Re: My monitor won't stop blinking. It just started doing...
You could have a faulty inverter board or faulty CCFL lamp which can cause the screen to flash. Check out LCD Parts for service, parts and DIY info - click on this link to their WEB site. :- www.lcdparts.net

The powering off and on the back light is due to bad capacitors. Go ahead and explore the internal power supply. This is a very common issue on LCD I have fixed about 8 of these ranging from 1 yr of use to 9 yrs of use. I own 4 LCDs and have fixed 3 of them. 2-X2Gen, 1 Samsung and one Viewsonic. The latter one is running with out an issue and the one I use the most.
Once you open your lcd look for plunged capacitors. Replace as necessary. The fix should cost you less than 20 bucks
Check this pics for power supply removal, bad caps and new caps.
Well, pictures are over 4mb let me know if you are interested in seeing more pictures relating to this fix.
If it EVER works, then the problem is not a failed part, but a weak part. The most likely component type to give you such problems are capacitors. But very few repair techs know how to find such problems, and even fewer have the equipment needed to find the bad one(s) in-circuit. The failure mode is high ESR (ESR means Equivalent Series Resistance). The lower the ESR, the better. Capacitors with high ESR cannot stabilize circuits which demand high pulse currents, such as in switch mode power supplies.
hi do you mean you are asking for the blinking codes on your viewsonic pc monitor?. usually lcd monitor for pc has no blinking codes, if your monitor just only a blinking indicator and won't turn on, you must check first the source from your pc if their is a signal to turn on the monitor. if just blinking only then won't turn on you must check the power supply of the monitor usually the main cause is bulging capacitor. just replace it with the same value and rating thanks for consulting the fixya good luck.
Try a different monitor...if the different one won't come up then the prob is your video card in the computer...if it does work then the monitor is defective...it would probably be cheaper to get a new monitor than to have the syncmaster fixed
Actually, the ultra high voltage 'charger' for the florecence (a.k.a. your back light)has gone Kaput...
If your lucky, someone will have a monitor like yours that has the back light come on, but no picture (should get a similar blinking light situation, but a different code. Like... blink, hold, blink blink, hold, blink). In this situation (if your comfortable doing it) you can swipe the exciter from that monitor and put it in your monitor. Obviously this is a more economical way of repairing the monitor.
Just to be on the safe side (as the repair is blindingly easy. 6 screws, pop out, pop back in) DON'T touch any of the back side components. You WILL shock the supreme **** out of yourself. Between the heavy duty capacitors and the ultra high gain transformers on those things you could jump start a bus. So don't be fooled... those little transformers pack a mean sting.
A blinking power light typically means there is no signal from the video card, so check the connections and try another monitor (or plug the monitor into another computer) first to see if the video card is perhaps the real culprit.
the only thing you can do, is to get a qualified service technician if you are not an electronic expert. because the problem is in your power supply and inverter board. due to heat pressure inside can damage components specially capacitors.
A common fault with this monitor is both bad capacitors and also dry joints, both will cause your problem.
Both faults are easy to correct if you have basic electronic knowledge, but if not, would be best left in the hands of your local technician.
Voltages inside of these monitors can kill and for the cost of the repair it's hardly worth risking your life.
If you choose to see a tech, then please just advise him of what I have said. It should give him the impression you know what you are talking about and stop him ripping you off.
