Ibm 9513-ag1 flat monitor, get flashing amber light when plugged

flashing amber normally just means it has gone into standby because it's not getting a valid signal, when you bought the other monitor did you use a different vga/dvi cable when you plugged it in? are both inputs the same? for more information on the padlock please read this page http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Dell-LCD-Monitor-Flashing-Padlock-Icon/index.htm

A flashing power light often means the monitor isn't getting a signal. When you turn the monitor off and back on, do you see the brand logo for a few seconds? Try plugging it into a different computer to see if it comes on.

If plugging it into another computer doesn't work, it may be a bad power circuit in the monitor. A common problem with monitors is the capacitors going bad. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can try replacing them yourself. Look here for pictures and instructions: Fix an LCD Monitor

Hi friend,

You have provide only model no ...you should provide company name...but if you want purchase new control buttons...you need to contact any computer hardware shop they will provide you new button...which one you need...

Hello,

You have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors will blow a power supply. The problem is caused by parts called capacitors overheating in the confined space of he monitor. If you are good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix he problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad parts, replace any that look like the pictures and your monitor should work fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct + and - connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new one the same way. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer a repair service for $35 plus shipping. I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

I have the same monitor. I had the same problem you have. I couldn't find the correct replacement part so I improvised. The plastic part you refered to just activates a micro switch on the circuit board. In my case the micro switch worked just fine so I used 5 plastic buttons off of some ball point pens as a replacement. I took the monitor out of its plastic case and drilled holes in the front bezel directly over each of the 5 micro switches. I then put the buttons from the ball point pens in holes. So now the push buttons from the ball point pens act as a substitute for the broken part. I hope this helps.

i have a dimension 4600c. same problem. amber flashing light no sounds. replaced my power source and its now working fine. bought one on ebay for $47

Next thing I would check is the VGA cable between PC and monitor.

Make sure is in at both ends and if possible try another one.

Do the Dell Menus come up with no VGA cable plugged in? Is the light amber? Flashing or static?

Dont know if you ever got an answer for this question but no the 9513 will only accept DVI input. You cannot change it to accept analogue.

You can test the monitor by using a HMDI to DVI input if you have satellite or cable box with a HMDI output.
