I have a hp pavillion a462x with a hp vs19e flat panel monitor. The monitor went black, totally dead. I connected it to another computer and it worked fine. The problem seems to be in the computer. Does the computer need to be replaced?

The speakers have to connect via 3.5mm analog Male to Male cable to an audio source.

guest, If monitor vs19e acts same when connected to different "known good" pc then try this site for info: http://www.lesliewong.us/blog/2005/05/02/hp-pavilion-f1703-flat-panel-display-blackout-solution/ How old is this model? When was last time it worked correctly? 12fixlouie

If it's under warranty, then take it back for repair or replacement. If it's not under warranty then plan to buy a new one. Unfortunately, in the modern world, faulty electronics without a warranty on them are becoming increasingly known as "throw away items". This has started to happen with monitors. They call them throw away items because it typically costs just as much or more to have it repaired as it does to replace it with a new one. There are several things that could cause the monitor to go black: Bad inverter, Bad back-lights, Bad throwback (transformer), Bad LCD, & etc. Look for any burned resistors or popped capacitors on the circuit boards also. I've had a few monitors where all I had to do was replace the faulty resistor or capacitor and it worked fine.

Try the fuse on the monitor power cord, and if this does not cure, you will have to get another monitor....pretty good prices on ebay!

Hmm, haven't had experience with this exact monitor, but several people have had success with my tutorial on fixing the vs19d and vs19e. Check out the link below:

Haven't run into this particular problem, but many have been able to fix their monitors that won't come on with my tutorial. See the link below:

About your only hope for getting a replacement switch is to buy a "Parts Only" monitor off of EBay and carefully remove the switch. This one is tricky it's attached to the front bezel as you've likely found out. When you disassemble the monitor, lay it face down and remove the bac plastic then remove the 4 screws holding the button board on then take the rest apart. That's the safest way.

try to see maybe it is mute or inspect the connection of your speaker to your audio jack.i think there is loose contact of your speaker.

You have either a bad inverter board or burned out backlight fluorescent bulb. Very common on this monitor.
