My HP vs19 will not power on

the monitor is bad.? does it work with a flashlight pointed at the screen? yes, then the CCFL tubes inside are bad,
or the main board, HV inverter section bad.

so replace it.
HP does not make books on monitor repair or disassembly .
remove the base and base bracket first.
then all screws you see, it then splits. all ascess covers off too first, that can hide screws.
it is not the diodes
#1 all time fail is CCLF here. never seen on this old not dead.
all are now, 20,000 hours and BAM dead.
that is why LED was invented top stop the BAM.

WHERE IS THE MENU BUTTON

Look at the power supply first; look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

Please post back what you find

check your cable going to the monitor it may have a pin that is bent or missing

ITS PROBALY THE COMPUTER

You may have to inspect the inside of the monitor. You may have to dry it out from the inside and look for burned component which may be caused by a short due to the moisture.

If you are handy at fixing things.

Here is a link of how to fix your monitor. I had the same problem, and found this link, followed the instructions and it cost me $5.13
to fix my HP vs19 LCD monitor, and its still working great.

Don't drag out your soldering gun these are too high wattage and will melt the board. Use a 40 to 25 watt soldering iron.

A blinking blue light indiactes that your power-inverter board is not putting out what it should. It needs an overhaul which may be a simple as changing out the capacitors on the boards.
It could go beyong that to transistors or even a bad bulb.
It will have to be opened up to do that.
A picture may show visual signs of damage. If you can take one and email it to me , I'll take a look.

hello stephentunga,

sorry mate, try hp service center near your place.

ty.

There is a whole lot the typical user can check but here is the list: -Disconnect the power plug from the power strip and plug directly into a tested wall socket. Sometimes the power strip sockets go bad. -Try another working power cord. -When you plug in the power cord do any of the monitor LEDs com on?
