Hello,

Te blinking power light is a good indication of the blown power supply. If you want to try and fix it you can check out some pictures of what the bad capacitors look like at:
www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm
You can look at some of the repair guides e have posted and get a good idea how to dis-assembly your monitor to look for the bad caps. Just replace any that look like the pictues show and yo should be back up and running. If you would prefer to not do it yourself we do have a repair service for this issue. Email me and we can setup up a service ticket.

I hope this helps, If so please rate my solution.

This is a common problem on these monitors. There are a few (sometimes only one) capacitors in the power supply and anywhere from 2 to 6 on the main board that go bad.

The number on the main board depends on how long the monitor has been having problems before it was serviced. The longer the wait, the more capacitors will have gone bad.

The power and inverter boards are easy to repair, the main board is not. As mentioned, it is a multi layer board so removing the old capacitors and the old solder can be troublesome. I would suggest you have someone experienced at soldering repair the main board.

I have a ViewSonic VX910 LCD monitor. I turn it on and it comes on for a second then goes black. I did replaced all five capacitors in the power supply board, but it didn't help, still the same problem....

AllI can think of is that a tripler or inverter could be breaking down, causing the unit to go into auto
shutdown mode. Some devise is breaking down, and causing the unit to shut down.
Not an easy problem to troubleshoot unless you've got a schematic and tech skills.
Hope this helps

Monitor turns black after 2 seconds, Viewsonic VX910

Check the power supply first for bad caps, then check to see if you do have 12vdc feeding the the inverter circuits, worst case will be the lamps, see example of failed VIEWSONIC monitors due to bad caps: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

ViewSonic VX910 monitor has a power supply issue.

Your monitor have a bad condensator in the PSU.

The only thing to do is to replace the Power Supply Unit (very expensive, more than a new monitor) or if you have electronic tools, found and replace that condensator.(cheaper way...)

or

Have you connected your monitor with a new power cord ?

Best Regards!
