This old monitor has 2 issues.
1: it has CCFL tubes that love to burn out (backlamps)
most this old are long go, yell,dim.,blinking or DEAD.
2: push the menu button on front of mon. turn off power saver.

3: if the PC goes to sleep, or hibernete mode (parked)
then that is 100% normal
if you dont like feature then go to windows control panel
click power, ICON and turn off all monitor sleep /hibernate modes.

that assumes windows, no OS stated.


if the lamps are dead,
use flash light pointed to sceen, see data. ? bingo for bad CCFT tubes.
as seen here

    read about power saver feature.
    read page 4.11 there, pdf pg51.


    NO PC stated but sure.... we can guess.

    Management Power Saver On/Off Selection OFF

    Sleep Timer Timer Set Menu Off

    set both off. (for better ways to diagnose ANY PC)

    know that all PC's this old and all monitors HP
    this old , all have
    sleep in the PC x2 (sleep/hibernate both)
    and sleep in the monitor. (POWER SAVER)
    to diagnose any PC, this era.
    turn all those off first
    and and still black screens, use the flash light trick
    ON NEW PC, ALL THIS IS IN THE pc ONLY NOW.

    IF YOU HAVE DIM ISSUE, LONGER STORY
    SURE CCFL BAD. same deal.
    BUT DIM IS A feature on most laptops
    1: on battery it dims
    2: and has adaptive dim (dims at night (dark rooms)
    and desktops don't do #1//2, and you never told the PC make or model, or even if desktop or not.
    many folks use external monitor on a laptop
    to get a bigger or better screen or just like it better. or the internal screen burned out long ago... as is very common on 2001 to 2010 laptop (or monitor years)

SOURCE: HP f1703. After a power outage, when computer is

Hello,

It sounds like you have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors will blow a power supply. The problem is caused by parts called capacitors overheating in the confined space of the monitor. If you are good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix the problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad parts,replace any that look like the pictures and your monitor should work fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct + and - connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new one the same way. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer a repair service for $35 plus shipping.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

try booting the computer in safemode you can do this by pressing f8 continuously when the computer is booting until a menu comes up select safemode. If this is unsuccessful then the monitor has a physical issue.

Have you checked your energy saving settings? Try to set the monitor to "always on" and verfy if the problem still persists.
Also check if your monitor drivers have their own energysaving options, although i doubt it.

HP vs17 (PK657AA) problem: the image is displayed for 3 seconds

first try entering VGA mode in the startup menu. u can get the startup menu by pressing the F8 key immediately after the POST screen. if the screen stabilizes try changing the resolution to 1024 by 768 which should work in normal mode. if that doesnt work then the monitors internal bulbs may be burnt. an electrician may fix this problem for you.

I have a HP vs17 LCD monitor 17" I relaced the screen and don't remember how the wires go to the back lights. They are the pink and blue wires on the side of the power board. Can you help?

Pink and Blue wires should be for the lamp assemblies, you should have four connectors for the lamps, each pair will be plug into the socket top set and bottom set.
See example here:

Try this, no guarantees but it may need to be reset. Make sure PC is turned off. Disconnect the monitor from the PC and unplug it from the wall. Hold in the Power button for at least sixty seconds, then replug it in PC and wall. If it is reset it should start normally. If not it needs further diagnosis.
