Acer monitor al1917w-a problems

If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years.

To me this sounds like whats called "bad caps" problem. The capacitors in the PSU have gone out of tolerance and the back light is switching off. If this is the case you will need a workshop repair or if you know how to solder you could replace the capacitors in the PSU for the back light.

You might have it connected using the wrong port on the back of your computer. The monitor will display the BIOS and post messages but once it gets to windows it will turn off. The other possibility is you need to either reload the driver for your video card, change the default display device in the bios, or replace your video card.

ACER AL1917W is a fine monitor but it doesnt have Web Cam.
You can buy a Web Cam separately and connect it to your computer.

remove power to your monitor; then remove the monitor's back cover and, front cover;
when you can see the circuit board check for a buldged can capacitor or, two; replace these by unslodering them and, resoldering the new ones in place digikey.com sells the capacitors (don't forget the position of the capicitors they go in only one way

Replace your monitor power cord

aburnsrn, Cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps don't light-up, you will be looking at black screen!! If unit older than 5-6 years trade for new wide-screen. Else read for about 2 hrs. in my fixya profile for more options.
