Screen goes white

I have the same montior. It has nothing to do with drivers, cables, graphic card, etc..it is monitor itself. You can check yourself by unplugging the monitor from computer and turn it on by itself. The self-diagnoisic should come on, but it doesn't. It is just pure, brillant white light emanating from the monitor. It come and go randomly. It is not back light since it shines quite brightly, and it is not pixel related, or scanning related. I believe it has to do something inside hardware that control information between cable interface and screen.

i have it the control panel cable to the main board is improperly soldered can be fix by anybody who is an expert solderer

Certainly sounds like a driver issue, check your cards/onboard graphics make; and download latest drivers.

Are you able to pinch a monitor off a friend to try and pin it to a monitor or graphics problem?

You may have done this but apologies as i did not read initial thread.

Try opening the monitor up, and checking for bad solder joints on the VGA connector. This is actually a relatively common problem, when the monitor gets hot from use, the solder joint begins to fail until it cools down again.

I am having the same problem so if anyone can offer some help that would be great. i have tested a new monitor and it works fine, tried old monitor on another computer and same problem, i have the same model entropy has!! i called sylvania and they say they have not heard of any problems with it!! im going to make a stink because i have had the monitor 14 months!! please help

I had exactly the same problem with a Samsung 204b LCD monitor. The problem was just a little fuse on the LCD board. Look on the board attached to the LCD (not on the power supply or video controller board) and the little fuse is usually identified on the board as F1 or something like that. The fuse is really really small, around 1mm per 1mm. You can replace it or just by pass it with a little solder point.

my xerox goes whitescreen too. Works for a bit then just goes off

Hi. Im having this same problem but w/ a ViewSonic VX-800, connected to my MSI 8500GT graphics card. I uninstalled my graphics card and connected my monitor to the motherboards VGA port and so far so good. With the graphics, I would get the white blank scrn. like 35-40 minutes into use. So i assume my video card is the problem. RMA time

try to smash it :-), it works. at least for a while. its not a problem with drivers or something else. there is hardware problem inside monitor. Maybe some of technitians should know.
15" PackardBell monitor, year unknown.

Sry 4 bad english

I sent this to geeks on wheels. They say that the video card is not the issue. Seems to be a heat related issue. definetly the lcd monitor. I have been turning the monitor off when not in use and watching the time as it stays on. So far, no problems. I haven't looked at the soldering. I don't want to go there.

Had similar problem with the dell monitor
Found that it was a dry solder joint
Looked at the control board and just about resoldered anything that looked pitted or off color

now works a treat 6 months now

That problem is a bad video processor in the monitor failing.  The fix is to replace the main board.

hello im a kwak pc technician from the philippines , my lcd monitor screen whitens too, and i solved the problem its in some kind of processor board at the back of lcd monitor it keeps overheating maybe because its overused,
so i cut a square opening on the back cover (plastic)and install a 4inches pc fan, now its working good the bigger fan the better try it don't judge. :)

My Xerox is doing the same with a HP Media center. The problem is that the xerox does not like being turned off by Windows power management. I have altered it now so that windows never turns the monitor off and the problem has dissapeared.

It's Sony crap at work....it's not the drivers and it's not the PC card. It's a faulty connection inside:

Hey Talon I am going to be with you bud, I am going to raise a stink about it too and if enough of us have this problem they will have to do something about it, maybe not with ours exactly but maybe with future models.

sorry this is not a solution but I couldn't find a way to post otherwise.I am having the same problem with mine. I have been all over looking for a solution but Advueus Tech support leaves ALOT to be desired. Please post what you found out about it, I was thinking about taking mine to a shop also. I have just started getting the white screen within the last 2 weeks and I can still get it back to normal from the off and on solution but I have quit doing it and packed away the screen(going back to a 19" CRT I had locked away). I know it is not the graphics card I have all the most recent drivers from Nvidia. I have hooked the screen up to another computer with the same results. I am hoping it is not the screen going bad, I have not owned it that long. Good thread though and keep me posted on the outcome from the shop and mine might be seeing one soon too. Thanks.

None of these solutions will work. I have the same problem, the only thing that brings the monitor back is if I smack it on the side. I read somewhere online that this is due to a loose wire/bad soldering.

If you are using an LCD display, this is ussually indicative of the power electronics in the monitor being bad. Some places can fix that for ~$90-$100 but I'd just go and get a new monitor. They are pretty cheap these days.
