Well , did you read the rules on the monitor for
resolution? 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz
and that this OLD MON. has CCFF back lamps that can fail in 20,000 hours use! its not LED so they fail early.
dim , blink or just go dead. all do that and fast....
why not upgrade, to LED< be best. for sure.
no CCFL has future, now, they are too old now.
and spending $50 to fix a old CCFL mon.
when we can buy a new one for $50 , is well, good money after bad.


does the monitor run on any other PC OK? I bet not.

the only clue for sumptoms above is BLINK
I cant see that do that so can tell you any thing....
shine flash light in the face screen yet
to see if BLINK is , Backlight dead, or DATA DEAD.?

The auto dimming circuit on the ccfl inverter is out.  Replace the inverter and it should cure your problem.  Seek adult supervision for this repair. Do not try it by yourself.

SOURCE: Power Light Blinking & Black Screen

A blinking blue light indiactes that your power-inverter board is not putting out what it should. It needs an overhaul which may be a simple as changing out the capacitors on the boards.
It could go beyong that to transistors or even a bad bulb.
It will have to be opened up to do that.
A picture may show visual signs of damage. If you can take one and email it to me , I'll take a look.

you first install the audio drivers if the problem persists then attach AGP card then increase resolution and pc will ask question do you want to keep these settings say yes then you can see 1280x1024

I have a HP compaq LE1911 and I work in a school and one of the students has turned the screen upside down.
It is probably the settings in the main graphics adapter.

Right click on the desk top and go to Properties-settings-advanced-then you sould see a link to you main graphics adapter( intel chipset, catalyst, nvidia, ect.)

In this adapter you sould have a display settings tab that will include screen rotaion.

Set your rotaion to 0 deg and apply the changes.

I have an HP L2208w monitor which has been ok for the last two years. Suddenly, it started to display patches of different colours. Also vertical and horizontal colours appear across some pf these patches....
hi steven_katas

Im thinking that this maybe a LCD panel problem (dead pixels) already. some LCD panels last for 2-3 years depending on usage. even if you haven't dropped it or anything the LCD panel's pixels ten to give way slowly or die down since these pixels are like bulbs. here's what you can do. Try connecting a different cable from your monitor to your computer if the issue is still the same, try connecting a different computer or maybe a laptop to your monitor just to eliminate the probability that it can be a cable or a video card problem.
If you have already connected a new computer say a laptop and it is still the same it might already be a hardware problem with your monitor and might need you to bring it to the service center for repair.

Hope this helps please let me know

Hp l2208w going sleep
Hi
I am sorry that the Monitor is going to sleep mode. Are you experiencing the same issue with different Tower or CPU? Turn OFF the monitor and power cycle it after a minute and check if the same issue persists. Also, reinstall the Video Driver.

Monitor flickers and faint bands scroll down the
could be fixed by ajdusting the refresh rate....

please rate if useful, good luck

Open Display in Control Panel.
On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
On the Monitor tab, in the Refresh Frequency list, click a new refresh rate.

To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
  • The default refresh frequency setting is 100 Hertz, although your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information regarding the settings your monitor supports.
  • A higher refresh frequency reduces any flicker on your screen, but choosing a setting that is too high for your monitor can make your display unusable and cause damage to your hardware.
  • Changes to the refresh frequency affect all users that log on to the computer.
