Sceptre X7g Monitor Flashing Red & Blue Lights. Blank Screen

Hey Guys, Problem with my Sceptre X7g monitor. It just stopped coming on & now just flashes blue, red, blue, red, blue, red stops and then cycles through it again. Have tried it on different computers and have tried other monitors. They will work, but the Sceptre doesn't work on anything. Not sure what it could be????

    I have the exact same problem. It almost seems as if it suddenly over heated or some thing.

    Is there a reset or some thing to get this thing up and running again?

    The monitor is barely a year old.

    I have the exact same problem and I tried the power down, (Had to unplug it) and repower it. Still to no avail. It flashes like it wants to display something but always stays black. I rebooted the computer to no avail. It shows the boot screen, but turns black when starting the windows xp pro boot process. The monitor is less than 9 months old.

I fixed this problem by unplugging the monitor, unplugging the video cables. Then hold down the power button while plugging it back in. Release power button and then press power button for on. It worked then. I got the icon for no signal, i plugged back in my monitors. Sceptre X9W

Hello,

Here is what I got from customer service for this issue:

Dear Customer,

While the monitor is doing that, unplug the power plug, and unplug the
vga cord from the monitor’s side. Make sure the computer is on and not
in screen saver mode or power saving mode. Hotplug the VGA cord into
the monitor, then plug in the power cord and turn on the monitor. That
should solve the problem.

If not please try this alternative method. While the monitor is doing
that, unplug the power plug, and unplug the vga cord from the monitor’s
side. Make sure the computer is on and not in screen saver mode or
power saving mode. Hotplug the VGA cord into the monitor, then press
and hold power button for 3 seconds and keep holding it while you plug
the power plug in. Do not release the power button until you see the
power LED light flash once. Afterwards you should be able to use the
monitor normally. Thanks

Having the same thing happen to me.
I've tried their "troubleshooting" and nothing worked.
I ended up throwing the monitor away.

Cannot use the 5 push-bars on X7G-NagaV to reduce the pink (red in) the background. Do you have instructions for which button to push & the sequence? Thanks

Please check to make sure that the pins on both ends of the VGA cable are OK and seted properly on bothe ends.
There is no adjustment for color casting on the screen (redish, greenish, or bluish cast).
You may have problem in the monitor or the video card.

Order of the connectors on the X7G-NAGAVI?

OK, you will have four connectors (each one with pink and white wires), there are two set of the connectors, two are above the transformer, two below the transformer. The monitor uses four lamps, two for the top side of the screen, two for the bottom side of h screen. You can plug either one of the pair of the connector to the top group of the connector, same for the bottom group of the connectors.

I have a Sceptre X7G Komodo II 17" LCD monitor/built-in speakers

You would need to connect the speakers to your computer. There should be a little jack on the back of the monitor marked audio. This will need to be connected to your soundcard jack for front speakers. Once this cable is connected you should have sound from your speakers. Hope this helps.

Sceptre X7G-Naga VI

My problem sounds equivelant: The problem is that it will power down after 15 minutes, then take 1/2 hour or more to power back up!I believe I have solved my problem with my X7G! I remember seeing a direction on the only direction papaer I got with it that told me to Turn off ALL POWER SAVING WINDOWS SETTINGS! I think the monitor is set to care for all the monitor/power saving itself. I am going to try it and will get back to you, or just try it yourselfs!

Sceptre X7G nagaVI problem

For most of the problems above you will find it is bad capacitors on the power board sending unstable power accross to the controller board.

For the last posted problem (Comment by Guest, posted on Jan 02, 2008) you have a dodgy inverter circuit that needs to be repaired.

Both faults should be fairly cheap to have taken care of at your local TV repair shop. You may need to call a few in your area not just for a quote, but also to see if they are willing to work on an LCD monitor.

Hope that helps you all =)
