SOURCE: green light continously blinking in samsung sync master 753s

1. cpu problem. why because of there is no signal output from cpu to monitor. the led blinking means there is no vertical, horizontal signals from cpu to monitor.

2. your monitor connected to another system.

3. neck board dry points.

4. cheak the display cable. 13&14 pins are horizontal, vertical signals.1, 2, 3 pins , R G B , 6 ,7, 8 pins R G B ground ( coaxiler cable used , meshed wire is ground )

SOURCE: Samsung 172N 17" LCD monitor blacks out seconds at a time with increasing frequency and eventually displays scrambled graphics until system restart.

The problem I have is that when we connect the screen it wiorks fine then blacks out after 5-40min
It then flickers on and off iregularly and every now and then shows distortion and eventually just blacks out

I have two 172N monitors and both now show the same symptoms

We have used different VGA cables and different computers in different locations all with the same result

There is no external influence that we know

SOURCE: i have a samsung 17''

The message says that the monitor doesn't receives signal - which is normal. Since the problem appears only after you plug in the cable in means that the problem is located there - something is wrong with your pc, most likely the video card has died.

My Samsung Syncmaster 2220wm keeps giving me issues. Although most of them I solved, my monitor keeps auto adjusting when I click the power button, then not turning off. Also, it takes multiple times for...

richathanu, You could call Samsung and find out if unit is covered by warranty!!! If not, then you will need to DIY investigate the units internal "switch-mode-power-supply / CCFL inverter supply". Come back here if you need additional help to troubleshoot your 2220wm unit's power supply. Some can be refurbished for $4 to $7 investment in new electrolytic filter capacitors. Some units CAN'T!!! 12fixlouie

My Samsung syncmaster 2220WM will not stay on. It

Hello,

The picture board on your monitor has been malfunctioning for quite the period but you did not notice it, since the screen goes blank, it means the picture board of your monitor has developed fault and will need to be replaced.

The best thing for you to do now is to take the monitor to a local repairer within your vicinity to help with the replacement of the picture board because the fault is not something you can fix yourself, in order not to complicate issues.

Take care.

The Samsung Syncmaster 2220WM I have started to

blueangel617, If unit covered by warranty, use it first! It's free! Your next option is a possible ??? cash+dead unit swap-out for a same model refurbished unit from Samsung, if they have a program like that??? It depends on the AGE of unit! If you are not planning on doing DIY repair to your unit, or contracting out the work to local technician your next option for you as a consumer/user will possibly be trade-in for new! But, if you buy a new unit, the sales guy might drop the 2220WM on the computer tech's bench in the back room and say to the technician "here's another one to look at! See if you can do anything with it." Well, with a little bit of luck, (50/50 chance) the tech will open and inspect your unit and evaluate the condition of unit's "switch-mode-power-supply" and "CCFL inverter supply" make a decision to repair or not to repair. If the tech see's the "classic" common LCD problem, he just might invest less than $10 in parts and end up with a working 2220WM to give to his kid to use for another 1 to 3 years. Blueangel617, you and only you will determine what to do about your "black" or "black and blank" screen CCFL back-lit LCD monitor. I just hope I haven't confused you as to what to do!!! If you can access my fixya profile and those of other lcd monitor fixya tech's and do some reading, you might find out more options that will be a better solution for your 2220WM. Good luck and best wishes. 12fixlouie north of Windy City.
