Top 20 AOpen F2705 17" LCD Monitor Questions & Answers

go to control panel ,display, monitor , move the slide for pixels , apply and ok if you want bigger , there is a tick box as well 100%,150% adjust that as well

driver not usually required; what model? You wont get a response without a model number, this is your 2nd post

NO SUCH THING, AT ALL. AND AOPEN HAS ZERO SUPPORT. the pc not told, at all and its OS not told at all. uses its GPU chip /card and its correct driver and this real; driver (AMD or Nvidia) first scans he video port pins called ddc or edid and does PnP plug and play scan and sees the monitors spec, there and set the GPU card to resolution call native resolution or max, for you screen and you can change that any time you want under MAX. NO PC told why no OS told why. is the pc 20 years old and runs XP, IDK i do not know and matters huge. the monitor is square and VGA only max RESO is 1280 x 1024 do not go above that or monitor goes dead. 2006 made, a relic and most are dead now CCFL dead for sure. it has zero value, with nasty old CCFL there ,it can die in 1hour. or is now, and you want a driver that does not exist/.

that is a monitor not a PC, no Aopen PC told you need driver for the PC GPU chip and then like magic the monitor works. but Aopen PC ended all support 2011 seen proof here, and cry https://web.archive.org/web/20111001000000*/aopen.com that monitor works on any VGA ported PC at max 1280 x 1024 @60Hz resolution but not above ever.

in English please?

The problem is in the power supply board, one or two capacitors become open and sometimes leave a slight puff on the top killing power to the monitor.

Might not getting any signal from the source ,you will have to try your cpu else where with same vga cable to figure out whether its your monitor or your cpu tower.

You can download the manual from here:

Hope that helps.

A number of things can cause "No Signal" on a monitor

1) Check the cable between the monitor and PC is properly connected
2) If the PC has more than one display port try changing the display port the monitor is plugged into
3) Try an alternative cable between the monitor and the PC
4) Check that the correct input is selected on the monitor

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, 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 monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Yes your monitor will work with windows 7 it has a generic driver for monitors installed into the system.

If your monitor has a driver cd for it, for more cababilities found on the monitor you may have to visit there web site for updates. Other than that your monitor should work fine with no problems.

I would say that the computer is trying to use a display resolution that the monitor is incapable of displaying. You may have to lower the resolution from the PC before you get a picture. Make sure you install the correct drivers for the monitor onto the new computer and use a different monitor to adjust the display resolution to a level that the monitor is capable of displaying.

yes there is. maybe blowned. test if it have continuity, if bad, change it. if its still the same your problem its other.

You will nee to find out the frequency range of your flatscreen whick should be in the book that came with it. Also, try pressing f8 and see if u can see the menu that comes up, if u can see it then select safemode and see if it will boot like that. If so, install the correct driver for the flatscreen.
your drivers are at this link.

May i know, is it a crt monitor or lcd monitor? If it is a crt monitor, then you can try to check the dry joint on te pcb board especially primary and secondary power supply. After that check the FBT with blue ring tester & cap meter to check their HV cap value.

If it is a LCD Monitor, please check on inverter board and the ccfl lamp too. Please check all the electrolytic cap on lcd monitor pcb board for low esr ohm with blue esr meter. Below is some usefull link for repair lcd monitor and crt monitor:

Hope this help.

To your success,

bad lamps you may check your monitor ccfl maybe or the inverter.

buy dead? or lost the PC power pack in a move? so PC never ran for you before lost power pack? history ? many power packs marked universal are junk, totally for many reasons. (watts too low, wrong voltage and worse pin out wrong.) a very old core 2 PC. Intel GM45 chip set ich9m ,circa 2009. the power pack by them is here from your manual. "90W (20Vdc, 4.5A) AC TO DC POWER PACK Adapter AC 100 ~ 240V" input) below 90watts is NO GOOD AT ALL, no pack told by you.

welcome to the www, where answers are www told parts not sold buy the oem, are sold used on the web. using 3 ways. 1:ebay 2: amazon 3; or google planet earth for it. there is no other way there are 3 cures here. 1: find the rare board on earth. 2: upgrade it to better newer board. that is supported, asus is best. 3: fix your gee no symptoms told, and the coin cell is dead.4: 4: buy a newer PC not this junk. or DYI PC ASK ! your relic is too old to expend real cash on it ever. 2001 TECHNOLOGY, 21 YEARS OLD.
