Question about Liquid Video E17LCD1 17" Flat Panel LCD Monitor
Hi, my problem is that my LCD blinks on and off, on and off, on and off, and so on. I have tried unplugging it from both power and the computer but it continues to blink on and off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If it flashes ON and OFF when simultaneously unplugged from both power and the computer then it's trying to communicate with you. Mine flashes code to me. It tells me what to do. Last night it told me to get it $5,000,000 in unmarked bills. Seriously, turn the monitor on without connecting it to a computer. If it flashes ON and OFF continously, then you have either a bad monitor or a bad AC/DC power adapter/brick (you know, the rectangular black corded adapter you plug into the wall outlet). If it only flashes ON and OFF when connected to a computer, try the monitor on another computer. If the monitor is 3-4 years old, it may be time to replace it since a replacement AC/DC adapter might be very hard to find. Let me know what you find out, if you need more help.

Sidenote:
Now that I've had a refreshing night's sleep and can think better, I mentioned the AC/DC adapter above, I don't really think that is the problem in your case.
What I believe is wrong in your case is:
the flashing ON and OFF is normally caused by a bad ballast capacitor on the inverter printed circuit board (PCB).
This can be replaced/repaired by a competent technician, although I'm sure the repair and shipping costs would almost equal 3/4 of the purchase price of a new monitor.
Time for a new LCD?

mine has been doing the same thing and then it says No Signal Input, then shuts down. I do believe it's time for a new monitor, I have had for about three years or so. Mine is a A17OE1-01
