You may have a bad capacitor which involves on board soldering and a cap test unit. You can sometimes see a bad cap (capacitor) due to the top bulging and not flat. Most LCD screen issues like this are going to be about a bad cap. There is a web site that may help; http://www.badcaps.net/forum/

How did the auto configuration came about? Try pressing the buttons before powering up. Maybe some of it are stuck.

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 ACER 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.

hi ,first unplug the monitor both from mains and the comp, keep it that way for some time and then check, and secondly the clicking sound might be of the relays used in the power curcit, check the relays,let me know

hi, try recycling the power, unplug the power and vga cable and leave it out for some time, then check.. let me know

normally along the number keys are cymbals, you must look for one that is a wireless sign, then i think you must press a key with this key to enable it, normally its a fn key

The speakers are not supposed to plug into the monitor, they will plug into the speaker jack on the back of your computer (usually a green plug or it will have a picture of a speaker next to it)
Hope this helps
Good Luck!

You probably have a few dodgy caps on the power board inside. It's an easy fix if you are confident around electronics.
If not, pop it off to your local TV repair shop and have it taken care of now before it gets expensive with a complete failure.

Hope it helps =)

Usually this happens when the monitor is trying to translate the signal given off by the video card.

Nothing to worry about, simply a process that the system needs to go through.

If this solution has helped you, please take the time to rate me.

is there any message saying " NO SIGNAL" on the screee of your lcd?

First, check all electrolytic capacitors and replace those which are blown or rounded. Next, if when it shuts down the green LED also turns off, then
on the controller PCB there's tiny transistor-like chip U406. Remove it from the board and try to turn the monitor on. That's reset circuit, you may live without it.

not necessarily, its just not receiving signal from the computer check your video card that might be the culprit

hi, first aid... check if the power switch is ok on the monitor, and let me know how you confirm the switch is ok???

go to acer website and download driver for monitor or graphics monitor. Make sure you download AL 1916W and NOT AL1916. Make sure after, you set your resolution to 1440 x 900. That should do the trick.

try changing with the bios settings

See the manual here... http://www.manualslib.com/manual/205373/Acer-Al1916.html#product-AL1916W - Ab

Service Manual I chanced across while googling for this monitor. Not the User Manual mind you!
