huntpercell, You won't !! The unit's "switch-mode-power-supply" is in what is known as "SHUTDOWN" mode because it has detected a FAULT with itself or the "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamp's" electronic ballast circuit which is called the INVERTER circuit which changes 12-15volts DC to 800-1200volts AC to light-up it's CCFL's to produce WHITE LIGHT so you can see all the pretty colors on the LCD panel!!! Do this test!! With KNOWN GOOD pc fully booted to WIN-desktop, reconnect l1706 to pc and wall outlet. Then and only then turn on the l1706. Make note of how long it takes to go to BLACK or BLANK screen. After screen shuts down then hold a bright flashlight 1" from the screen at different angles, looking very closely to see if the desktop is still being displayed very faintly even though the screen appears to be BLACK! Tell me what you see or don't see! If you don't see the desktop then SMPS is in total shutdown. If you see the desktop the SMPS is in partial shutdown but is still able to source +5 or +3.3v dc to the VGA/LCD interface board to send information to the LCD panel. You have just performed THE FLASHLIGHT TEST that every owner of a CCFL backlit LCD display should know how to do! Now here are your options as a CONSUMER / USER of a LCD display whoose screen is now dark and lifeless. 1. Trade it in for a NEW one. $$$$ 2. Swap-out unit for manufacturer refurbished unit. Cash +old unit. $$$ 3. Repair/refurb unit locally at TV/monitor shop. $$$ 4. Effect a repair on your own with info acquired via web. $ or poss $$ If 4 is of interest then get back to me. I will tell you of some good sites to visit. If you found this information helpful, please rate this on fixya. I'm louie12fix on fixya or [email protected] Bye.

Right click on the desktop and then click properties

plug it into your laptop and change the settings to the monitor to 800 by 600 pixels, then change the refresh rate to 60 hz or you could change it to 1280 by 1024 pixels and 60hz but it should work with 800 by 600 too, then plug it back into your desktop it should work then

Como puedo quitar el odioso "osd Lockout" de mi monitor HPw1907?

1.- remove 14 screw on back
2.- remove front cover con un desarmador plano pequeño, como si pucharas hacia afuera y luego al frente por toda la orilla.
3.- quitar la base es solo con un simple apreton y click y listo, sale la parte de abajo y luego aprietas la parte de arriba y estiras. y ahi vas a ver unas tuercas te puedes ayudar con una llave española o perica pequeña.
y listo.

Maybe the Power Supply is nackard... That's why it was cheap/thrown out.
Sorry.

rectifier is shot. Take to monitor repair guy. Should be around $50.00.

Insert a small flat tip screwdriver about two inches from the top section of the mount. About an inch from either side is the clips holding it into place, be careful not to break the two in the back. If you lean it back toward the monitor as the front clips are loosened, it should just pop out.

Sounds like you may have bad RAM. Try removing all of the RAM modules on your motherboard and put only one in the first slot. Start the computer and see if it works.

Cycling of the power LED (about once per second) is typical of a switchmode PSU shutting down and trying to restart. Often this is accompanied by a tick each time, from the main switcher transformer.

Assuming you can open the monitor up (with the power OFF of course) check all the capacitors in the PSU for signs of leakage or bulging. Ideally you would check them with an ESR meter, but they are usually visibly failed when the monitor acts like this.

Replace any defective caps found and try it again while you have the case off, keeping your fingers well out of the way.

Try to replace your memory.

First if you have a extra monitor try to plug it in and see if it works. If not then check your video card. or get into the computer and try and remove and reseat the memory. Sometimes by just doing that can solve the problems

Are you sure you do nt have a browser? I find that a little strange since you posted a question to here. You more then likely have a browser if you now what I mean :) Instead of going to fixya, type www.ebay.com at the top of your screen where the FIXYA url is :)

But if this helps you to feel comfortable to know what a web browser here, have a read:

It is most likely a backlight that has burnt out or something else of the sort. You will want to call HP Support and explain to them of your troubles.

Your video cable has a broken pin inside. Check the cable at the videocard end (bend it in different directions) and do the same at the monitor end. It should become normal, then it's just a case of keeping it in the right position or replacing the video cable.

Hope it helps =)
