Question about AMD eMachines Desktop System w/ 17'' CRT Display, 2.0 GHz Athlon 64 3000+ (W3400)

3 Answers

Dark screen A few days ago for no apparent reason my monitor's screen went very dark and hasn't gone back to it's original appearance. I use a screensaver so I do not think it is burn-in. Howeber I have tried to degauss it many times and it still has not gone back to normal. This dark screen is very irritating and makes it difficult to view pictures and text. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    My screen went dark as well. If I shine a light on it I can make out the icons and the computer itself is working but apparently a bulb or something is gone or can it be something else?

Sounds to me like a messed up video card. Like stated above, try taking it out and putting it back in. It may be loose. Or if that doesn't help try another PCI slot (looks just like the one the card was settled in). It could be a bad PCI slot. Other than this you may have to replace the video card (go to the local Best Buy for this)

In case you have a PCI display card (not built-in the motherboard),take it out from its connector and then place it back (maybe you have a bad conntact). Be aware you should do it while your PC is disconnected from the main PC power (main power cabel)!!!!

Dark Screen on Acer Aspire 5735z
That sounds like the bulb in the screen is blown. I have changed them at times but it is very tricky and I'm pretty sure you won't find a reputable place to do it for you.
Effectively in answer to your question the only rational solution is to change the LCD panel, it's not very difficult to do on the aspires, just a few screws and peel off the tape holding the screen connector in place, disconnect the inverter cables, (pink and white) and swop for the new panel. check ebay etc for a new LCD panel they're not that expensive. Try to get a new one instead of a second hand one. to find out what panel you need, you'll have to open the screen and look at the back, it'll have a paper sticker showing the model number.

The monitor powers up and the ACER screen appears, After a few seconds the screen goes dark and the a NO SIGNAL script appears. After a few more seconds the screen goes dark again and stays dark.
The power supply caps need replace on power supply, or replace power supply.

Dropping you phone every now and then is very detrimental to your phone. What you are currently experiencing is a flex problem since you are using a flip up phone. You have to take the phone to a technician to refix the fllex for you.

The backlight or inverter is going out on your screen.
Eventually it will just stay dark. You will need to replace one of the two if plan on keeping monitor.

Engine skipping/misfiring, engine light flashing
Drive it into a dark place, or wait till dark. When it's running poorly, see if you can see any spark flying around. It sounds like plug wires.

Acer Travelmate LCD screen went dark
The same thing happened on my HP. I ended up buying a LCD screen off ebay. That corrected the problem. New screens cost $150+. You can get one off ebay for half the price.

Monitor Barely readable and dark but display is correct
We have about 20 of these at work. Four of them went dark, to varying degrees, in the two years they were covered by warrantee, and were sent back to the factory for repairs. Since then, eleven more have gone dark. I finally got around to looking at them a few days ago. I have repaired five so far, and in every case it has been the same cause.
The capacitors on the inverter board are burning out. There are two 470uF, two 1500uF and a 1000uF that are not holding up.
Costs about 4 bucks for replacement parts at digikey; qtys and Part numbers are:
2 PN #493-1561-ND
1 PN #565-1664-ND
2 PN #P13124-ND
It takes about an hour, and minimal skill with a soldering iron to fix.
