Got an HP vs17 monitor. It doesn't power on at all - no blue light when the power button is pushed. I opened it up and don't see any obviously bad caps on the power supply. What next? Fuses?

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

Trace voltage in power supply area. it must have output if none, replace voltage regulator and locate diode / resistor change value.

My mother has an HP vs 17x flat screen monitor and has been using it for about 2-3 years now. It was working fine yesterday, but when she tried to go on it this morning the power button on the right side...
The blinking signals that the power source of the monitor is in protected mode because another board has failed in a big way and now it's effectively shorted - this is a hardware failure, not software, so no reset, of any kind , will help.
The only way to fix this monitor is to open it, test the components, locate the failed board and replace it. For that you need at least a basic experience in repairing electronics. If you don't have it you will have to call someone who has it and that will be very expensive - in the end it will be cheaper just to buy a new monitor.

Why does my HP vs17 monitor screen keep going to blank black screen like it turned off but did'nt.....blue power button light is still on? Everything is running but no picture.....keeps happening everytime...
this old monitor has 2 issues.
1: it has CCFL tubes that love to burn out (backlamps)
most this old are long go, yell,dim.,blinking or DEAD.
2: push the menu button on front of mon. turn off power saver.

3: if the PC goes to sleep, or hibernete mode (parked)
then that is 100% normal
if you dont like feature then go to windows control panel
click power, ICON and turn off all monitor sleep /hibernate modes.

that assumes windows, no OS stated.


if the lamps are dead,
use flash light pointed to sceen, see data. ? bingo for bad CCFT tubes.
as seen here

I have a HP vs17 LCD monitor 17" I relaced the screen and don't remember how the wires go to the back lights. They are the pink and blue wires on the side of the power board. Can you help?
Pink and Blue wires should be for the lamp assemblies, you should have four connectors for the lamps, each pair will be plug into the socket top set and bottom set.
See example here:

HP vs17 monitor will go off while in use and the power button flashes blue.
Does it do the same when attached to another PC? Video cable is good?
If it is monitor problem, you will have to open it up, but please read below first.

Try this, no guarantees but it may need to be reset. Make sure PC is turned off. Disconnect the monitor from the PC and unplug it from the wall. Hold in the Power button for at least sixty seconds, then replug it in PC and wall. If it is reset it should start normally. If not it needs further diagnosis.
