Check the power setting of your PC.

• If you are on windows;
• Click on start button

• If you have vista or windows 7, type "poweroptions" into the search bar.

If not, open control panel and find the power options inthere

• In "power options" you can change when the displaygets turned off and when your PC will go to sleep, just change these settingsto the time you want, e.g. 2hours

I can offer support for other OS if required

You just have to connect the audio input of the monitor to the audio line out of the PC using an shielded audio cable with mini-stereo phone plugs at both ends.

You need an AC adapter 12vdc 5A regulated power supply.:

or shop around.

You should have settings for these via a "MENU" button on the Monitor or if you have an "optional" display card, there should be options in the "Display Driver software". Mine uses an NVIDIA GForce, Driver, and it has these options. You should be able to find this under "All Programs" in the Startup Bar - Look for something that indicates "Monitor" or "Display" in the program name.

Red, or green, blue cast? Check all the pins of the VGA cable first, and also try it with another PC to make sure it is not video card problem.

this monitor max resolution is 1280 x 1024, are you trying to go higher than this?
If not, then you kay have unstable DC in the power supply due to bad caps.

Hi,
Maybe your monitor's having trouble getting power. Try plugging it out, and then in again. If that's not working, call you're monitor's manufacturer (if you don't know the number, try searching on the internet). Or maybe that's not the case. Maybe your PC takes time sending the signal to monitor. Call the computer's manufacturer (if you don't know the number, try searching on the internet). Hope that helps,
Daniel

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses, poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

If you run WIndows 7, yes. Otherwise make sure your video card has correct driver installed.

I will assume that it does the same with other PC as well.

What is the problem with monitors? Flashes on then goes black? See example of failed (most) monitors due to bad caps: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

A few steps you can do to try to remedy this:

1. Is the monitor on? Sounds simple, but it's happened to me before! 8)

2. Try another monitor. If it works fine, then it is clearly your monitor that is the problem, and not the graphics card in your computer.

3. If it is your monitor, try using another signal cable or another power cable. Unfortunately, if neither of these solves the issue, the problem is most likely within the monitor, and will not be easy to fix (read: you will most likely have to replace the monitor).

Good luck!

Out of range usually means that the computer is trying to use a resolution that is unsupported by the monitor. Try loading the PC in safe mode (for windows, press F8 before windows loads) and change the desktop resolution to 800x600, which is supported by pretty much any monitor. Restart the computer normally and you should get your video. Once inside windows you can experiment with different resolutions, and when it goes out of range, just wait 15 seconds for it to go back to 800x600.

Same problem.
