I have an Acer al1912 19 lcd monitor. When I restart my computer or when it comes out of an off state. Most of the time it will stay black or in an off like state until I unplug the monitor and then plug it back in. Once on I have no issues with it, it is only when I am coming from an off state.

Tad older post but not too old, and ignored.
it's an old monitor lucky you it works at all,
after all most are dead now, 99%
15 years old today.
if the OSD is dead under 10second from, power on
the Montors CCFL tubes are dead.
the fail these ways
1: dead for ever.
2: work intermitantly (you)
3:Strobes.(means flashing like in a DISCO)
4: only 1/2 screen dead, (2 tube displays)
5; turn yellow, for white
6: dim, for ver.

never seen any 15 year old CCFL screens good.
not me unless parked on self for 10 years.
the clue is on last page, in your manual, the word "
mercury Hg toxic, it's there, means CCLF tubes here)
the cure is 2010 or newer monitors with LED back lamps
do that now, end the pain of #1 soon to happen.

SOURCE: monitor goes black

Sorry to have to tell you this, but this is common in LCD monitors. The reason that it is going black when it boots is for one of two reasons. You either have a bad power supply that powers your LCD or your LCD's backlight is blown. These can be repaired or you can purchase a new one. But if it goes black 9 times out of 10 is because the backlight is bad. These can be repaired!

By initiating the on screen menu, you navigate to the brihghtness etc.This can also be related to contrast. Get a keyboard with zoom keys that will make it east to enlarge text.Mine is a logitech wireless S510 and its a great bargain and comes with mouse.the best solution is, however to buy a 42 inch or larger display and use that as you monitor. I can never go back!

SOURCE: Acer Monitor Doesn't Receive Signal From Computer

can you test your monitor on another computer to verify the monitor is at fault? If the monitor is at fault its time for a new one, factory warranties on monitors are usually 1 year unless you purchased an extended warranty.Otherwise repair is usually more costly than buying a new one.

The problem may not be the monitor. Acer AL1714 is known for its weak power supply unit. Unplug power supply from monitor. If the green light on monitor comes on but goes out quickly, the power supply is the culprit!

Monitor won't stay on. each time I turn it on it comes up for about 3 seconds and then goes black

aburnsrn, Cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps don't light-up, you will be looking at black screen!! If unit older than 5-6 years trade for new wide-screen. Else read for about 2 hrs. in my fixya profile for more options.

someone set the refresh rate or the resolution to high for the monitor to display - start up in sage mode and change the resolution to 1024 X 768 this should work

Acer AL1711 LCD Monitor goes repeatedly black after bootup after just a few secs picture and has to be turned on & off at least 6 times thereafter with picture staying only 2 secs each time until...

cpburn, It's BROKEN!!! SHUT IT OFF AND LEAVE IT OFF!!! The "switch-mode-power-supply" has DETECTED a fault and then goes into full or partial SHUTDOWN to save itself from a catastrophic, nonrecoverable failure. eg. sparks, smoke, fire. The good news is you stated "picture staying only 2secs" !!! It can be fixed! Just how you do it is the question only you can answer. If you know how to replace components on a circuit board (unsolder&solder) you might do it for less than $12 in parts. To understand exactly what is involved I suggest a visit to www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm run by another guy on fixya with nickname "buddymc"! He's GOOD! If "do it yourself" is not your thing, then here are your options: Acer refurb swapout. ??? Contract to local TV/Monitor shop.?? Contract to a distant Repair shop.??? But before doing any of the above try YOUTUBE and search out and view some of the longer (6-12min) vid clips of "LCD monitor disassembly""Lcd monitor repair". If you require further assistance I can be accessed through [removed by staff] or on fixya. I'm 12fixlouie If this response was of some help please rate on fixya. Bye fo now.

My acer AL2416w monitor turns on to a black screen

I have 2 Acer AL2416W monitors that i have been using for 2 years. There has been a handful of times i would turn my computer on in the morning and the screen would be black and Acer would lightly flash on the monitor 1 time. Typically a restart would take care of the problem. Last week the monitor blacked out and i can't get it to work. Any suggestions?? I switched ports on the computer to verify it wasn't the video card and tried new DVI cables to verify it wasn't those? Is this fixable??

Monitor goes black

If U can see the cursor then your monitor is fine, the culprit is your graphics card. It could be a virus, or a driver error. Try installing the drivers and check for viruses, if no help then Your graphic card is the most likely fault
