My X2gen MW19R monitor goes to black while I am working. I have checked the connections and they seem to be tight. What is causing this to happen? When it happens I turn the screen off, then back on to see the information again, only to have it turn to black in anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes.
It is most likley the cfl tubes - and - or - the inverter is bad. This will happen sooner or later with all lcd monitors that do not have the L.E.D. back lights. It is very frustrating and timely to replace the items yourself unles you absolutly know what you are doing. You should replace the inverter board with the tubes - it is recomended. I see this problem all the time. Samsung has the L.E.D. backlight and not cfl. The total cost of the DIY [ do it yourself ] will bee about $9.00 per tube [ most use 2 - some have 4 ] and about $15.00 for the inverter board - again - the inverter board could be higher if it uses 4 tubes and prices do not include a hefty shipping fee. Here is a sample link to read and a DIY document with tube sorce.http://store.lcdparts.net/ . Now the prices at this site are expensive - they also cover LCD cfl BACKLIGHT TV's - you can search the web for the proper tube but again - the tubes are like a shop light floresent tube in a really small package and very - very fragile and eay to break. Here is the site and it will explain more for you and guide you along for a reference.http://store.lcdparts.net/ . Once you have figured out a few things - try buying the items elswere . A standard 14" lcd monitor wit 2 tubes and an inverter will cost you a min. of about $50.00 + or - if you shop around.
Hope this helped you a little and here is the LCD Backlight Link.

X2Gen MW22U monitor starting flickering upon startup a few weeks ago. The flicker would only last for awhile and then it was normal. Then a few days ago the monitor went out completely. Every time I power it up, it either blinks a little, or just gives a static/electrical noise, and then stays blank. I've only gotten it to come on a couple of times and it only lasts for a few minutes.
I saw some posts here about bad capacitors, so I took it apart to see if that was the issue. The capacitors don't appear to have any damage, but I did notice something. There's a set of four wires that connect the two circuit boards (red, orange, white, black) and the red wire is burnt at both ends ... enough that the insulation turned black and the white connector turned brown at that wire.
Any ideas on if this monitor is fixable ... and how?

monitor contrast dropping automatically as the minus button on the monitor seems to be pressed without any physical force being put on the button. I can use the menu buttons and regain the brightness and contrast level. I dont understand why it just keeps "pressing" the minus button
