Is this a power switch Problem?

I've had this monitor for some time now and has always worked very well. Just lately, when I turn it on it does not always do the right thing. The switch tells me it sees the computer but the Acer splash screen does not come on as usual, and I will just get an intermittent blink. If I turn it off and on a few times I eventually get the Acer screen and everything is fine. Once on there are absolutely no issues. However the problem is getting more frequent and it is taking longer with the on/off to get it going. Anything anyone can offer would be great thanks.

YOU DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM VERY WELL.IF IT'S OLD
THE ADVISE WOULD BE START LOOKING FOR A REPLACMENT-MONITOR

Testimonial: "Thanks for the help. I was hoping to see if there was a parts replacement solution before I bought a new monitor because it seems a shame since everything else works as it should. Again, Thanks"

SOURCE: monitor keeps going blank at start up

This looks to be a power supply fault - the inverters for the backlights are built into the power supply (Delta Electronics, model no. ADP-40AF).

SOURCE: Acer AL1917 Monitor does not start up immediately.

You'll need to have your power board -inverter redone.
The capacitors are starting to fail and that eventually will stop it all together.
I repair many monitors through ebay with these types of problems.
If you take it apart and send me a picture, I can usually see the problem areas.

SOURCE: blank screen

Possible that the HV inverter or the CFL tubes are going bad / defective. I suggest to bring the unit to an authorized Acer service center for proper check-up / test & fix the problem. regards

SOURCE: Light on power on switch keeps blinking, screen blank.

Definitely a problem with the monitor. If you can get the back open then look at the main board and the power board. You will want to look for puffy capacitors. Instead of a flat top it will look puffy like its pregnant.

If you find any like that then you need to replace them with new capacitors that have the same Uf rating and at least the same voltage or higher.

This will take some unsoldering and soldering skills. Make sure the stiped edge gets aligned with the striped edge on the board.

If you replaced them then the monitor should turn back on. If it doesn't then its a screen problem and you'll need to get a new monitor.

Acer Aspire 5536 only gives black screen when i connect power supply

  • Nothing is more annoying than a monitor that refuses to turn on. Make sure your Acer monitor is plugged in to a functioning outlet. If it's plugged into a power strip, try replacing it with a new one or moving the plug to a different outlet. Ensure that both ends of the power cable are plugged in firmly and securely, and that the connection to the monitor is not loose.
Cable Issues
  • Your Acer LCD monitor will usually accept DVI and VGA inputs. If you have an older computer, a VGA cable should work fine. If it doesn't have a VGA port, you'll need to obtain an inexpensive DVI to VGA adapter at your local computer store. A DVI cable, however, is compatible with most modern computers and offers superior picture quality over VGA. Make sure you're using the cable that's compatible with your system, and that you have the proper conversion adapter, if necessary.

I've had my Compaq Preario CQ80-410US for about 2 years now. There's been some issue with it overheating lately but I've been giving it breaks when it gets too hot. Last night I went to turn...

Hi

Sir as you describe the problem i don't think it has to do anything with overheating. Only this is open the LCD panel and check to make sure if the cable is connected to the LCD firmly, normally because we use the laptop a little rough the cable connecting to LCD from the motherboard normally get loose. And also do not forget that LCD replacement is also not ruled out here.

Envision EN7410e monitor

Just fixed mine. Maybe it's a few years late. Hope you guys still have the display. It's the power supply board. I've just replaced 4 bulge capacitors near one edge of the PS. They are 2x1000uF 10V, 1x470uF 25V & 1x470 10V. I salvaged my parts from an old CRT monitor. Hey you can go green with your repairs too!
