Had a power failure; no ups backup. switched off the power switch at back of computer. When power returned, switched back on pwer switch on computer and started booting process. Monitor remained blank, blue power light flashing. No display. Repeated switch offs off and reboots did not help the situation....even 10 12 hours after power returned. Hooked up a different (Dell) monitor to my system and the system worked fine.
Last time this happend it took several hours well after power returned before the samsung monitor displayed anything.
Hello,
It sounds like you have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors
will blow a power supply. The problem is caused by parts called
capacitors overheating in the confined space of the monitor. If you are
good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix the problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad parts,replace any that look like the pictures and your monitor should work
fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct + and -
connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new one the
same way. Look in our monitor repair section for step by step repair guide for this model it should be the same power supply as the 930. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer a repair service for $35 plus shipping.
I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.
