Question about HP Pavilion VF51 15 in. Flat Panel LCD Monitor

Hp pavilion vf51

I have a problem with a 15" flat screen vf51. There is power, the green light comes on and a message 'signal out of range'. Then power light goes orange. I can just see a faintmessage box but cant read it. This is my mums, I took it to get it fixed for her. I need to know what is wrong with it so I dont get overcharged. Can anyone help please. How much should I expect to spend? If it is the lamp or bulb? If it is Inverter circuit? If it is a video circuit?

It is the inverter board that is causing the screen to be feint. But is was the video resoloution being set too high that made it give the "out of range" message.
It's not easy to get anywhere to repair LCD monitors, and the prices could be well out of scope to bother with the repair.
Having said that, you can now call a few TV repair centres close to you and ask for a quote based on repairing the inverter circuit.
Hope that helps =)

Screen goes blank and message comes up saying "input signal out of range"

When does the screen go blank? Also what do you have plugged into it this most likely just because your input signal may be set at to high a resolution or frequency. Once I have more information I can assist you further.
Thanks,

Ac power cord for HP vf51 flat panel monitor

Good Day Tricia,

I had to pull up you owner's manual to get the spec's on your cord, so if you need the manual follow this link:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bph08231.pdf

Anyway after reading the spec's you need an AC-DC power supply that outputs 12volts at 3.3amps. What makes this difficult to find is the 3.3amps, most aftermarket power supply only go up to 2amps. So what's next? Well you can order directly through HP at this link:

http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main?sel_flg=partlist&model=P4824A&HP_model=&modname=HP+vf51+15-inch+LCD+flat+panel+display&template=main&plist_sval=Power+Cord&plist_styp=subcat&dealer_id=&callingsite=&strsrch=&keysel=Power+Cord&catsel=%3F
If you do this make sure get part 8121-0740 if you live in the states, or part 8121-0731 if you live in europe.

The only other suggestion I can give is to bring the monitor into a radioshack and see if they have a 12VDC 3.3AMP (you can get a universal with higher amperage if needed, the monitor will only draw the 3.3 it needs even if it is supplied more) and the reason I say bring it in is so they can match the size of the plug that goes into the monitor, as there are about 20 diffrent diameters's. Again the problem you may have is finding one with a high enouge amperage.

I hope this helps

Good Luck

Screen says attention no signal

Your TV is probably on the PC mode and you are not using it as a PC monitor.

You need to change the source by pressing the TV/Video button on the remote control or the SOURCE button on the TV itself. You may also just press the channel up or down buttons. Do this before the TV goes to standby mode (amber light) or while it shows the message: ATTENTION NO SIGNAL.

If it does not work, reboot the TV first and do this again.

Cornea 15" monitor

If possible, try a new video cable. If it does not correct itself with a new cable, the problem is not serviceable. Flat screens do one of three things: inverter will go out (no light), line input board signal failure and power supply low volts on 12v B+.
