Princeton Digital VL2018W Monitor Logo
Posted on May 16, 2008

Prinston VL2018W Nothen but White light, when signal is present.

When any computer signial is present the monitor goes White, Farley Bright. There are no Graphics or words present, only white light. Does anyone have this same problem ? Or can anyone tell me how it could be fixed ? I have only had it for only 5 months and it did this. Princeton was no help. They said it is no longer supported.
Thanks

    I got this monitor at geeks.com, Only had a 90 day warrenty

    First I called Prinston, they said, they dont support that monitor anymore. They also said there was nothing they could do.

    I then called geeks to see what they could do. They also said there is nothing they could do. I guess Im out. I wont but from geeks anymore,and I also wont buy prinston prod. anymore.

    Did you take it back from where you got it? Those monitors are warrantied for a year. Princetongraphics.com is the place where i got a support number and called them and complained. They will make a RMA number for it and replace it for you.



    You might want to try again. Thanks

* Make sure the cable is connected properly.

* I've you have mutiple interfaces like HDMI & VGA, try switching between these until you get a signal :D

My princeton VL2018W will flash the screen when first powered on but goes blank after. With repeated unpluging, the display used to stay, but no luck

99% will be bad caps in the power supply section. Take the back off and look for caps with bulging top, replace them with good quality caps such as PANASONIC FM or FC series from DIGIKEY.

My princeton VL2018W will flash the screen when first powered on but goes blank after. With repeated unpluging, the display used to stay, but no luck.

The power board probably needs an overhaul. Capacitors are probably the cause. It would have to be opened up to check that.
I repair many monitors through ebay and it is common on a lot of monitors.
If you take it apart and send me a picture to [email protected], I may be able to see the problem.

Vl2018W princeton monitor

Hello,

If the caps you took out are rated at 50v it is best to use that rating, lower value caps can short out and cause additional problems. Also a white screen means 1 of 2 things, either the power supply is still not putting out the right voltage or yo have a small fuse blown on the lcd panel. The most likely cause is the power supply is still not right. If you can take a few pictures of your power supply board and send them to me at [email protected] I will see if I can cross reference the board with something and try to help you out.
