Hello,

This is a very common problem on this series on monitors. The problem is caused by filter capacitors in the power supply board that have failed. You can rebuild the board and the monitor will be as good as new. Here is a link to repair information for the VA1912wb monitors.

bob_loopeker, If you know that your pc is ok with different monitor then you will need to inspect the power supply board inside your VX922. All you need in the way of info is here on fixya!! All you need to do is read and make decision on what to do. Spend some time reading in my fixya profile or do "ctrl" key and click on "vx922 19" monitor" that is highlighted in light blue text above. May need new capacitors installed on unit's "switch-mode-power-supply" printed circuit board. hopre this helps. 12fixlouie

The flashing green power button is a well known electronic problem with this (and other) Viewsonic LCD monitors. There is YouTube video (do a search) showing how to disassemble the VX924 (very similar to the VX922) and find out whether the problem is related to blown capacitors. When I took my VX922 apart I discovered 6 bad capacitors out of a total of 7 on the power supply circuit board.

If there is a flashing led on front of the monitor, that indicates a fault condition.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the Monitor goes on protection there are only two possible causes.

1 The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or a broken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , starting the flashing light.


If you are in situation one, then the monitor will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours, sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

Common faults that can occurr suddenly are a blown capacitor on power board, the inverter board powering up backlight lamp has blown, or a fault on main lcd controller board.
check also the video cable, if the cable is shorting, or the connector is bad, you can get same flashing state because of the video cable.

Check connectors, try moving the video cable, and if the cable is not built in, then also try a replacement cable.

If under warranty contact Viewsonic to find out a Viewsonic service point.
See:ViewSonic - Support & Service

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

Hi there. It's probably your backlight inverter that has gone bad. What model is it ? The inverter can be on a seperate board, or on the main board on that viewsonic LCD. Is it a VX922 ? Common problem on these..

You may want to tey another computer or another cable or update your video card drivers. Otherwise look very closely and see if you are able to see a very faint image of your background picture or icons if you have any.

Really im not kidding it might be a backlight issue.

Really if this happens then you may want to contact viewsonic to see if it still in warrant. Reminder that most of their monitors have a 3 year warrany from the date of purchase. So make sure that you have your proof of sales/receipt/POP/invoice or what ever you want to call it ready. This model is old so they will ask for it if its a first time repair.

thanks alot mate!

you guys......you don't have a software (driver, refresh rate, etc.) problem. When you first power up the monitor, do you get any display at all (ex, "analog input" or "No input signal")? Of course not - that's because you have a hardware problem with the monitor. Go here and watch the youtube video on how to take apart your monitor and find and replace the "domed" capacitors that have blown:

Fortunately I only had 1 ($1.76 at Radio Shack). I replaced it in less than 30 minutes and my monitor showed "no input signal" upon powerup as expected because I wasn't connected to my pc which is full of all kinds of drivers and refresh settings, etc.
