Hi!! I have a Samsung syncmaster 2493HM. The problem is that when I turn on the computer the screener doesn't work. (no blue light on bottom). But if I put something hot to heat the screener then the blue light starts blinking fast and after a while (keeping the heater source) it starts working. whats happening what should i do?

Go to system preferences > displays, then there's an option to rotate the display. You'll also need the corresponding cable to connect it. Enjoy the mac!

try to check your power cable if it is plug in.

Hello,


Your power supply board is failing and when you wiggle the cord it is turning it on and off until it finally starts up. There are parts called capacitors that start failing and it will cause intermittent power issues such as slow to show picture, flashing power button, wavy or flashing picture. The board can be repaired and the monitor will be as good as new. Here is a picture of the power supply with the parts circled that need to be replaced.


There is a step by step repair guide for the Samsung 2493HM unit here:

Power off the computer leave the monitor on then go to the computer power button once computer is off and unplug the cord press and hold the power cord down for 5 seconds you should see a blink of light then plug the computer back in and reboot the machine. If this does not work get another monitor to check the video card borrow one to see if it works with a mock monitor if that does not work then it is your video card that is the issue and not the monitor. Change out the video card. if the mock monitor works fine then your original monitor is broken and will need to be replaced.

I had the same problem, i took out the power cord and after 3 days i put it back. after that the monitor was working normal again

Look at the power supply first, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

Hi,
Probably there are another available solutions but I think you should respect the monitor native maximun recomended resolution taking into consideration to change (if it is posible) between 16 or 32 bit of deep.
I have the same monitor as you have.
Hope, temporaly it help.
