Question about Dell E173FP 17" LCD Monitor
Hi, My dell LCD 17" monitor flashes white every second, and then goes black. The green LED also flashes orange. The only way I was able to make it temporairily stop was by giving it a good smack on the back of the monitor. Initially, it would only occur when the computer went into sleep mode, and then trying to come back, this would occur. As time passed, the flahing got worse to the point where every five minutes this would occur. I broke down and got a new one (the warrenty expired about 2 months before), but I would like to fix the monitor if at all possible without having to spend a lot of money. However, I do not know where to begin. I have it apart, but cant find any obvious problems. Hope someone can help!! Thanks in advance. Mike
Take a very good look at the power supply capacitors. Are any of the tops of the electrolytic capacitors domed? If you replace them, use a high frequency high temprature replacement to prevent a repeat failure. Don't use a standard 85 degree cap. It won't last.

Buy a new one PLEASE, HD monitor works best but the least expensive ones are smaller

My Dell E173FP 17" LCD monitor looks great when it starts up. After less than 5 minutes, parts of the screen begin to flash white. Then, within the next 10 minutes the flashing areas expand and flash more frequently, so that eventually the entire screen is white and no longer shows any other color. If I turn the screen off for a couple minutes, it looks great when I turn it on again. But then warms up quickly and begin flashing again. Thinking that some component is overheating, I removed the plastic casing and tried dust-spraying the various components inside, to see if I could cool anything and see if it made any difference in the performance of the screen. No luck. YET. I am concerned about removing the circuit board from the screen part, as it seems there may be some sort of anti-static strips between them, and I don't know how important they are for the short term.
Has anyone been able to resolve a problem like this?
My dell monitor flashes on and off, power light is orange and is blinking also, after a few minutes I´ll move the power cord and the dell screen will show up and all is back to normal. Why is this happening?
Its a nice solution, but i don't know how to open the panel.
please help. If there is a procedure please e-mail me. thanks.. in advance.
