Problem for Sony SDM-HS73P (Black, Silver) 17" LCD Monitor

Display with a red tone




By baderous on Oct 24, 2008

When I turn the monitor on (plugged or not to the computer) i get something like a red colored tone instead of the regular background black color. I think it's an electrical problem but I would like to confirm first. Appreciate any kind of answer. Regards

- Well, i've shutdown the monitor for at least half a day, and now it's working normally again. But yesterday it was very strange, because sometimes when i turned the monitor on the orange light on the button became flashing (meaning a self diagnose i think) and i needed to turn it off otherwise it would have stayed flashing for life, turning it on again and things were like they were, the red colored tone instead of the black background. But now it's been a few hours using it, and for now it's working properly, hope it doesn't happen again. Anyway thanks for the answer.

- Well, at that time, the problem occured again during 3 ou 4 days, but eventually, after shuting down the Monitor for the night, in the next day it turned to be okay again. It's been a while since it happened for the last time, so right now i guess i will wait to see what happens. If it becomes happening again than i'll maybe changing the screen. But thanks anyway.

- Forgot to mention, the red colored tone stayed on, it didn't fade way.

- Well, it's been a long time since i've used the monitor for a good couple of hours, and now i've noticed that the problem continues, sometimes, after the red tone appears, it goes back to it's normal state after some seconds but other times not.
I think it's better do someting about it...
Fran, how much those screens you say cost? And how can I replace them?

Regards

Usually red or pink colors are caused by bad or failing bulbs in the monitor screen.
Does the red stay on and then gradually go away or does the monitor shut down after it is started.
If a computer is hooked up does your power button light stay on bright or go dim or turn to yellow-orange ?

If the redness fades away after it warms up, then it is the bulbs.
Eventually they won't even start up and you may cause damage to your inverter board.
Most screens use 4 bulbs, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom edge.
They can be changed , but it is a bit of work, plus he bulbs average 15 dollars each to buy, so sometimes finding a replacement screen that is good is easier to do.
I have some screens, but I would need to know your model number of the monitor and of the screen.

- You would need to take it apart and get the numbers from the back of the actual lcd screen to find out if it can be found or a compatible one may be available.
