Is my monitor dead or is it something else

Hi

Yes 1703FPs 17" TFT LCD Flat Panel Monitor it is only a monitor


In case I had help you pls vote me

your monitor might not recieving incoming signal thats why it turns off try to examin your cpu this might be the problem your system is no booting...replace your videocard..

solution is that monitors with speakers are get damaged very fast.That speakers are low quality and usually not working after a week or month max

Hi Gaz,

First, verify the monitor is functional.
Monitor STFC (Self Test Feature Check)
Turn off the monitor
Plug the monitor power cord directly into the wall socket to remove any surge protectors or APCs from the troubleshooting equation
Unplug the monitor video cable from the back of the computer
Turn on the monitor
The floating dialog box should appear on screen against a black background.
If the issue appears during the STFC, the monitor is defective. What are the results please?

The LCD and or the LCD inverted has failed. it is an unfortunate fact of life that nowdays it is cheaper to replace that monitor that to aquire parts for repair

Hi...there,
It's seems you got a busted screen panel...

The clipping sound is the internal safety switch that keep shutting down the monitor.
It means there is an internal problem on the main board (overvoltage, bad component , short).
Try unplugging power cord and leaving it unplugged two or three hours, this will reset ICs by draining power completely from circuits, it is called hard reset, it rarely works.
CRT monitors waste up to 15 times more energy than TFT screen, if your CRT starts giving troubles, then it is a good time for upgrading it to a new TFT.

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

you shouldnt have to have a driver for a monitor. but, what operating system are you using?

you have snap frame around the screen itself use flat screw driver fine edge, theres about four locations that snap into slots work them away and remove frame, then remove screws on back will seperate ,you will have to remove monitor button panel board to, once inside, four screws around screen itself once in side,this will lead you to power connection inside main screen frame, the board and the connections
