If it's an external monitor, turn off the monitor and the computer, unplug the monitor from the computer and plug it back in again and make sure it's in all the way. The crazy colors you are seeing are due to a loose connection someplace. If it's on a laptop, you need to pull the ribbon cable and reseat it and it will fix it. I have worked on Dell laptops that have that problem and it's surprisingly simple to fix.

If it's external and still does that after you pull it out and put it back, then it's time to tear it apart and look for any loose connections on the inside.

SOURCE: E153FP Monitor screen goes black light is green

The capacitors are probably bad. It is a common problem and easily fixed by taking it apart and replacing the capacitors. Try to find Rubycon Capacitors because they very rarely go bad. Do a search on google for bad caps. I have fixed about 30 monitors this way. Dell is a company well known for bad capacitors. It may not be your problem but replacing the capacitors should cost less than $10 if you do it yourself. www.photphot.com

SOURCE: Dell E172FPb 17" LCD Monitor Problem

Your inverter power supply has gone bad. You will need to replace the whole board or replace the the 2sc5707 transistors in the inverter area. Check out this link for installation videos and how to for that model

They also sell the whole board as well as repair kits

The manitor colour has gone funny the red colour has become black one

It can be one of two things First it might need the Video card driver needs to be updated or it might be bad second it could be the monitor is about to die , if you have another computer or lap top use it to plug into the device and see if returns to normal if it does the the video card is the problem if it is the same then you might have to replace the monitor

I have a lg w2234s monitor and the colour seems to have gone funny, it has a green shadow where black should be. Its not my video card because i have tried a diffrent monitor and it works fine

Sounds like the colour balance is out of adjustment. There maybe adjustment controls accessible through holes in the rear of the monitor, if not, new monitor time.

In laws monitor went blank in use yesterday. they cant find model number so all i know is its a 17'' dell flat screen monitor approx 3 years old. I think it may of gone into 'sleep mode' but cant explain...

donna,james,y , Problem could be far worse than a "sleep-mode" that has caused their "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamp" back-lit LCD display to go to black or even blank n black failure mode. Problem is so bad that if U. S. government started investigation of LCD monitor failure (e.g. Toyota cars) half of monitor manufacturers would vaporize overnight. But we are only dealing with $100-$200 units here. Not a $14k-$26k vehicle. Do some reading in my fixya profile Pgs.16 and up and in my old "louie12fix" profile and you should find everything and more about what is wrong with lcd monitor and what to do. Good luck with repair. Follow links to other web pages to see pic's of monitor innards and what makes them work and also causes them to fail. All the lcd monitor tech's here on fixya already have good idea of this failure mode. Bye for now. 12fixlouie

Green flashing pixels on all dark colours on my computer screen? they NEVER appear on light colours, just darker colours esp black, they move to fit whatever i have up, they tend to make straight lines or...

My suggestion would be to test your computer using a different monitor. You have to find out whether it is your monitor that is bad or your computer. If you use a different monitor and everything looks fine and you see no dots then you know the computer is fine and it's the monitor that is bad. But if the screen still show dots and lines even with different monitor then your computers video card has gone bad and needs replaced. I would not try to repair the monitor that can be dangerous.
Good Luck

Hp dv9000 switches on to show coloured lines on screen.

Hello

My first guess is that the screen circuitry has gone bad - although fixable. Use an external monitor to verify this. If the external monitor is fine then the screen circuitry is bad, if the external screen shows the same problem then the video chip or associated circuitry has gone bad. My company fixes these all the time.

Dell E196FP TCo99 Monitor screen problems

The screen colour changing is apparently an auto test procedure on the monitor and was prompted by a fault with the monitor not automatically shutting down when the computer is shut down. The settings on the monitor have been adjusted to rectify this and the problem is now gone.
