SOURCE: Blank ACer X221W Monitor
Hi this is the way how to examine what's wrong with your LCD monitors. Power on both CPU and monitor. After it went dim and blank, you have to check if you can see the image on the screen or not by shining a flashlight into the screen, not directly but find the best angle to the screen and take a look very closely. If you can see the icons or any image, there will be a minor problem. Like me, I can see window image using flashlight and check lamps inside. Some of them were broken and it is easily replaced. If you cannot see anything on the screen, there'll be some problems with inverter board. If you have soldering tool and want to fix it by yourself, check the caps first. It may cause this problem. Some caps might show leaking or burn spot on the board because of too high temp. If you don't have soldering tool, you better go get a technician to do so.
SOURCE: Acer AL1512 LCD Monitor Problem
Hi,
Based on your description, the problem could either be:
Since the Acer AL1512 works fine except dark, we can rule out the video interface, power supply and ontroller. Again, the display
showing (even dimly) is significant, it tells us that the components are working
except that for some reason and most likely it is heat related.
Possibly a cold solder, a loose connection and/or a dried up capacitor.
You could actually verify this be shining a flashlight diagonally
across the screen and some semblance of the desktop albeit dark would be slightly visible.
What
is required is opening the LCD lid/panel to perform repairs. This of
course would require a fair familiarity of electronic
components/circuitry and safety procedures, use of a DVM and a
soldering iron. It would be to your added advantage access to a service
manual or at the very least a schematic diagram with voltage readings.
Should you be uncomfortable performing a DIY (do-it-yourself), perhaps your best bet would then be to seek the services of a qualified professional.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
SOURCE: monitor lcd acer al2016w 20" letters and image are fuzzy,,why?
I also have an Asrock motherboard (M266A) and have the AL2216W. The image and text is also fuzzy. I did improve it a by by unplugging/replugging all of the connectors on the back of the computer. I believe my mouse had a somewhat loose connection and this was causing interference. I can actually create interference on screen by moving my mouse up and down.
These Acer monitors seem to be very sensitive. I also tried this monitor on a old Desktop with Win98 and another new laptop with XP and it looks good on those computers, but not on my Asrock based system.
SOURCE: Desktop distortion of a Picture
you have to make sure that the picture you want to use as a background has similar resolution to that you are using in your actual display. for example if you are using 800x600 resolution you should have a picture close to that so it doesnt look distorted.
SOURCE: MY ACER MONITOR IS DIM , HOW DO I BRIGHTEN IT UP?
Push the button on the front that says menu. Within that menu you will find the brightness control. Use the other buttons to move through the different menu items until you get to Brightness. Once there push the menu button again and then adjust the brightness with the other buttons.
.
It is a small circuit board right below the lcd, that powers the
backlight. If you take off the front bezel of the laptop you should be
able to see it, it will have a 2 wire power cord coming out the one
end, and another plug in on the other end with several wires. 97 views
