Question about Samsung SyncMaster 173T (Black) 17" LCD Monitor

Open Question

It shuts down and stays off

It shuts down all of a sudden and stays off, it doesn't respond to a move of the mouse or a key pressed to bring it back to say it shutdown for idle reasons. I have plugged into several different towers and the same result will eventually come: a black screen with no back light on, the only thing that is on is the little square green light on the lower right of the casing of the monitor. I can flip the toggle switch in the back of the monitor and it will respond by showing a dimmed picture with the analog box in the center, but usually when the analog box goes away so does the picture. I just now experiences a different shut down when the analog goes a way the screen stays by getting brighter but in 3-4 sec it will shutdown like before. Also the monitor and or computer doesn't have to be on long for this to occur; as in i just woke up this morning and turned the comp on and 30sec later the screen shutdown, while all yesterday i ran the screen fine with no problems. what is causing this? and where can i find a free schematic to try and fix?

Did it work properly using a VGA (analog) cable? If so, check your DVI (digital) cable against the pictures at the bottom of http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html.
You probably have one of the two at the left. Each has a different bandwidth, translating to a maximum resolution. The native resolution for your monitor might be marginal if you have a single-link DVI-D cable.
My 204B seems very picky about signal-level. It blinks when connected by DVI, even though it should be fine with a single-link cable, and complains about the settings even though the settings are optimal. Maybe yours is similar. I have ordered a dual-link cable and will try that myself.

SOURCE: Screen goes black after 2 seconds

Simplest solution may be the screen resolution settings are set higher than the monitor's capabilities. Try lowering the screen resolution and refresh rate in the display properties or try booting to safe mode (press F8 when the Windows splash screen first appears) and see if the LCD will display the windows desktop. It that works, check your video drivers and the screen resolution and refresh rate settings.
If the monitor has the problem in safe mode and/or if lowering the screen resolution and refresh rate don't help then I suspect the a problem similar to one some Dell 17inch LCDs have. On the Dells It is usually caused by a defective voltage regulator transistor in the backlight inverter circuit. Troubleshooting that problem should only be attempted if you have experience at repairing electronic circuitry since it will involve testing individual components and soldering.

I cannot move the mouse on screen- what do I do?
Make sure there is nothing plugged into any USB ports, restart the computer (or manually shut it down by pressing the button) and turn it back on. If that doesn't fix it, try plugging in a USB wireless (or wired) mouse and see if that works.

All of a sudden I lost control of my mouse pad. The indicater will move around but it will not respond. I did add a wireless mouse and it still does the same Dell computer
Try restarting your computer, and while its booting up, tap f8..

then choose last known good configuration..

If that doesnt work for you, try using the keyboard to navigate to system restore..

The first step is pressing the windows key on the keyboard, and then by using the tab key and enter and the up and down arrows, navigate to

all programs, accessories, system tools, system restore..

Then perform a system restore to a time before this issue started

You have to click the Start button and choose "Shut Down " and click the mouse on that. If that does not work, try pressing Ctrl + Alt+ delete simultaneously. What they call the task manager will come up. choose Shut down and click on it. It should shut down

The BenQ M310 mouse needs to "sync" with the USB receiver. Need to push the two buttons at the same time, or maybe the one in the mouse first then push the button in the USB receive so the two can "sync" to each other. This may solve this problem. Good luck!

Yes, there is a way to shut down without touchpad. Look to see if you have a key on bottom left corner of keypad that looks like a little MS Windows icon (kinda like a 4-piece "crooked flag"). If you do, you are in luck. Press that key ONCE and let go and the start menu will "expand" and show you programs, settings and SHUT DOWN. Now just hit the UP arrow key (on bottom right side of keyboard) and the menu moves up one notch, to SHUT DOWN. No press ENTER and the shut down menu appears Move the arrow key again, until it says "SHUT DOWN and press ENTER again. That is it.

If you have no windows key (many laptops don't) then try pressing ALT and F keys. Sometimes this works. If it does raise the menu, then 5the instructions are the same thereafter (arrows and enter).

Another way to shut down is press CTR ALT and DEL (DELETE) together, all three keys simultaneously (but only ONE time). Then wait a second. This brings up a process window that has tabs for shut down (arrows and enter will work there too).

Now, when you restart, look for an icon in bottom right hand corner for "synaptics touch pad". or some other brand touch pad. There you can change your touchpad settings back to "tapping" for mouse clicking. You can also allow "click and drag" but I think that is dangerous, since you can accidentally "bury" files and folders.

Hit the solved/Fix Ya key on the way out. :)

Samsung SyncMaster 173t monitor goes blank after 30 minutes After about 30 minutes, display starts flashing off for a second, eventually staying off. Switching off for 1 minute then on it comes back on for 5 minutes, then off. Repair center says needs new motherboard. (DUH!) I'm a tech, so would like to try freeze-spray to locate overheating component or connection, but I can't figure out how to open the monitor without prying hard enough to damage it if I guessed wrong. Can anyone tell me how to open this monitor up?
