    It stays on, power switch light stays green, and solid, like normal. And when on, it instantly goes to the cycle of colors. The whole screen will be red, then blue, then green, then yellow, white,black over and over. And no button responds and there is no form of osd.

    Its not the pc, I have it ran into a 32in plasma. And no, i never see the o.s.
    I am actually attempting to salvage this for a friend.
    But its such a bizzare thing that it does that I don't know what area of the monitor to diagnose. Its not the power supply, not the actual screen, it has all red, green and blue colors working well. Its as if the chipset with the firmware is wiped. That is if it has one. I just hate to see nice items not work, and usually the answer is right in front of me.
    I appreciate the help, if anyone has came across this
    tell me what became of the monitor.

    Thanks

    When you turn on the computer, what do you see on the monitor? Does the computer stay on?

This can happen if the minus button which happens to also be the auto image-adjust button is effectively grounded due to some internal fault or
if the switch itself has got jammed internally. In this case, if video signal is present, the motitor reproduces the image but continuously displays "adjusting" as osd message. If video signal is missing, the monitor cycles through solid colors in the black, red, green, blue, white sequence. I think this is part of the hp f1532 design to help the service
engineer( though I have not found any reference to it in official documentation yet). In this special case( minus button grounded), the
menu button is ignored by the monitor.

    This was suggested as a possible answer to my question of the "Quick View" menu cycling. Once I flicked the "-" button a few times I was able to fix the problem (at least temporarily).

  • atkumar Dec 28, 2014

    By flicking the "-" or minus button a few times, you managed to temporarily

  • atkumar Dec 28, 2014

    By flicking the "-" or minus button a few times, you managed to temporarily unshort the button which was jammed internally, so this confirms what I said earlier(i.e. June 2010 !)

Does another monitor work on the computer?
If another monitor works, then it is your monitor that is bad and must be replaced.
Of course, if the other monitor exhibits the same behavior, then it's the video card in the computer. But I would say that is not very likely.
You say it instantly goes to the color cycling. That would mean you don't even have a chance to get to the O/S.

  • Anonymous Jul 27, 2009

    The monitor does not have a chipset as far as I know.
    It's basically like a CRT--takes the image from the video card and displays it.
    There is circuitry within it, of course, to direct the colors to the LCD crystals. There is also a power supply but as long as you are seeing something, that's not it. Not the flourescent light, either--or it would be really dim.
    If you have successfully displayed the O/S on another external monitor, then this monitor is hosed!

HP W1707 LCD Monitor circa 2008 old. 10 years old NOW.
No PC stated or any OS at all. windows what?

connected to what? it must be connected to a working PC
or the monitor is useless as 3rd shoe.

i can only be 2 things, PC or screen bad.
  1. the test is child easy test the monitor on another PC.
  2. or test the dead PC on another good monitor.
the monitor has no software ever.
only the PC side does for the PCs video chip GPU driver.
but the PC always has one, even if, poor quality resolution.

Toss magic coin land on bad w1707
The screen, can fail for many reasons lets say it fails on a good PC. known good.
these old monitors have CCFL lamps that love to fail inside.
It has no LED back lamps , before 2010. it haS CCFL lamps.
The monitor all by its self, pc disconnected.
you power it on and it shows logo, HP or Compaq
then for seconds turned on the menu may work.'
if you see nothing the CCLF are dead.
The menu button works only with good running PC. but
might work for 1 second.
some do others dont but only for seconds does the OSD work
lacking a good PC connected.

the OSD is the menu from the monitor brain inside
the button is called select or menu.
PC turned off and Monitor now turned on the screen shows.
if the PC is dead the Monitors brain then shows.
NO SIGNAL , or NO sync.
or if PC is set up wrong the monitors shows, OUT OF RANGE.

CCFL love to fail.
the lamps turn yellow, blink or go DEAD.
as can the HV inverter seen here.

http://www.pcdied.com/monitors.html#Inverters-monitors

PAR:
i one uses the monitor 10 hours a day
on the 5th year, the CCFL goes dead. that is there normal life span.

I cant get rid of osd lockout on screen and the monitor wont turn off

Press and hold the menu button for 10 seconds. If that doesnt work, it might be time to get a new monitor. This model of monitor was notorious for having a problem with the menu keypad and buttons sticking causing the lockout.

does the OSD menu button on front of monitor work
with PC on,? it must.
OSD = on screed display from monitor brain
if yes, makes sure any menu there has the sleep timer off.
if it has it.
this monitor is old older than 2010. and has CCFL backlamps then and older.
so use flash light to see if data is on the screen if yes.
then the CCFL tubes are bad or the HV card inside dead.

yup your your service manaual

OSD main menu pop-up will not go away

Please try to Turn the monitor off. Hold down the Menu button while the monitor is turned off, then press the Power button again to turn the monitor back on. This should unlock your OSD menu and remove that message from your screen. best regards

No plug in play... don't think their dead... do I need drives first?

no country stated or if not usa what is your line power?(volts AC)
your PSU is inside monitor not outside, so uses a simple line power cord. (just wires)
12 year old monitors, found, (dead)
page one of your user guide is clear, read it yet?
seems not.,
Auto-ranging, 90 to 265 VAC
1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz, 75 Hz (never higher) resolution settings.
those are very old monitors.. worth like $10 used.
if the power lamp shows wrong, the monitor is dead.
right button is power to the right of it is a power led that must glow.
the old monitors had CCFL backlamps before year 2010.
those are back lamps, that fail fast. 20k hours, fast. (short)
first is the power switch
2nd is a working PC with at least sync signals on 2 pins
Horz/vertical.
then the OSD screens work of not the monitor IS DEAD.
inside this OLD monitor is sleep time, turn if off with OSD menu's its nothing but trouble.
some have an OSD lock, so hold the menu key for 10 seconds
and it unlocks. button 2 from left is MENU.
see page 4-10
the guide is here. not too good , poor diagnosis sections
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00276671



specs.
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-l1940-lcd-flat-panel-monitor/427303/document/c00278650#AbT3


testing
power it on, LED power , glows.
with a PC working, say running any BIOS screen only....
or running, windows, in low resolution mode 1280 x 1024
if wise set the pc up to that first. not second.
then plug in the vga cable so the MOnitor only sees that signal above. (if you do above wrong, monitor shows OUT OF RANGE on the screen)

at mon.
PUSH the OSD button, menu, if OSD is dead the montor is dead.
OSD= on screen display., (yes the LDC has brain inside)
then take a flash light . point it at screen
see data now, if yes, in the beam is data the back lamp is dead
as are most 12 years old montors now.

see those 4 cream colored connectors bottom of this PCB
those are the high voltage CCFL lamps.
2 lamps 4 ends. the lamps are bad or the board 500 to 1000vdc
power supply is dead.

This is from the user manual for the monitor. You can download a copy from hp here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=324216&os=228&lang=en&

Click on the "monitor user's guide" link to download.

There are four adjustable options on the OSD settings screen: Lock OSD settings, Timeout, H Position, and V Position.
To change OSD settings:
1 Open the OSD setting screen under the Advanced menu. See
“Using the On Screen Display” on page 25.
2 Press the Browse buttons to select the option you want to adjust.
3 Press the Select button to check the option.
To change OSD lock setting:
1 Press the Browse button to select yes (lock) or no (unlock). The
setting is automatically saved when you change the value.
2 Choose Exit sub-menu and press the Select button to return to
the OSD Main Menu or press the Menu button to exit OSD.
NOTE: Once OSD is locked, all OSD functions including the
shortcut buttons are disabled. If OSD is locked, pressing
any button on the monitor directly opens the Lock OSD
settings window so that you can unlock OSD.
