Monitors goes black - Hyundai Q17

Yopu can adjust the brightness of the monitor from the avaialbe panel buttons Alternatively you can do so from the Operating Sytem brightness control which depends on the platform you are using. If its windows you can navigate to control panel and the power settings and adjust the brightness by sliding the slide bar as desired.

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, 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 monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

bwpvemail, The units "switch-mode-power-supply" may be in shutdown mode. A tech will need to evaluate. Check to see if Hyundai has a refurbished swapout+cash program?? It's that or trade in for new wide screen, so the tech in the store "back-room" can possibly put $8 in new filter capacitors in your unit and with a little luck will have a 17" L70s for 1-2 more years use. 12fixlouie

Hello,

It sounds like you have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors will blow a power supply. The problem is caused by parts called capacitors overheating in the confined space of he monitor. If you are good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix he problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad parts,replace any that look like the pictures and your monitor should work fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct + and -connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new one the same way. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer a repair service for $45 plus shipping. If your problem is not the capacitors then it would be the backlights and that is much more difficult to replace.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

try your colour reduce it a bit and it should work if there is to much colour it will turn on and off

ontherhodes5, Your monitor will probably need servicing for one or both power supplys in the unit. Yes, If you can get a new oem Switch-mode-power-supply/inverter board you might get it working. I suspect that it (smps) can't supply the voltages needed by the logic-interface board- therefore no digital data can be processed for display on the screen, which should be white-bright but now only gray. (dim) because the 1000v ac from inverter circuit is also missing 10to40% of it's output. Your best bet will be to find out if Hundai can do a repair/swapout. You send yours+$40 to $90 and they send you a Refurbished same model with new CCF tubes, Inverter board, smps board. It seems that sooner or later these lcd ccf (cold cathode fluorescent tube backlights) will need servicing. Don't feel bad about this monitor. There are about, (guess only) 2500 more of all makes and models with similar power supply problems out there. To see whats inside a lcd search YOUTUBE for vids of servicing or repair of lcd screens or similar.. also www badcaps.net ??? or lcdrepair.us or visit electronicrepairguide.com run by a Jestine Yong. Ignore the sales pitch and just look fyi. hope this was of some help. drop me a note if possible. I'm louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel@ aol.com BYE

a normal minijack (3,5 mm) cable, with the same plug in both ends.

if you have a cable already, try to adjust the volume using the buttons on the screen

Sounds like a mode issue. Make sure you have the pc set to a compatible mode for the monitor. You may also want to double check the vga cable is firmly set in the monitor and pc.

the power button board is electronically fried you need a new one
