Safety note: For best safety practice, unplug the unit immediately. If you want to try and diagnose and/or repair it yourself, at least move it to an open area free of anything that could flame up in case of sparks or a fire.


Mr. McLellen could be correct about the failing solder joints. Since the symptoms increase as the unit heats up, I suspect it is more likely an electronic component failure. The specific symptom you describe is common in transformers with electrical shorts or with a cracked frame. Insects may also be the cause. Some are specifically attracted to warmth and electromagnetic fields. To rule out insects, take sample whiffs around the vent holes on the back of the unit after it starts crackling and flickering. Electrical burns are distinct from most other types, especially roasting critters.

SOURCE: LG L1900E flickering after cold start

This is probably due to a bad solder joint somewhere. Bad solder joints can effect a unit in the reverse also. IE works at first and then dies after it gets warm. Think about how metal expands when it is heated. And contracts as it gets cold. If there is a hairline fracture on one or more component joints, this would cause it to not have such a great or solid connection when it is cool, or contracted. As it gets warmer, the solder expands therefore filling the void and giving it a good connection.

Regardless, it will likely only get worse over time. If you're handy with a soldering iron, pop it open and reflow all the joints. Especially the ones on the transformers and copper coils. Best to hit them all, excluding the tiny surface mount devices.

If you need further help or if you'd like to have this, or any other LCD monitor repaired for a flat rate fee of $40, please visit my web site http://BoiseLCD.webs.com, or email me at [email protected].

SOURCE: Green light flickering & Sunset red screen display.

You've got components that have gone bad, probably from age and the normal heat inside a CRT monitor case.

I hate to say it, but it's really not worth fixing. You can usually find a used but working 17" monitor for under 20 bucks.

Good afternoon. I have an LCD . When I turn it

Sometimes LCD screens can flicker if kept in cold environments. Make sure that it's not too cold in the area of the LCD. Also, make sure the cable to the monitor is connected properly, as a loose cable can also cause the screen to flicker.

I got a Gateway LCD 900G monitor, it keeps flickering and making hissing noises, what can i do?

Flickering could be a loose power connection but the hissing is indicative of a potential short. for your own safety, I'd get this to a TV type repairman asap.

Monitor flickering

Monitor flickering can be one or several problems.
Depending upon the age of the unit and value, you should decide weather to repair it or replace it.!
More than likely, it is a problem in your power supply.
The capacitors in the supply will leak and most often crown.
If when you start unit after sitting for a while, it shows good and then after a few minutes it starts flickering, you can bet it is one or several capacitors in the supply.
This monitor is a 17 inch and not really worth the time and investment to repair, unless you have the technical skills to remove and replace electronic components.

Dell 2005FPW Monitor Flicker problem

The flickering is most likely the florescent backlight having a hard time starting, Just like in a light fixture, as it gets old, it takes longer to warm up to get full functionality.
If under warranty, contact Dell for a replacement, if not, then when it becomes untenable, replace the monitor. Prices are dropping drastically, an new 20 or 22 In can be bought for about $150 or less

Monitor flickring

  1. Flickering screen display

    Flickering on the screen can be caused by defective hardware in the computer or by improperly installed software, but it can also be caused by interference from external devices. The following examples describe situations in which your screen could start flickering:
    • Screen starts flickering because of interference caused by devices which generate magnetic fields, for instance:
      • a TV set
      • a laser printer
      • another monitor
      • fluorescent lights
      • hidden power lines
    • Apart from interference, an incorrect setting in your system CMOS setup can also cause flickering. On some systems it is possible to distinguish between interlaced and non-interlaced monitors. The setup of your system should always be colour non-interlaced.
    • Proximity to the monitor of fans, air-conditioning units or other devices with rotating motors.
    • The number of devices using power from the same electrical line. Are you overloading the plug?
    • Monitor placed on an unstable surface.
    • Improper video drivers, this is a software problem, see section B
    • An improperly configured or a defective video card.


  2. Reinstalling the video drivers

    1. Start the computer.
    2. Click Start, select Settings, and click Control Panel.
    3. Double-click the System icon.
    4. Select the Device Manager tab in the System Properties window.
    5. Make sure that View devices by type is selected and locate Display adapters and Monitor in the list.
    6. Click the plus sign (+) in front of both items to get a list of installed devices.
    7. You need to remove every device by highlighting it and clicking the Remove button and OK when the warning message appears.
    8. After doing so for both items, they should disappear from the list.
    9. Close the Device Manager by clicking OK, and you will return to the Control Panel.
    10. Double-click the Add New Hardware icon.
    11. Click Next, select Yes when it asks "Do you want Windows to search for your new hardware?", and click Next twice to start searching for new hardware.
    12. This will take a few minutes and, after it is finished, you will have to restart the computer. Windows 95 or higher will automatically set up the correct monitor and video drivers.
    13. If the screen is still flickering, click Start, select Settings, and click Control Panel.
    14. Double-click the Display icon and select the Refresh tab.
    15. Change the Monitor Refresh Rates until the flickering disappears.
    16. If the flickering remains, go to step C.


  3. Troubleshooting

    1. If it is possible, connect a different monitor to the computer. If the flickering disappears, it is a fair indication that the monitor is defective, otherwise go to the next step.
    2. Set up the computer and the monitor on a different place in your house. If the flickering disappears now, it is most likely an interference caused by something in the original location. Check for devices which can cause interference.
    3. If the flickering persists, check the setup of your system. If available in the setup, make sure that the option Monitor Type is configured as Colour Non-Interlaced.

Gateway Flat Screen FPD1830

Well, this problem is going to only get worse. You can probably send it back to the manufacturer if you still have a warantee, but if you can't just buy a new monitor.
