Your PC is putting too high resolution for he VL1918 to display.
You need to set your PC video out put to the native resolution of the VL1918, which is 1280x1024 @60Hz.
You will have to hook up your old monitor (crt type?) and set the new resolution.
Or boot up in safe mode (hit f8 during boot up), and set the resolution to 640 x 480, reboot into regular mode, then rest the resolution to 1280x1024 260Hz.

Look for recommendations on here about replacing the Capasitors. I have a Philips 170S5B and it worked for me. Only cost me $11 and I'm no electronics guy.

Check the Inverter card Connector which goes to pannel,Next Panel to AD card signal Cabble,..

Theres sort of clips that clips to the side of the monitor's frame, use a flat screwdrive to care fully push through the sides of the LCD to unlock the clips.

Hi Alvie
I Just checked the specs on both the card and the monitor. It should work no problem. If for some reason you notice some lag or flicker in the monitor, go to this page and download the updated ForceWare graphics drivers.

check www.badcaps.net - they have a tutorial on their site for replacing caps, it's for motherboards- but the technique is the same.

I ordered caps for the Princeton Monitor VL1918 from Mouser.com and got their item # 647-UHE1E471MPD6.

The 470uf 25v caps size- 10x16 mm
