I don't really remember when I bought this VX924 19" monitor, maybe about 3 years now. The problem just started occurring for about 2 months now. It happens mostly in the mornings, during the cold long night. When I try turning it on, the boot screen and XP screen goes by fine with no problem. But then after that, when it gets to the windows log-in screen the screen goes blank with the LED light blinking continuously.
The only solution that has worked was turning the monitor off for about one minute, then turning it back on. It usually worked. Until yesterday. Now the log-in screen or any other screen won't show. I've done some research on this laptop, and it seems like a widespread problem with the Viewsonic VX series.
Any kind of solution or help would be helpful. ^^

use a CRT monitor temporarily while you re-install the drivers for the monitor

I RMA'd this probablem as well. They asked the usual questions -- try it alone, check the connections, are you using VGA or DVI... blah blah. Eventually they could give me an RMA.
They have customer support via phone on Sundays in the US, which is nice. Total time from calling to RMA was about 20 minutes.

I have the same problem with my VX922 as do MANY others. The problem seems to be caused by leaking/bulging capacitors on the circuit board. The only solution is to replace the faulty capacitors either on your own (which is fairly easy if you're good with a soldering iron) or send it to Viewsonic and have them fix it.

If there is a flashing led on front of the monitor, that indicates a fault condition.
The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the Monitor goes on protection there are only two possible causes.
1
The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges
accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the
main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection
circuit.
2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or a
broken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , starting
the flashing light.
If you are in situation one, then the
monitor will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,
sometimes even minutes.
If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.
Common
faults that can occurr suddenly are a blown capacitor on power board,
the inverter board powering up backlight lamp has blown, or a fault on
main lcd controller board.
check also the video cable, if the cable
is shorting, or the connector is bad, you can get same flashing state
because of the video cable.
Check connectors, try moving the video cable, and if the cable is not built in, then also try a replacement cable.
If under warranty contact Viewsonic to find out a Viewsonic service point.

What I mean by 'any other screen' is when sometimes I change the resolution or refresh rate, the screen goes blank also. And sometimes during playing Combat Arms, when I try to Alt + tab into the desktop, the screen goes blank. So I have to force-shut it down. The current refresh rate of the graphics card is at 75 . I read somewhere that changing it to 60 will fix the problem?
If the only solution is getting a new monitor, I think thats what I'll do.
After being able to get passed the windows log-in window, I go directly to the Nvidia video card settings, and changed the refresh rate to 60Ghz. I also changed the resolution to the recommended settings, which was 1028x1024.
The monitor was working fine since then, Dec. 29th. Until today. The problem came back.
I've had enough of this. Next time I'm purchasing a monitor from another brand.
