SOURCE: My Asus PG221 monitor suffers from frequent issues

I'm afraid this looks like an electronic fault. Some component, most likely a capacitor, has degraded, is overheating and going out of spec.

You just might be able to squeeze some more hours of work - but the monitor is still likely to drop dead any moment now - by rigging a computer fan on the backside to extract hot air from the inside.

Possibly, the problem might have a noise factor - try adding a ferrite shielding on the cable (unless one is already there, as it often is) and see whether the thirty minutes' grace period extend somewhat.

A probably unsatisfactory solution might be to drive it at a lower resolution, so that the more relaxed frequency constraints do not stress the component so much.

When the capacitor finally blows, you might be able to recognize it and have it replaced; it's likely a US $1 component and is probably in the LCD driver section. Perhaps, just perhaps, you could already be able to see it with the naked eye looking for a component that looks "wrong" - a small cylinder that looks bloated, with electrolyte leaking, whitish powder around the base, etc. But you would still need some solder work to get it replaced - and, if it's a SMD component, chances are it can't be done at home.

Sorry for the bad news...

SOURCE: The monitor screen go to black after 5 seconds

Most common failures 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 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.

SOURCE: My monitor turn black. Every time after turning it

The backlights inverter circuits are not working, it can be due to bad DC power supply feeding it, or failing inverter circuits. I would inspect the power supply section first to see if it has any bad caps with bulging/leaking tops first.

If you are going to DIY and already try the monitor with another PC, and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:

Or www.digikey.com just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c, high ripple current, long life rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series.

SOURCE: Hi Support I hope you can

From your description of the problem, I would suggest that the issue is not with the inputs, but with an internal fault. The fact it powers up then cuts off is symptomatic of power capacitors failing, or could be due to a faulty circuit component on the internal board. For reasons of safety, I'd strongly suggest that you take this to a qualified engineer for more accurate analysis and repair, rather than attempting to trace the fault yourself. Check also the main power lead and socket on the monitor and substitute it for a new one to test it.

I'm also assuming you tried this monitor on another computer? A failing graphics card or chip would also give you the problem you describe

SOURCE: i have a asus monitor when i plug it it turn in back off after a second

There is a good chance the power supply board has one or two capacitors that are open,"they often bulge at the top" making it easier to spot, replacement of parts only option.

Problm with viewsonic va712b

sounds like the operating mode is at a frequency or refresh rate that is outside the viewsonic operating specifications when in normal mode. possible solution: in safe mode access control panel, system, devices (hardware) and look for display. do a right click and uninstall. repeat right click and "scan for hardware changes". That might reset the monitor operating modes but it also gives you a chance to reinstall drivers. If this does not work, try other monitor crt/lcd to see what happens.

Monitor displays breifly then goes to blank screen

If tried the monitor on two other computers with the same result -- definitly your monitor is faulty. Take it to the repair shop. To make double sure, run your computer with another monitor. If everything is fine now; you can blame the monitor.

I am trying to connect my laptop to the Polaroid LCD TV, as i would like to use the TV monitor as a computer monitor (my laptop monitor is broken). So I connect the correct wire to correct places, however...

The simple patch that I found (same problem) was to start by using any old monitor that I could borrow to set up my Dell Laptop.
After getting the Laptop booted on a regular monitor I right clicked on the desktop and went to properties then to the settings tab.
Here I found the dual monitor settings (#2 will usually be dis-abled by default.)
Click on #2 monitor and set the resolution to the lowest number (800 x 600 works well)
Then I clicked on "make this monitor my primary monitor"
As soon as I clicked apply the PC Windows screen appeared on the Polaroid TV screen

Earlier I had set the secondary monitor as "extend this screen to this monitor"
This also worked but I had to "drag the current screen to the right all the way off the
"borrowed monitor" until it appeared on the TV screen. The mouse pointer will be there also.
At first it took a little getting used to but in a few minutes I was up and running.
Hope this helps your situation

Viewsonic E53 monitor

Base on the information given to me.

I think your computer is on sleeping mode.

first thing check if the video cable is not loose connecting the pc.

because what would happend, if it is loos it would turn on and off at times.

The other thing you can do.

right click on the desktop.
go to properties
go to screen saver
click on power

adjust the time you want your monitor to shut off.

Faulty monitor

This is most probably cause by one or more Faulty Electrolytic Capacitors, I find these are the MOST commonest form of "Fault" in these LCD's TFT's units. I ususally simply replace "On Spec" all High Value Electros, in fact ALL Electro's are suspect and often I just "Shotgun" and replace 'em all. Usually fixes all problems. Always use High Temperature Caps.
