Acer AL1715 (Black, Silver) 17" LCD Monitor - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Ghosting
I know exactly what your talking about. I've seen in many times. It' happens too in CRT monitors as well as LCD. It could ALTHOUGH be as simple as a bad cable catching interference. Most likely though, it sounds like a bad LCD driver board or video board. If you have warranty, call it in. Otherwise see if it lessens with adjustments of contrast and brightness up and down. This directly affect the driver board power and can improve it enough to be tolerable again.

Red Vertical lines on 15" Acer LCD Monitor
I think this is most likely a monitor problem. Can you try a different monitor of computer to the monitor? That would help pinpoint the problem. Is it under warranty?

I have a fixed image
Well, it certainly is related. This is OSD (On Screen Display) for adjustment, activated by those pushbuttons.
Did you try to completely unplug the power cable from the monitor for a minute and then reattaching it?
One of those pushbuttons may have got stuck in a depressed position, check if all of them click properly when pressed; sweet drinks spilled and dried off can make a button stick, and sometimes the plastic itself may develop enough friction for a button to stay in a depressed position.
If all the buttons work freely, the monitor may need professional servicing.

Windows logon screen flashes for 6 minutes
After the 6 minutes, what happens? Does Windows finally load? Does it power OFF?
Let's assume Windows eventually does load. The problem wouldn't be the monitor, instead look at your boot devices. You "could" have a USB Flash drive installed on your computer and that may affect the boot process. Try removing any external USB drives from your computer and try booting again. If it does load quicker, you have to check the internal configuration / setup screens on your computer. There is a boot sequence or boot order sequence that needs to be altered.

I am unable to turn
If none of the button are working then it could mean that one of the buttons is stuck or there is an issue with the board on the monitor itself.
Unplug the monitor from power and the computer. Make sure none of the buttons are stuck down, plug only power back in to the monitor and see what it shows. Plug it back into the computer and check to see if the problem returns

When I start up my
Look for bad caps, repalce them in a set.

If you are going to DIY and already try the monitor with another PC, and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed ACER monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/

Acer moniter working but its black screen if we
The
dark screen with faint, hard to see display is due to the failure of
CCFL
(Cold Cathode Florecent Lamp), which is the back light or the Inverter
board, which provides high voltage to the CCFL. So, it is recommended
that you get it properly checked by any professional for replacement of
CCFL.
Also, refer here to my earlier solution to a similar problem, which was rated as very helpful
GoodLuck!
Dont forget to appreciate the solution if I could have been of any help!

MONITOR SCREEN SUDDENLY WENT OFF
It sounds like the lcd screen module itself has a problem and the only way to fix it is to replace the screen. Not usually worth fixing since replacing the part usually cost more than buying a new monitor. Sorry.
