Comes on for 30 sec. goes black
If you can make out a faint image then the fault is a backlight problem.
The fault could be an inverter board or the CCFL lamp/s

Scepter LCD not working, can't disassemble
A little late but hey better late than never. I assume you have the screen assembly out of the plastic housing by now. The bar with buttons actually hides two out of the six screws that hold the monitor brackets in place. Pretty straight forward. Once you get the screen separated from the plastic junk, take off the thin metal protector in the centre at the back of the screen which hides the circuit boards. Should be just one screw and then slide the cover off. Make sure you disconnect the one electric connector that protrudes through the cover on the side before you remove it. Do not pull the wires, use a needle nose pliers instead. Underneath the cover you'll see two circuit boards, one with surface mounted ICs and one with capacitors and coils that the power cable attaches to. This is the board that needs repair. On this board are 4 small capacitors in a row in a small seperate section of the board. Two of those are a little smaller than the other ones. Hopefully you know what a capacitor looks like. These capacitors are rated as follows: two 470uf/25V and two 1200 uf/10V the 470s are the smaller ones. You can take the board out, make sure you disconnect all plugs and take out all screws, mark were they came from or better, take a picture if you are not faimiliar with this stuff. Then either replace the capacitors yourself or have somebody do it. The parts total about 4 bucks. Desoldering is tricky so of you have never done it, better not attempt it, get a pro to do it. When done, re-assemble in reverse order. Good luck.

I have a 20 sceptre widescreen lcd monitor
Have you tried any other monitor connected to your computer since your current problem? Check your connections, make sure your VGA cable/DVI cable are in good condition. If none of that works try to RMA it to sceptre if your still within the 1 year period.

Sceptre monitor will not return from idle.
The only workaround was to not use the DVI cable but to use the old VGA cable. You still get the same resolution.
I have a different ATI board, so I'm thinking it's an ATI+Sceptre on DVI input bug. Anyway, use the VGA cable, it'll work.

Sceptre X20G Naga III showing horizontal and vertical lines
Hi...there,
Yeah, there it... It's called a AD board. It that piece of component were you plugged your VGA or DVI cables to it. Panel scratchs repair kits, not recommended. Beside your panel could be already damaged by this problems you had. Replacing the AD board gonna cost you though...any where from $70.00 or more... My recommendation, just get a new one...saved you the headached and $$$.
Have a nice day!

32" Sceptre LCD No POwer
This is the same problem I am having with my Speptre X20WG Naga Monitor.
The power LEDS are usually red in standby and blue in opp; but now they just go purple and nothing happens..no sound no picture. I called tech support and no dice they just wanted my money, but I think all we might have to do is change a fuse on the main pcb! As you can see the white arrow isnt really pointing to anything specific! I think the fuse is the lt blue component, but am not sure. This is all I can offer! If you gat any good tips or if anyone else finds a fix please email me
[email protected].
Thanks! and good luck m007!
