Acer 1711 LCD Monitor

Hello,

A white screen indicates the power supply board is not putting out the correct voltages to properly power the monitor, just the back light. This type of issue is caused by a failure of the filter capacitors on the power board. You can rebuild your power supply board and bring the monitor back to life by just replacing the the bad capacitors. The problem is that model the Acer AL1711 could come with 1 of 4 different power supply boards install depending and the date manufacturer and supply on hand. If you want to repair the monitor if you could open the unit and get either the model number of the power supply board or send a picture of the board to me I will be glad to help you repair the unit and get it back up and running. You can contact me to send the information at [email protected]

my acer al 1711 monitor goes off after three seconds of applying new settings with resolution chgs or refresh rate the monitor display is blank but the light is green.

Here are the service manuals:

Sounds like bad caps in the power supply. C6 & c22 often need replacing. Check also R1, 10 ohns.

I have the same problem on my Acer AL1711. The monitor was out of warranty so I opened it up and found one of the 1000 mf capacitor almost ready to pop. A 50 cents replacement from allelectronics.com fixed the problem.

Not recommended for anyone without experience soldering electronic components to PCB's.

Has your problem remained stable since you posted this in June or is it now completely dead?

same prob on mine gues its the inverter board but not tried yet

This is possibly an inverter. When the monitor goes out, examine the LCD to see if you can see a faint image of the video being displayed. IF so, replace inverter. If not, possibly a bad LCD or video circuitry.

Turn the monitor ON and continue to hold the power button for a few seconds.

Worked for me :)

Throw it out the window. Acer sucks.
