caps for you.

m_zuk, Could be. Did you do the flashlight test? Just what do you see AFTER the panel goes to a black screen? Could also be intermittant(thermal) solder joints on the botttom of the SMPS/INVERTER board(s). Do these Princeton monitors have 2 or 3 boards? 2 boards mean you have a COMBO. 3 boards then SMPS and Inverter are separate. You did not state the age of these monitors. Were these units causing problems last month, or six months ago? When did you see a nice a "crisp,sharp,bright" screen last? Have you contacted Princeton to see if they have a REBUILT swapout program? You send them yours + $40 - $90.. They send you same model in return. I'm louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel @aol.com. bye for now.
