Screen Goes Blank

I have an ACER AL 1912 monitor that goes blank a few seconds. This problem happened a few months ago as well, but it went away after reconnecting the VGA cable. Then yesterday, it appeared again. The VGA cable is seperate from the monitor and replaceable. (Maybe the fix)

When I press the power button, the light turns green, then 1 second of blank screen, then 1 second of "ACER" displayed, then blank for 1 second. Then "No Signal" displayed for 1 second, then continuous blank screen, and green light turns orange. Pressing Menu does nothing at any point.

Thank you for your help

Ive seen this on other monitors. Look for a 1 and 2. Some monitors do NOT auto detect a signal, and this one might not. Look for a way to set the monitor from Digital input to VGA input. Try that and see.

Monitor Acer Al 1914, no signal

Check your connections to the PC. Make sure that they are nice and secure. If there is a resolution problem setting it should display the boot process and then go blank after starting the operating system.

Blank white screen in my Acer Travelmate 5730 Laptop

Hello Karthik,
This must surely be a problem with your monitor, because you say that you see the white screen while boot up. If this is a graphic driver issue, you may have the problem after booting up in windows. Since its been only a month old laptop, the product must be in warranty for sure. Take away any CDs in the drive, any USB drives and see if this white screen appears. Let us know.

Thank you!

Screen goes blank after a few seconds

Hi ,
The monitor flicker problem. The monitor when turn on will display image for couple of second then turn black. The monitor status led is still green. This will happen each time it is turn on. The symptom at appear to come from the inverter board.

Upon turning on my computer monitor turns on for only about a half second then goes blank

chances are pretty good that your monitor took a dump
if you have another monitor or borrow one plug it in and see if it works.

that just happened to me and i bought another monitor and all the trouble went away

Monitor displays breifly then goes to blank screen

The power -inverter board probably needs an overhaul.
I redo many of these.
If the screen was pinkish or flickering before it finally got to this point, it is possible that a bulb has gone bad.
