Question about ViewSonic VX900 19" Flat Panel LCD Monitor

2 Answers

Vx900 viewsonic monitor problem . Blank screen except for power off/on

My 3 yr old lcd vx900 monitor suddenly went blank except when I cycle power. The image then appears just fine for one second and then goes blank again. View sonic said it was the inverter (power). And would cost $120. Does this sound right?

    exactly the same problem that I have. The screen only flashes on for a split sec and then goes black.

    Yes I have the same model with the exact same problem.

    Same problem. When I turn the monitor on, the image flashes for a fraction of a second then the screen goes black (but the green light stays on which indicates the computer is still sending it the signal). Same whether I use DB15 or DVI.

Search for "VX900 inverter" on eBay. A company from China sells for $21, new, free shipping.

    Yes. The inverter WAS the problem. LCDPart.Com sells it for $80 and has a PDF document that guides you to change it. If you are on a budget, an outfit from China sells them on eBay for $21, shipping, included. The only problem is that their part is wider and shorter. So, although it works, you have to tape it down in place because it does not fit where the original comes.

My screen suddenly went black. What can I do?

Check to see if you do have 12vdc output from the power supply module, then also check the fuses on the backlight inverter board.

When booting up my system in the morning the monitor is blank for about 15 minutes then it pops on. During the 15 minute warm-up there is a very dim pulsating of the screen every 3 or 4 seconds.

One bad lead can cause a computer lots of problems
replace all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA the ones that attach from your motherboard to your hard drive
hope this helps

Have an old view sonic vx900 (~5yrs old). When you

Check the fuse on the inverter board and also verify it does have have 12vdc feeding the fuse. Worst case will be the lamps, power supply caps look OK?

The power light is red and blinking rapidly, screen blank

is it plugged into wall or a surge? may make a difference. Some screens require certain amount of KV and some surge protectors have less KV than needed to run some things. good luck

It could be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp.

ViewSonic LCD (VA1912w) Went Blank

I am using this great LCD for about an year. But few times in the past my LCD didnt show up the display though the Green light was still ON, turning off the LCD and opening it again always solved the problem. But now My LCD completely went blank. Turning off/on didnt work at all now. I've tried couple of other tweaks mentioned on this site but they didnt work. I am just seeing a blank screen with green light ON. and ya theres a very low hissing sound coming from the LCD.

Viewsonic VX900 blank screen

Here is a pic of the fuses on the inverter board for a Viewsonic vx900, you can visually inspect them as well if you do not have a volt meter. While visual inspection is not 100% reliable, usually when these are popped you will see the red line across them is black or broken.
