Sceptre 17" LCD Monitor Questions & Answers
No picture
I fixed mine. Had to replace one bulging capacitor in the power supply. Yours may need more or less but it was pretty easy if you do any electronics. The specifics can be found under some of the other problem posts, especially for one of the 19" sceptres.
I have a Sceptre X7G-Naga VI 17 inch LCD
try with restarting computer & press F8 at the same time. u will see a menu where choose "safe mode" & start the computer. in safe mode see the display properties, set the refresh rate & resolution according to monitors specifications, apply & restart again. if that does not work, replace the main board of lcd monitor.
Sceptre X7G Naga VI dissaembly.
I have a bad power supply in mine as well. trick to opening it was popping off the silver caps on the base to remove the base. then using 2 bladed screwdrivers carefully pry the front plastic bezel off the back. there is no glue just locking tabs.
Screen goes blank
Yes, its not the bulbs, its the inverters that are build right into the power module and all that is wrong with that is one or more bad capacitors (bulging or burst) so don't waste $100 getting a new module from Sceptre, fix it yourself (if you have the skills and tools - which wasn't much - a new cap, some flux core solder, and iron, maybe some desoldering braid and then basically a little desoldering and then resoldering). I got lucky and only had to replace one 330uF 16V cap that was bulging and mine is all fixed. For more specifics check under the Sceptre 19" monitors where some very detailed repair procedures are posted.
Sceptre X7G-Naga VI
My problem sounds equivelant: The problem is that it will power down after 15 minutes, then take 1/2 hour or more to power back up!I believe I have solved my problem with my X7G! I remember seeing a direction on the only direction papaer I got with it that told me to Turn off ALL POWER SAVING WINDOWS SETTINGS! I think the monitor is set to care for all the monitor/power saving itself. I am going to try it and will get back to you, or just try it yourselfs!

It's these cheap power inverters! They blow out in 3 months.
Sceptre 17" lcd monitor is plugged in but no power please help!!
Let's rule out the obvious first. It may be that a power surge has blown out the power supply on the monitor but let's check the outlet as well. Plug a lamp into the same outlet that the monitor is plugged into. If the lamp works, the monitor may have gotten zapped. If it doesn't work, plug the monitor into a known working outlet. If it turns on, the outlet is the problem. If it doesn't, your power supply may have gotten zapped in a power surge. This is assuming you don't have it all plugged into a power strip. Perchance would you be using a UPS (uninterruptable power supply)? If not, it's a good idea to purchase one for the next such occurence. You really don't need a heavy duty one. Just one that will give you about 5 minutes or so to power down after you have saved your work so nothing is lost. They also protect against such spikes and surges. Let me know what you find out.
