Sounds like the inverter circuit for the backlight is going bad,most likely culprit is bad capacitors located on the power supply module.Look for bulging tops on any of the caps or ones that look like they are going to explode.Change them with a cap of the same value,microfarads and voltage,you can order caps on the internet for pretty cheap,less than a dollar a piece,you will have at least 4 that will have to be changed under normal situations.if you cant solder or dont want to you will have to get it serviced b y someone qualified.Hope this helps,good Luck

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

Yes, it is telling you that it is not getting the video signal from you PC. Try another monitor with this PC since the VA903 works fine with another PC. The video cable is seated properly?

The "no signal" message is telling you there is no output from the computer. The output signal switches on the monitor, so if not there, check your cables and connections. If you have another monitor, try connecting it instead, and see if it works.This is an unusual problem, so keep trying. Connect the monitor to another computer, such as a laptop, and see if it works. If the monitor on another computer works, obviously it the first computer. If the first computer works with the second monitor, it's the first monitor.

More likely to be bad capacitors (bulging/leaking) in the power supply/inverter board just like these Viewsonic here: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Please post back what you find so we can guide you furher and will also help other poeple.

your monitor is burning out. if you just bought it, check the warranty.

yes u can dowanload right driver from viewsonic support site . or there
http://www.viewsonic.com/support/downloads/drivers/_download/Standard_Monitor_Driver_Signed_Vista_x64.zip

It is likely the video card on the actual unit. If it is under warranty they will likely have you ship it back to them for either 1) repair or 2)replacement

Hi...there,
Well, it's seems you got a busted backlight inverter. If you still under warranty send it back for replacement of a new inverter.
Happy Holidays!

Hi..there,

I had the same problem.

Just fixed it.

Check the cable on the back of the monitor.
Make sure it is plugged in properly.

Wiggle it a bit, and the ghosting dissappears.

Don't tighten the cable to the PC too much.

Question edited for clarity Videos for ViewSonic monitors, various models. There are notches along the edge and you use a Spudger Tool. https://www.google.com/search?q=ViewSonic+VA2431WM+open+case ..
