Audio and picture quit working on white westinghouse lcm-17v8

Hi, it seems to be an issue with your monitor's backlight not working properly. Just to be sure, try using a different monitor on the same exit of your VGA, if that works, my supposition is confirmed. In case your monitor is still under warranty, just send it to Westinghouse support center, otherwise I'm afraid you will have to buy a new one. Hope it helped, Franz

try to down load the drivers

Hello,

The internal power supply in the monitor is about to die. This is a very common problem with LCD monitors after 2-3 years of use. Check out the pages on monitor repair at our site: www.ccl-la.com We have the parts you need to do the repair and we will have a repair guide posted for your monitor by tomorrow night 01/06/2010. If you can solder then you should be able to do the repair yourself, it involves changing about 5 parts and a little soldering. If you don't want to do the repair, we do offer repair services. You can get more details at our web site.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

I have a BenQ FP791 17 in LCD. I was working until one day I turned it on and it now only displays an all white screen. I plugged it in to another computer, same problem. I can add it as a second monitor to windows but all it displays is white. Windows finds it and the mouse can move over to it but I do not see anything. I am handy with a soldering iron, but not nessisarily diagnosing electronic problems.
Comment posted on Oct 26, 2008I ended up replacing the bulging capacitors on the board inside, and now it works. Thanks for all the comments and help.

I had the same problem with my two LCM-19W4 monitors. Both failed within two months of each other. Radio Shack stocks 220uF 35V capacitors that work fine for this. You have to pay $1.49 ea though.
