Question about Dell E173FPb 17" TFT LCD Monitor

Monitor Goes Blank after 30 mins....

My friend gave me his monitor, because he was having problems with it. He told me that it would work for a while and then just go blank. The green light stays on but the screen goes blank. If you turn it off and turn it back on it works, but only for a few seconds. If you wait 1 minuate and turn it back on it will stay on for around 10 mins and do the same. I was just wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem, because I have always wanted an LCD, but they cost to much and this one is free and I was hoping maybe I could fix it up and use it for myself because an LCD is much easier to carry around and the colors are so much better. Please help me out if you can. Thanks, Michael Shear

I had one given to me that has identical symptoms. I was just starting to investigate it. I read another blog about a guy with a similar problem that lessened the frequency by reducing the screen brightness. I plan to try it to see if it makes mine stay on longer until I can find schematics and parts breakdown for repair.

My hp pavilion F1703 monitor goes blank about every 30 seconds.

Thsi model has known problem with bad solder joints due to contamination, you need to remove the old solder on the four inductor leads, clean the leads eal well and resolder, see my pictures here: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/HP%20F1703/
Al so look to see any one of the capacitors have bulging top, they should be completely flat top.

Screen turns on lights light up then after about 30 mins screen goes blank AOC PD4262

have you tried testing the screen on other pc if it wotks or the same effect? if you tried it on other pc and the result is the same, the screen or monitor is faulty,and needs repair or replacement, but if it works on other pc's, your pc have the problems. it could be the memory module, video card, or the motherboard or processor. also, try checking the settings, maybe you have set it to auto-off after 30 mins or so.

The monitor goes blank after a few min, it comes

Are you sure that your computer isn't just going into power saving mode? Not sure what operating system you have but go into the screen savers tab or video properties and find out how your system is set up for power saving It may be starting before your screen saver does so the monitor would just go black.

Turn on notebook (A200 2 years old). Runs fine for about 10 minutes then screen goes blank. if you plug in an external monitor both screens work. This is not an intermittent problem.

Have you check screen power down could be it is setup to shut down as you say after 10 mins. Access power through control panel, change settings ie to 30 mins

Well, my friend. The issue is, the dual monitor hast THREE modes:
1. Internal monitor only
2. External monitor only, and
3. Both monitor simultaneusly.
You may need to keep pressing the FN combination until you reach the mode you want. (You need to wait about 3 seconds before the mode can be observed)

CRT Monitor goes blank

Have you checked your energy saving settings? Try to set the monitor to "always on" and verfy if the problem still persists.
Also check if your monitor drivers have their own energysaving options, although i doubt it.

Monitor displays breifly then goes to blank screen

The green power light indicates that the monitor is receiving from the computer correctly. I suspect it is going into high voltage shutdown. There is a safety circuit that monitors the high voltage and shuts the monitor down if it sees anything amiss. So the monitor comes on and then shuts off. High voltage problems are generally not worth trying to repair. Another example of a worthless safety feature. High voltage failures are not dangerous, and adding the safety circuit just kills the unit when it may have some life left or worse, sometimes it is the shutdown circuit itself which fails!
Hope this helps.

My MAG Innovision Monitor went blank, only works if I stay connected to internet

usually this problem is caused by a faulty inverter circuit. transistors might been running too hot or a leaky capacitors also.not an easy task but try looking down for any defects on high voltage sections.
