Display zooms and blanks

Normal 0 I have a Flatron 915FT Plus monitor. It has been working faultlessly but now has an intermittent problem. When the monitor has been on for some time, suddenly the display will sort of zoom large and then go blank. It is very disconcerting when I’m concentrating on the screen because it feels like I’m falling into the screen or having a seizure.

Often, after a couple of minutes or so the display will come back only to go blank again some time later. Turning the monitor off for a while doesn’t seem to speed the recovery. Some days it’s better that others but some days it’s a real pain.

SOURCE: Broken Zoom on Fuji Finepix F470

Try turning the power on and gently pulling the lens outward as it powers up. This may force the gears to re-align themselves. Use "fingertip" pressure only. Don't force it excessively. Also try turning on, and then applying slight pressure to the front of the lens while you power it off. You can also try rotating the lens barrel segments while it powers up or shuts off. Sometimes either can get the lens back on track.

SOURCE: Screen shrinks monentarily then zooms in untill screen is blank, then turns off.

I had a similiar issue that caused all my Microsoft applications to zoom out to 500%. It also caused PDF documents to shrink and go the the last page. The issue was caused by the Intellatype software that came with my ergonomic keyboard. The issue was resolved by disabling the zoom feature of the sofware on the zoom tab.

SOURCE: No picture

I called LG customer service today when my monitor went out (see previous posting) and they mentioned that it looks like it is a backlight issue. There is usually one of three things wrong when the backlight starts to go out - total blackness after coming on for a second, the power supply to the light is going out, or there are lines on the display in several areas.

Anyway, after talking to LG they are sending me some return labels and I will ship them this monitor and they are going to replace it. The monitors have a 3 yr warranty and this model is only a couple of years old. So call customer service and have them send you a new one. We'll see how it goes from here.

SOURCE: I have a L194WT LG Flatron monitor. One day it

Same problem started happening two days ago and ever since. I called LG and the product falls under a 3yr product warranty according to them (from my original purchase date of January 20, 2007). They will send packing slips to me so I can send the defective unit back to LG. I was told I am eligible for a replacement monitor - which will be shipped to me within 10 to 14 days (consecutive days, not business) - although I'm not sure what I'm being sent in return. My suspicion is that this monitor issue is a known issue by LG and they are quietly replacing the unit to those who follow through by calling CS.

Tips: Have your original purchase date on hand (in the form of a receipt) just in case they want proof of purchase.

SOURCE: lg flatron blank screen

t certainly seems like the monitor is not getting a signal. Did this happen after you changed something, or just on normal boot up?
It could be the video card that has failed.
Also, check the pins on the connector; sometimes they can get pushed in.
If you can, try swapping out the video card or use the monitor on another computer.
Good luck,

Lg flatron L1919S is blinking when I connected it as a second monitor

If it works as your first monitor, then it is either the cable/connection issue or the graphics software is not seeing it correctly or the second graphics card is not in correct or a combination somewhere.
You will need to do a bit of fault analysis to determine what is causing the issue.

Horizontal line, audio ok in LG flatron 21'' TV

It sounds like you have lost the vertical sweep circuits, it can be the Vertical out put IC is bad, Vertical yoke winding is bad, caps is bad. You will have to open it up, but you must be real careful since the picture tube can hold high voltage (24~30,000 Volts) for a long time after the monitor is unplugged, you will need to discharge the picture tube first before working on it. You may want to leave this to the pro.

My monitor lg flatron l1730s keeps going into powersave mode

check your powersaving options in windows>control panel>power options

there is a bunch of options in there that could make your monitor go into power saving mode.
also check your video card options and menu of the monitor itself all could possibly contain a sort of powersafe option.

most likely indicated with amount of minutes untill... either power off screen blank or screen saver.
