20 Most Recent HP Pavilion F1903 19" Flat Panel LCD Monitor - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses, 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 HP 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.

guest, If monitor vs19e acts same when connected to different "known good" pc then try this site for info: http://www.lesliewong.us/blog/2005/05/02/hp-pavilion-f1703-flat-panel-display-blackout-solution/ How old is this model? When was last time it worked correctly? 12fixlouie

You should try setting your PC video resolution to the native resolution of this monitor, 1280 x 1024 @60Hz.
If it still bad then you may need to open it up and inspect the inside for bad parts such as capacitors, burnt marks, etc.

check power cable for defect, if okay, your monitor needs servicing..

Probably find the screen inverter has failed and needs replacing. Can be a fiddly job as you have to dismantle the monitor so take it to your repair shop if you're not familiar with this type of repair.

You change the resolution at the PC, Right click on the desktop, the display properties will come up, the click on Setting tab to set the resolution. You must make sure that you have correct video card driver installed.

Can you check the temp. of your CPU and GPU? If your GPU runs 80 grad C, you have a overheating problem. The problem is a damage to the MB by excessive heat produced by Nvidia GPU. The only way to fix this permanently is to take out the MB and reflow the GPU with heat. You can find a video on youtube how to do it. You must take out the piece of gel between GPU and cooling unit and replace it with copper bar or penny made prior 1983 - still made out of copper. Also clean the fan. Use heat transfer paste like arctic cool - not a glue, on both sides of the penny. Install win7. Win7 does not use the coprocessor and will help to ran the notebook cooler. Install speedFan 4.40 - free utility to see what the temp is of your GPU and CPU. If you did good job it will stay around 55C. If your HP notebook is still running check the temp. If the GPU is running 80C or more it will melt the connections on the MB and quit working sooner or later.

that is problem of processor when processor is overheated it do so there is a white heat sink compound between processor and heatsink detach heat sink and apply new heat sink compound on the processor and look properly that heatsink is firmly fixed to processor or not .it may problem of fan if fan is rotating with low frequency then also it happens replace new fan the frequency of fan can be seen in setup

Unless I have the model number wrong (F1903), this monitor was relased in 2004. If it is 8 months old then it should be fixed under warranty. This can be bad problem in the bcaklight inverter circuits or bad lamps due to bad soldering works, bad power supply, please look here to see hwat is involved in repairing the monitors: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

I will assume that you already try it on another PC and still get the same symptom. You will have to open it up and look for bad solder connection in the backlight inverter board, burnt parts, shorted transistors, bad inverter transformers, bad lamps. It will be difficult if you do not have proper parts (test lamps), and test equipment to do component level troubleshooting. Post back waht you see inside if you decide to DIY. See example of what failed in monitors: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Try it on another PC to narrow down the problem. If does the same on another PC, then you need to open it up and inspect inside the unit, first thing to look for will be capacitors with bulging top/seal or leaking, see example of failed SAMSUNG monitors due to bad caps: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Did you set the PC video out put to be at the monitor native resolution? 1280 x 1024 @60Hz

reset ur ram....

try searching how on the internet find its exact brand.

or maybe you need to adjust it on you cpu setup time.

I would plug your flat screen to another computer and see if you have any problems.

I work on a PC earlier this week and I think the problem may be with the video embedded on the main board not functioning properly.

1. Check the Flat Screen on another PC, make sure your monitor is Okay......

2. Take your Main board battery out, and push it back in or replace it and see if that helps any.

3. Turn off PC.
Remove one RAM (memory) stick and may sure your Ram not going bad. I doubt if multiple RAM sticks will go bad at the same time. Boot the PC back up.

Let me know how it goes.

The hole is for anti-theft security attachment. You will need thin flat blade screw driver to crack open the case, start at the bottom edge first and then work your way around, the bad part is that there is no slot to show you where the snap-in tabs are located.

This could mean that you video card is bad or going bad. Also that the monitor is going out too. Its one or the other.Try to plug the monitor into another computer to test it first. It will give you an idea where to start. then move to the video card.

For that when you power up the computer press F8 key untill you see windows logo then enter in "Enable vga mode" then go to display property and set screen resolution to 1024*768 then apply and ok.
If still same issue then enter in safe mode then uninstall graphic driver and reinstall.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.
