I've been having the same problems with my Viewsonic.I plug it in and the blue light blinks but there's no picture it's just a black screen.I do know if Viewsonic doesn't repair my monitor I'll never buy anything from them again.I have the LCD Viewsonic 22' Vx2235wm monitor.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with mine?I've bought a new video cable & video card but the monitor still does the same thing?Thanks

This should not be realted to Norton. Go to Viewsonic website and download new drivers for your monitor, and try again.

Hi!

Its actually normal. That normally happens to some monitor models at the 6500K setting. Try a higher one.

I hope this helps.

avintagedish, Possible problem w/unit power supply. Go trade it in on new a new wide screen so the electronics technician in the repair area of the store can (with a little luck) put less than $10 in parts into your unit and maybe have a nice VX2235WM to give to his 10 year old kid to play games on. I sure hope you have a valid warranty!! You should verify that VX2235WM does same at KNOWN GOOD pc!!! Swap-in a KNOWN GOOD monitor to prove pc is OK!!! Read my FIXYA profile and learn "flashlight test" for "rude an crude" test of "switch-mode-power-supply" status. Follow the links you find there to other web sites for more info. Check to see if ViewSonic has a cash+old swapout for factory refurbished unit for premature failed units! I'm lmistyrel over on aim. and 12fixlouie on FIXYA good luck in your quest to fix unit. It can be fixed. Just do your research FIRST! So you don't get ROOKED if you contract out the work. Read, read, and read some more!! Visit YOUTUBE for video clips of LCD monitor repair and disassembly. FYI.
Bye for now.

Look in the power/inverter board for bad caps with bulging top first, post back what you see inside so we can you further, see failed VIEWSOINC due to bad caps: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

The problem is most likely the monitor itself. Hook up an old monitor (usually someone has an old monitor laying around) if the computer works with another monitor you'll know for sure.
Look at your monitor using a flash light at an angle, if you can see a picture in the background you have a bad inverter.

This would indicate that you need a new monitor.

Hello,

The Viewsonic VX2235WM has a known issue with the power supply going out. The flashing power light or no picture is the classic symptoms of this issue. Check out our web site at: www.ccl-la.com. We have a step by step repair guide posted that will guide to doing the repair yourself. It involves changing a few capacitors on the power supply. If you can solder then you should be able to do the repair yourself. If you don't want to do the repair we do offer a repair service for $35 plus return shipping. If you have any additional questions just let us know at: [email protected]
