Screen is black and the green light is flashing

The blinking green light may be indicating power supply failure

Hello,

The 930B and the 710T use the same power supply/inverter boards. Below is a link to a repair guide for the 710T unit that should get you going in the right direction.

Since this monitor works fine with another PC, then does this PC owrk with another monitor? It sounds like video card or drivers problem. Can you start in safe mode?

Hello,

The picture board on your monitor is bad, since it goes off after few seconds and the power led or button is on, it means the picture board of your monitor has developed fault.

The best thing for you to do now is to take the monitor to a local repairer within your vicinity to help with the replacement of the picture board because the fault is not something you can fix yourself, in order not to complicate issues.

Take care.

Most common failure in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed SAMSUNG monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

Hello
1st Pull all power from pc from the wall.Plug back in and start pc up.
While starting hold down the f8 key and select safe mode.

once in go to control panel and select display.

set resoulution to default 60 hz and screen size to 800 by 600.

Reboot.

You may need to readjust your screen again.

Hope this helps.

the internal power supply is bad.

There's an internal hardware electronic part/s of your samsung syncmaster 930 that is cold soldered / defective. I suggest to bring the unit to an authorized service center to fix the problem. regards

This sounds like the inverter has gone bad. If the bulb were bad only, you would see a faint image on the screen with a flashlight.

The problem is on this monitor, it will probably cost about $100 or so to take it to a shop to get it fixed, and that is nearing the cost of a new monitor.

If you are a little bit handy, and can disassemble the monitor, you can replace the inverter. The hardest thing about this, is getting the monitor faceplate open. Just use something firm and softer, such as a nylon spudger (this is something you can find online) or you can carefully use a thin scredriver. You just have to be careful, those cases are really tight.

Here is a good guide for general ideas on how it is done.
