If you find this helpful please rate so.

Thanks

i think your monitor is going to expired soon , i u have valid warranty then try to contact service center if not then buy a new one LED monitor is best than LCD and LED has more life expectancy and woks very well so bye t.c

On some monitors you have to select the source your wish to view via the monitors menu. Good luck

how to on display

depends on the connections on the monitor/tv. you can get conversion cables like hdmi to usb for example.

check the lead from the monitor to the connection on your computer

try another monitor on your system if you can barrow one somewhere to eliminate that it may be the computer... if it is the screen check the warranty on it at the view sonic web site... also check the cable from the comp to the screen to see if it is lose. try another cable or if it has hdmi dsub or dvi try those types as well. it may have a lose connector on the one your using...

Hi There and Welcome to Fixya.

Horizontal or vertical lines flashing/running across the screen poses serious display issues with any LCD/CRT monitors. It only boils down to 2 possible causes :

• Corrupted video driver
• Hardware issue

To help you determine which of the above, here's what you need to do.

• Ensure that the computer is turned OFF
• Disconnect ALL USB devices except the keyboard
• Turn the computer on and immediately hit "DEL" (in some systems, it's the "F2") key repeatedly until you reach a different screen. (not the usual Windows screen)
  
• Welcome to the BIOS screen
• From here, spend 30min to 1 hour observing if the lines are present in this mode

If you still see the horizontal lines, then there's a need for the monitor to be serviced by a certified/trained technician. The link below will direct you to their support page for repair/replacement options, depending on your warranty status :

ViewSonic Support

Otherwise, the problem can be resolved by re-installing the operating system.

I hope this helps, Thanks for using Fixya.

Hi. The only information that could be of any help to you is as follows..

The answer to question 2 is No. The crack will have no effect on other components. Hope this is of some use to you.

Hi, Here is what I was able to find out about your monitor from ViewSonic. There is no manual available on their website.
I have two ViewSonic monitors that are very similar to the one you have.
Here is what I can tell you. The monitor, although it does not seem like it can, be tilted front to back.
If you grip the monitor screen on the side edges (left and right) and 1/3rd the way up and twist it either away or toward you, it should tilt. It is a little stiff, just go ahead and tilt it. As far as adjusting the high. That, I'm sorry to say cannot be done.
I hope this helps you.
Best Regards,
Mark

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 VIEWSONIC monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/ Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

Learn about bad caps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

Capacitors kit: http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/ he can make you a set of caps for you.

Or www.digikey.com just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c, high ripple current, long life rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series.Please leave rating if it helps.

Use the Stereo mini audio line in cable to connect it from the computers audio output - colored usually light green.

More likely to have bad DC filter caps with leaking/bulging tops just like the failed VIEWSONIC as shown in my albums.

Look for bad caps first.

It does that with other PC as well?
It can be blown fuse on the inverter board due to shorted circuits.

Hello,

These are typical symptoms of a failure in the power supply board. If you can solder then you can do the repair yourself. We carry a kit with the parts that need to be replaced. You can get additional information about this kit at: http://www.ccl-la.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_34&products_id=90 If you don't want to do the repair yourself we do offer a repair service for this unit, it runs $30 plus return shipping.

Unfortunately, the viewsonic monitors don't have the most durable electronics on the market, from what I have heard from some sales people at computer stores.

If you have a steady signal from the computer, and the computer isn't sleeping or hibernating, then there's something wrong with either the cable or the monitor.

Good luck on this one.

It's a connection somewhere. It could be the cable, monitor, or video card. If you have an alternate input on the monitor try that with a different cable. If you have another output on the video card try that. Just mix things up as much as possible.

Odds are there are some smashed pins.

vertical bars in video can be caused of poor filtering of voltage on the power supply,you need to open the back of the tv to repair the power supply.replace all bulging capacitor this causes the problem.Tnx

hope this help.

please rate my help.
