Acer Monitor Lcd 22 in X221w LCD Monitor Dead.Won't come on when you turn on computer.

If you are going to DIY and already try the monitor with another PC, and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed 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 ACER monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

try to turn on again the power button or in the remote then if did not work or power on.Your monitor have problem in power supply.need a technician for repair.If the power on then check the timer settings.

its the vga port in cpu ... just tight the screws of vga cable then it will work..its not the problem of lcd or laptop ..its just the VGA port

leanish, Yes, your lcd is a viable candidate for REFURBISHMENT! Only I left out the word "MAYBE". YOUR words "on for a couple seconds" is the clue that places you into the "viable" catagory! Your stated symptom is CLASSIC of many thousands of other lcd owners whose screens are now BLACK and lifeless. Now for the FIX it part. First thing to do is visit YOUTUBE! FYI to help you make a decision to do the repair yourself or contract out the work to get your x221w back ONLINE. Search and view the longer vid clips of "lcd monitor disassembly","lcd monitor repair". Learn what internal components on the "switch-mode-power-supply" and "inverter circuit" cause the CLASSIC symptom refered to as the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH. Also research my other posts in my profile on how to do the "rude&crude" flashlight test that every lcd display owner should know how to perform and interpret when the BSOD strikes without warning. It's not hard to do and you would then have provided another 2 lines of useful information along with AGE and or approximate total "ON" hours of use the unit has seen since the purchase date. One more thing that OWNERS fail to state is if the unit "is" or "is not" under warranty by the manufacturer! Warranty work is the very first thing to check because it's FREE!!! Well, anyway, I wish you good luck in your quest to fix your unit. If you need additional info you can always do a repost to fixya, or [email protected] I'm 12fixlouie on fixya If this response was of some help then please rate it on fixya. Bye for now.

probably needs new voltage regulator for backlight. it would probably be cheaper to just buy a new monitor

use another monitor crt not LCD. adjust first the resolution. then connect again to your acer LCD. or you can auto config your acer from menu.

MY LCD 22 ACER MONITOR GOES O BLACK AND I CAN'T SEE THE MENU

Hi...there,
It's seems you've got a busted backlight inverter. Sure you can...you've got a 3yrs warranty for parts.
Send it back for repaired...
