Nothing on screen, gren and orange light flashing

Here's some tricks I would try...
1. Verify the monitor's power cord is plugged firmly into the wall outlet and the back of the monitor.
2. Verify the monitor cable is firmly connected to the computer and the monitor.
3. Verify that you have turned the monitor power switch on.
4. If the power light on the monitor is not on, test the wall outlet (plug in a light or something you know works).
5. If the power light on the monitor is not on, try a different power cord.
6. If the power light is on and yellow or orange or flashing, but nothing displays, or the display is incorrect, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor probably needs replaced.
7. Also, you could try your display on a friend's computer. If it doesn't work, your monitor probably needs replaced. If it works properly on your friends computer, the problem may be with your computers video output port, motherboard video chip (or video card, if you have one), or drivers.

Good luck.

try reinstalling the printer driver again

I have repaired several of these Viewsonic VP211b monitors. In every case, the problem was a blown fuse on the inverter board. There are two fuses, F1 and F2. Either one can fail. The fuses are located on either side of the CN1 connector. These fuses are 1.5 mm long, 1.0 mm wide and 0.5 mm high (Case Style 1206). They have the letters FN printed on them. The N is for 2 Amps and the F is for Very Fast Blow.
The fuses were made by LittleFuse. The replacements were purchased from Newark Electronics. Part number 64R8010. This part number is the Fast blow 2.0 Amp (not the Very Fast blow), but they work fine.
Troubleshooting hint:
The screen is illuminated with fluorescent back lights. Those back lights are powered by the inverter. If everything is working except the back lights, you should be able to see a faint image by shining a bright flashlight into the screen.

fiona_sheeha, If ACER warranty service not an option, then unit will need local tech to troubleshoot unit's power supply/inverter circuit for possible COMMON and repairable printed circuit board fix. You must read more of my fixya profile and visit the web links you find there so you will know and understand what ALL your options are!!! Some units require less than $5 in parts to refurbish them to working status. Your "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamp" backlit LCD monitor isn't any different than any other brand of monitor in it's basic operating principles!! I hope this helps. 12fixlouie

I thought my problem was originally monitor related. However since I posted, the picture disappeared altogether, and my PC wouldn't even start to bootup. Fearing my mobo may have died I removed the hardware components, cleaned then re-assembled them. After all that, it turned out that my graphics card has a tendency to become slightly unseated. Once I was aware of this problem booting up resumed normally. It seems that the problem of the fading monitor picture seems to still occur, but soon after I use the machine after 'hibernation' state, and even then it doesn't always occur if I do use hibernation. I haven't used hibernation for a little while and so far the problem has not returned

The power light turning orange means the monitor isn't getting a signal from the computer. Or the monitor has a problem. If the screen shows light in the corners, the inverter is working. (If the inverter stops there is no light at all.)

The first thing to try is connecting another monitor to make sure your computer is actually starting up. If that monitor also shows nothing, you have a computer issue to take care of. Otherwise the monitor needs service.

Try uninstalling SP3 you will have to hook up to another monitor first. Go to control panel and click on Add and Remove Icon Go down until you see SP3 click on the remove tab. Once it is removed turn off your laptop remove the other monitor and restart you should be fine. You can also call 1-800-642-7676 for help as well

sell it.. the product and sevice from viewsonic in my opinon sucks nothing but problems tv less then a year old want to ship it back and forth to fix it piece of s**t
