Top 10 E-Machines eMachines Monitor E15T4 Questions & Answers

If you mean you can still see your screen and everything on it, but everything is very blue, then check your video cable from the PC to the monitor.

It will have a broken wire inside and is a common problem. Just wiggle it around in a circle and it should come good. Hold it in that position with something until you can replace the cable.

I got rid of the "Auto processing" flashing on my monitor by just firmly TAPING DOWN THE MENU BUTTON ON THE SIDE! yeaaaaaa!

have you tried a software update for the video drivers?

Need to verify whether its a monitor issue or a computer issue. Get a known working monitor and hook it up to the computer. If you get video then you know for sure the original monitor is bad.

If you still don't get video then you know its going to be either a problem with the video card or the computer.

Click start and then control panel and then performance and then maintenance, and then power options. Move the bar to "NEVER" where is reads 'TURN OFF THE MONITOR" Also select a preinstalled Windows screen saver instead of a picture. Sometimes a downloaded picture can become a corrupt file and then it would show black after the time allowed for the screen saver to come on begains to show on the monitor screen. Next, download and run this free registry cleaner program:

Common problems for a black sceen of a LCD type monitor is failure of the inverter that drives the thin flourescent back lights.

Take a bright light and shine into the screen to see if you can see any image there, albeit faint. If you can, the inverter is probably bad. The Inverter is replaced as a unit and is usually right below the screen inside the monitor on a narrow circuit board with a small transformer and a few other components. It generates about 1200 volts to power the flourescent backlights which are tiny long glass tubes.

Other possibilities include failure of the video signals. Try another monitor to verify the signals are good.

As a monitor tech, I have to say. You two dopes are completley useless. My son, LB who suffers from severe downsyndrome among other ailments. Quickly figured out that if he stuffed the eraser he was eating between the base and the menu button, the problem would go away.

Congrats on being outsmarted by my disabled son who eats pennies and erasers.

You should be proud. Next time, don't be so, You know....havanagilaish.

Press the "MENU" button on the monitor to turn it on or off. If that doesn;t work, press the AUTO button, let it reset and then press again to exit.

Good Luck

Check your display buttons along with the keyboard and mouse, to see if you have any key stuck down, or being pressed. Is there any other devices connected to the emachine that could be causing this behavior?

I generally go to Ebay when I need to replace a part or find 'hard to find' items. You can find monitor stands on ebay for a reasonable price. You just have to make sure that the stand will work with your emachines monitor. All you have to do is look at the back to see how the stand attaches to the monitor and look for the same mount type. Below is a link to an ebay listing for 15 inch monitor stands.

You can also contact ebay by chat by following this link and ask if they have stands available for your monitor. There are none listed on the emachines site, but that does not mean that they are not available. The link to the Emachines contact page is:

These are two suggestions for finding a replacement monitor base or stand. I hope that you will be able to located the proper stand from these resources.

If I can be of further assistance to you, please let me know.
