My emachines monitor is about 2 years old. When I press the power button it comes on for a few seconds, and sometimes will not power on at all.

use external monitor to setup internal monitor setings

youmight remove your graphics and check the socket for dust restart your computer this should activate the found new hardware wizard
if you run an extended desktop this will tell you if the monitor has gone bad
use a vga lead to attach it

click start control panel display change display settings adjust resolution this may vary depending on your operating system you should a no 1 and a no 2 with detect and identify keep an eye on

the screen when you select the number tabs this may vary depending on your operating system when you select the no 2 tab this should be the extended desktop always click apply after making any changes
i have read some reviews on your monitor
So the ex-hubby calls me with his woes - his eMachines T3124 is having problems. Seems that when he cold boots in the morning it hits the "E" splash screen and then just goes to black screen. No bios boot screen, no boot to windows. Everything sounds ok though. After a few restarts it boots ok. So, first trouble shoot is to replace the 180w Bestec power supply with a salvaged 300w Hippro from my T6420 (which was replaced with a 500w) - the one I replaced the mobo on. Works great ... for one night. Next morning I get the frantic call - now he gets nothing after the "E" splash but white wavy lines, but the computer sounds like it's running fine. Ok - ok ... think, think. First thought was maybe the onboard graphics have gone, next thought maybe the mobo is going ....

What is the next thing we do after trying a known, good power supply? Try another working montior. I had him try using a trusty older CRT monitor and Wha-Lah! After less than 3 years the E17T4 LCD monitor had failed. Most recent crisis handled. This little incident has made him realize though that he needs to burn all his picture and videos to CD. Scared him to think he could have lost them. Today's reminder? BURN your pictures and videos now! You never known when something might happen. And eMachines monitors are ****.

hope this helps

• To take your radio out of monitor press the "mon" button and your radio will now be out of monitoring mode.

problem with ccfl lamps, inverter circuit or powersupply circuit...

I am going to suggest if it's only 3 months old you should take it back to where you bought it. Mine quit working right a few weeks after I bought it and they gave me a new one. Be sure you take your receipt with you. Even new things can mess up.

Hi Sammy7!!

I have such iiyama AS4636D monitor. In this day purchase.
I have such problem with you.
My solution:
Desktop pc and lcd power off (230VAC or 110VAC)
Power on lcd, after early desktop pc.
This moment, when running the pc booting, press and hold you the " + " button.
In this moment come in one blue screen. May be running on the sreen short message: check or select input mode: VGA DVI 1 2 . Select your correct cable connection type.


Have a nice day! and happy new year!

sometimes the power is work sometimes is cant work

1.check power supply section any dry points
2. To replace all electrolatic capacitors in Power supply
3.Check Connectors Properly connected Or Not.
4.Replaced Microswitches in Front pannle.

Sounds like the power board is starting to lose it's dc voltage power and making it hard to start till the board warms.
This will get worse and eventually it will die totally.
You probably need to rehab the power and inverter board

Even my monitor HPM704 does the same thing from 12Mar08. I bought this monitor an year before. It looks like this batch of monitors have issues from factory itself. Plan to get support from customer care.
