My GF 3800 monitor has no power. Won't turn on.

I just won one from GNC and not sur if it is working properly, because screening is flashing in some type of error mode. removing battery was only way to reset.
1. First normal screen is the time display. (only shows 3 numbers.)
2. Press "set" then up/down for correct time.
3. after setting time, press up/down for 12h/24h format
4. Press "mode" & NO 1 flashes, showing Wt 50 Kilo & Man
5. Press "Start" and place one thumb on each end of unit to auto-read body fat.
6. Set weight in Kilos (not sure how to convert unit to lbs, before setting, so maybe use online converter.
7. Set ht, age, man/woman, stride, using up/down arrows.
Follow process for users 2-5,

check the vga cable which get loose connection then the signal from pc not recognized.

What to you mean by Monitor won't go on? Are you saying the power on the monitor will not turn on? Are you saying the Monitor is on, but there is nothing showing on the screen? Also it would help if we know what kind of computer and what operating system.

Page 20. What does it say about WHY it won

Hi John, it should say on the front or somewhere near the control panel what model it is. If you could email a good picture of it to me I might be able to tell. If it is a Monitor heater, go to www.monitor.com or if it is a Toyostove heater go to www.toyostove.com and you can download an owners manual. The most recent models of Monitor gas heater are the GF 3800 and GF 1800. The older one is the GF 500. You can send a picture to [email protected].

i dont know my lg neon does that too! my bros gf has a different kind of lg that does the same thing

This is a known problem with a series of components inside the monitor. There are about 11 capacitors that if replaced will allow the monitor to function properly.

The best place to go to read more is http://www.badcaps.net/forum/printthread.php?t=2658

The list of the capacitors that are bad are below with possible replacements.

C922, C925: Hermei LE 1000uF 16V, low impedance, general purpose, replacing with 1000uF 16V Samxon GF.
C201: Hermei LZ 150uF 25V, ultra low impedance, high ripple current, replacing with 1000uF 25V Samxon GF.
C924, C926, C929, C930, C932, C933: Hermei LT 470uF 16V, high ripple current, low impedance, replacing with 1000uF 16V Samxon GF.
C207: Unknown CD110 50uF 4.7uF (general purpose), replacing with a 35V 4.7uF tantalum unit (SCP/Short Circuit Protection pin on TL1451 won't get anywhere near 35V).
C907: WC (with stylized Westinghouse W) SM 22uF 50V (general purpose), replacing with 63V 100uF Samxon GF (used for SMPS controller Vcc filtering).
C905: Hermei HT 100uF 400V, standard, general purpose, leaving as is - generally no problem.
