Please verify that you do have 14vdc coming out of the AC adapter, the problem can also be at the DC input jack due to crack solder joints. If you do get the power light on the monitor to come on but the screen is black, then the problem can be in the inverter board. http://www.lcdrepair.us/1702inverter1900.html

Hello,

This model has a know problem with parts called capacitors shorting out and causing the flashing that you have. If you can solder then you should be able to do the repair yourself. If you go to our web site at:
www.ccl-la.com and click on the monitor repair section I will post a step by step guide to the repair for you. You will need to replace 2 capacitors and yo should be back running again. Check after 12/09/09 at 2:00pm and the guide should be posted.

I hope this helps, f so please rate our solution.

Check and make sure your connections on the back of the PC are snug...and make sure you have a good connection at the back of the monitor.
Flashing light...is loss of signal.
Good Luck,
Mike

New monitor? Does old monitor still work? Did the monitor ever work? did the computer ever work? is power light on computer on? is power light on monitor still on?

Try to use another power cable, or another power socket . If won't on, maybe you have problem with the monitor. Have you pressed the power switch?

You need to remove the standard windows monitor driver in the device manager and reinstall the monitor driver. Search in google and download the driver and install it. Good hunting.

Yes, you can use the 'Generic' option in Windows, assuming you are using Windows Bruno

This is a problem that takes a skilled technician to repair both monitors and PSU's are not to be tampered with by the untrained. It may be possible to replace the screen and there are many places to be found that will provide this service but the cost of the repair might be prohibitive.This link will show you a video if you feel up to the jobhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q6_TgNJvQwA monitor may have an electrical charge still in its capacitors so make sure you are properly earthed and all power plugs are removed. A second hand replacement might be a safer option.
