Disconnect everything from the monitor including power. wait a minute. Connect only the power. If it still does not power up the monitor power supply is dead.
Not much to do but replace the monitor.
That is a very common symptom of a failure in the power supply board. This model uses the same power supply board that the VA1930 model uses. Here is a link to repair information that shows what capacitors to replace on the power board to repair it.http://www.ccl-la.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_34&products_id=168I hope this helps,BuddyMc
Check DC filter caps for leaking/bulging top in the power supply. Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, 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/home/budm/allalbums Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague http://www.badcaps.net
FIRST WE DO NORMAL AND LATER TRUE CAUSE.
gee that is normal on all monitors and by Energy Star laws too.
the monitor if the PC is dead or in speed mode, shuts of in 15 to 90 seconds, all do, every one. the monitor has self sleep, all do. everyone ever made did. even back to CRT days.
and the OSD button goes dead after. that. too. fooling the untrained.
here is the first tests, NO PC connected at all
power on see power light glow correct color
then see Viewsonic splash screen push the menu button now. quickly, if button dead hold it for 10 to 15 second to reverse the button lock now, see OSD works.
if you test the monitor on a good PC not in sleep mode the but working PC, your monitor is ok.
this monitor is very very old, 2004?
it has CCFL back lamps not LED<
and all fully used CCFL lamps are now no good, used 8yrs a day at 5years are no good. that is why we use LED back lamps now.
this is what they do: all do , used fully.
1: goEs dead forever, (vast did)
2: INTERMITTANT . (BINGO YOU ) OR INVERTER DEAD.
3: DIM BULBS (like me. lol)
4 TURN YELLOW FOR WHITE screens.
5: STROBEs. (FLASHes)
AND A VERY EXPENSIVE SURE, THAT. AND LABOR.
Hello Edelberto, this monitor does not disarm by the back to disarm the monitor, you have to remove, with great care, the front frame and there you will see the obstacles you have to remove the panel assembly and the platelets
I hope you can disarm it, comment the results
Greetings Franco Dosil
Hola Edelberto,este monitor no de desarma por la parte posterior para desarmar el monitor, tienes que retirar, con mucho cuidado, el marco frontal y ahi veras las trabas que tiene para sacar el conjunto del panel y las plaquetas
Espero que puedas desarmarlo, comenta los resultados
Saludos Franco Dosil

so you want to open the va1928 case.did you take off the stand and full remove the stand mount first.and see screws hidden there, did you remove all screws on the back first? the mount is steel and has 4 screws , off those first.the book is free to read, users guidepage 10, says wall mountthis 1 page shows,1: remove the snap off lastic panel first. that normally hide cables on rear, or just hides the steel mount.and the magic 4 screws on it. then pry it.steps 1 to 4, page 10https://www.manualslib.com/manual/266493/Viewsonic-Va1926w.html?page=10#manualthen remove all other screws you see and it comes apart.this is close, nice clear english too. refreshing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJuMdIUQ_k8 the pr ytools are; in order of best to worst are.1: using std, cell phone pry tools.2: using a Guitar pick,3: wreck your CC , us an old useless credit card.4: now use screwdriver an mangle the edges for "art"5: claw hammer it? or a finely sharpened crow bar?
The problem is seems to be in power supply section. it may be need to repair by electronic technician, after using any monitor 5 to10 years there may be power section or lcd panel may be damage.
no , leave it alone if a monitor runs perfectly do not mess with that.
but yes, only Viewsonic.com can help, only them. they made it
we make nothing at all here,.
no PC stated. no OS stated, so... weak answers... next.actually only old windows did that! once it needs to do that, that means the HDD shows errors. they are not ever supposed to show errorsand in fact self repair them selves (2001 to now HDD)what I do is shut the PC off.them test the hDD as remote disk and run smart testsor boot the same PC with say linux demo disk (or usb stick)and RUN SMART test.if the fail the HDD is no good. hopeless cases.the next actions is backup data.the PC you have running silly old chkdskwill actually damage more data doing that,that is why w10 does not do that, it just tells you smart fails on HDD0 or the like.Just 2 steps of you have the linux media pre made.as all techs do.no PC stated and viewsonic is not a PC.boot to linux, click try me, then run disktestif it fails smart tests the hdd is bad.http://pcdied.com/linux.html
First, I'm not a Viewsonic representative.
* Check your warranty. call for support.
*** Following for information only.***
* No signal means no usable signal for a specific input on the TV or monitor.
* If it's just a monitor and not a multi-function TV that also has a Computer to video input then you need to check the device that's hooked up to the monitor as single function monitor's usually only have one input.
* If this is a TV then you need to go to the TV menu and check the "Input Source" to make sure it's on the input plug your using. (I'm using HDMi-2 on my laptop to TV)
* If it's not on the correct input then there will be a different signal (DVD, VCR, etc.) or none at all (No Signal) if those units are turned off.
* Unplug all devices (to reset) and count to 10. Power up and perform set up to your existing configuration.
* Note; as of Jan 2018 most cable TV are not broadcasting in analog (chan 3) and must use a digital tuner to get signal. Some cable Co. provide converters (for a fee?)
* Check with your service provider for more information.

PS, If you do have a damaged input (or feed) then check your video device for alternative outputs; IE: RCA Vid-Right-Left audio, HDMI, Split video (Y-G-B), VGA, S-plug, etc.
VW? what is this VW? prefix? VX or VG is common,Im guessing VXthe manual has no word "dual" in it,so that is perplexing.are you attempting dual displays on 1 PC, (unstated PC)yes, /nothe VX has 3 inputs ports, dvi, vga and HDMIi guess the VGA port fails.why not use VGA to DVI adapter, even as a test. dirt cheap too.why not test any monitor on 2 PC'S Not just 1.then you learn if the monitor is good or bad, in one simple step.?why ask this? you told me HDMI works so why not use HDMI.or does the VGA port must work for other computers, we dont know how any one uses monitors, the possibles are endless.even as service monitor, ok?if the VGA fails on 2 PCs, (it spec resolution) the port is bad.RGB, did you reset the monitor first, do the OSD reset stated in the manual. sure worth a shot that....called RECALL in the manual please read the manual. page 15.page 12Color Adjust provides several color adjustment modes, including preset colortemperatures and a User Color mode which allows independent adjustment ofred (R), green (G), and blue (B). The factory setting for this product is 6500K(6500 Kelvin). make sure not fiddled wrong?
that means just what it tells you
the PC is dead, PC video dead or video cable unplugged , dog chewed it , pins bent or plugged in wrong on 1 or both ends.
or monitor not selected to the correct input port (OSD)
PC power lamp glowing not amber or blinkikng
PC fans spin , PSU fan and CPU both
if PC has GPU card in PCI-express slot it must be use those ports only for video.
PC not beeping
PC not texting errors post.
PC not blinking codes on LED or caps lock or POST ERRORS !
NO PC told
PC dead.
PC not stuck in sleep mode , hold PC power button for 10 full seconds to end it, (cold boot that is)
test monitor on end good PC? yet?
