LG Flatron W2234S Monitor Monitor goes black

LG Flatron W2234S Monitor Monitor goes black and displays LG Logo with an Energy Star icon next to it for about 3 seconds then returns to normal. The transition occurs at varying intervals but appears that something may be wrong with the monitor. Currently blinking about every couple minutes.

It displays normally otherwise

    I called LG and they are bringing me a whole new monitor, since it was a problem they knew and wasn't worth to be fixed under warranty (its 10 months old). So I guess Monday it is fixed.

    However your solution did not work for me, but thanks anyhow.

Ahh the same thing has happened to my monitor! Mine unfortunately is 1 month over warranty. Apparently this is a common problem with this model!

Testimonial: "Excellent advise and many thanks. But it seems that this model does suffer some problems with this fault and LG knows it."

Exactly the same prob to me as well....apparently its a defect wit this monitor

  • Sim JOE Jan 28, 2011

    I had the same problem, and my desktop power saving settings were set to: Never - Never - Never.
    Still the monitor went black all the time, and I was unable to restart. My monitor is LG Flatron W2453TQ, and my graphic card is Zotac GT 430 (1 GB).
    My problem was solved the moment I switched from the iriginal DVI cable to a VGA cable [from the VGÅ connectin point on the monitor to the DVI connection point on my graphic card (using a VGA-DVI plug) ,
    Maybe the problem was in the DVI cable - I don't know - but now my computer is working just fine again. :-)

The problem is more likely on the computer end rather then the monitor. It would seem you are loosing the video signal from your PC. Possible causes are a loose video cable connection, a video card that is going bad, or misconfigured power saver settings. Check your cables first. If that is not the problem then you need to check your power saver setting. You can do this by right clicking the windows desktop, when the dialogue box pops up select OPTIONS at the bottom to open Display Properties. Display Properties is where you set your screen saver, themes, video settings etc.. Next, click the Screen saver tab, at the botton you will see the Energy Star logo and to the right a POWER button. Click on the power button. Set monitor hard disks and system standby to NEVER. This will prevent your system from turning off any devices. If none of the suggestions work, send me a note and I will help with more detailed diagnostics.

SOURCE: Moniter transitions to LG logo

Check the cable and make sure it is plugged in securely at both the monitor and PC. If the cable is connected properly, then the problem must be in the monitor itself. You could try setting the input mode manually on the monitor - the default should be auto - you could set it to VGA or DVI whichever your case is and see if it helps.

Hello, I have a LG flatron w2234s and a week ago the screen started to shut down on its own while i'm using the computer or when it goes to sleep mode. The screen gives me the LG sign and just turns off...

First try it on another Pc, you'll know the root of the problem. If there's no problem on another pc then the problem would be with your video card/motherboard. If the problem is still the same on another Pc, then your monitor has internal problem. You better call up a technician, he/she will check it for you, must be Pcb problem. Good luck. Thanks for using FixYa.

LG W2234S restarting every 3 minutes

I will assume that you have already try this monitor with other PC with the same result, and also try new VGA cable with the same result, otherwise you will have to open it up and o some inspection inside the monitor.
Most common failure in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, falied inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what goes wrong: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further.

LG Flatron L177WSB-how would I use my newly purchased unit after switching it on, LG logo appears followed by the Power Saving Mode it all goes black on the screen.

Hi, the Power Saving Mode, turns the screen off to conserve energy. On the remote, press Menu, and scan to Power Saving Mode. You can change the amount of time, when the Screen turn-off, the TV shut-off etc. You can set the time to (5 min) to, (never, turn-off). This should help with your problem. Thanks paul7of9

No picture lg flatron w2234s blinking blue light

Hi My screen developed exactly the same problem. It appears to be a hardwear problem associated with the screen it's self. continuity test is ok on the lead so I took it back to the shop under warranty and hey presto, the replacement works. I don't know what the problem is but there are a number of other folks on another thread with the same problem and their entries are dated May 09 too.  Dave

Monitor restarting randomly

Rarely does a monitor go out due to drivers. Try another monitor and verify that it isn't the computer (it isn't). If the power light goes out it is the power supply (usually inside) the monitor. If the light stays on, it will most likely be the backlight power unit. Browse the internet for the model and parts. Newer units are difficult to find.
