Samsung Syncmaster 205bw does not power up. Power button light comes on and cannot turn it off by pushing it.

You should use the search remote code feature:

1. Hold the device button you want to program for 3 seconds & release.
2. Push & release the power button & the red light will remain lit.
3. Push the CHANNEL UP button over & over slowly until the device turns off.
4. When device turns off press OK button.

Hopefully that works for you.

Hello,

The red or pink tint indicates that the back light florescent bulbs are failing. These bulbs are just like the bulbs in home and office lamps just much much smaller. When the reach the end of life the light output turns from pure white to red because the bulbs are not fully turning on. Check the manufacturer date on the back of the monitor, if its less than 3 years then the monitor is still under warranty. If its older than 3 years then its time to get a new monitor because your is about to fail.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.
