Quickly after I turn on my Samsung SyncMaster 175v flat screen computer monitor it blacks out. Is there a simple fuse I can repalce? or is the problem more serious? The color/resolution is normal for the short time I can see what is on screen, but then I loose all picture within less than a minute. It was working perfectly until suddenly this problem. I would like to keep this monitor if there is an easy fix. I looked on youtube without any success in finding out if something could be done without a service call. Thanks for any insight you may have. Linda

had exactly the same issue as you.i contacted samsung after trying everything that was suggested and they have sent me a replacement monitor within 7 days .i believe that they are aware of an issue with a chip in the monitor and are replacing like for like free of charge as long as you are still within your 3 year warranty.give them a call you have nothing to lose.

Hi this is the way how to examine what's wrong with your LCD monitors. After you turned it on and the screen blacked out or stopped working, you have to check that if you can see the image on the screen or not by shining a flashlight into the screen, not directly but find the best angle to the screen and take a look very closely. If you can see the icons or any image, there will be a minor problem. This is because of the lamps inside screen. Some of them were broken and it is very easy to replace. If you cannot see anything on the screen, there'll be some problems with inverter board. If you have soldering tool and want to fix it by yourself, check the caps first. It may cause this problem. Some caps might show leaking or burn spot on the board because of too high temp. If you don't have soldering tool, you better go get a technician to do so. Hope this help!! If anything I can help you with, feel free to let me know.
Thank you,

Its the capacitors on the backlight power supply. Samsung installed crappy ones and they blow up after a year or two. Change out the caps and you're good to go

Dyderich, Yes, You should read up on all the causes of LCD monitor failures!! Your symptom will be among the top three cause/complaint of failures. LCD units can be repaired. If you have never used a soldering pencil, digital volt meter, DMM or Oscilloscope, then you should keep yur gruby fingers on the outside of the monitor. Your monitor's "switch-mode-power-supply" and the "cold-cathode-fluorescent-tube's" and the "inveter" power supply that lights up the tubes will need to be evaluated(trouble shoot) by a TECHNICIAN who knows all there is to know about CCFT's and what it takes to get them to light up!!! Or you can trade up to a younger model, and repair/refurbish the old and keep as a spare. You could also see if SAMSUNG has some sort of swapout program for newly refurbished same model monitors? ? ? Check with a Samsung dealer and or their website. Bye for now. I'm louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel @aol.com
