MAG 2200W shuts off after 1 second

It could be two things. 1). The video card is set to a resolution the monitor does not support. 2). The monitor's power supply is bad. You can try to boot into rescue (or "safe") mode, and adjust the video card to a resolution the monitor supports. OR, power supplies usually go bad because capacitors bulge or otherwise go bad. Most monitor power supplies are hard to get, so people typically repair them. If you disassemble the monitor shell, you can see the power supply (where the AC cord goes). You can look at the metallic, cylindrical looking things with minus signs down one side, and if they look bulged on top, you can replace them. You can get replacements at mouser.com.

I see two things here, but need clarification;

1) Monitor goes to Power Saver Mode, then turns -> OFF?

Sure that monitor didn't go into Standby Mode?

2) Why are you performing a restore back to factory settings?
Pick up a virus?

Primer;
The monitor receives a signal. A video signal. The video signal comes from the computer.

If the monitor is NOT receiving a video signal, then the monitor will state No Signal.
This is for older monitors.

New monitors do not state No Signal anymore.
It's Power Saver Mode, or Sleep Mode.

If the monitor is truly OFF, the Power On button will Not be lit up.
Or the Power On LED light on the monitor.

Monitor power on LED is lit, or Power On button is lit?

Monitor is not receiving a video signal;

Use a monitor cable from a KNOWN to be working monitor, for a temporary test.
OR,
Use a Known to be working monitor, and it's monitor cable.

Need to find out if monitor cable is good.

Monitor cable checks out good?

Then problem is computer.

The two leading issues with desktop computer failure, is;

1) Computer is dirty inside
2) Power Supply inside computer is bad.

Please post back in a Comment.

i have a proview 2200w it comes on for about 3 seconds and goes off with the blue light still on

Hello,

The picture board on your monitor is bad, since it goes off after few seconds and the power led or button is on, it means the picture board of your monitor has developed fault.

The best thing for you to do now is to take the monitor to a local repairer or service center within your vicinity to help with the replacement of the picture board because the fault is not something you can fix yourself, in order not to complicate issues.

Take care.

Open up the set and look for bad caps, see saome examples of failed monitors here: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

The capacitors in the power supply look good?

It can be the backlight inverter board is going out.

from green to amber could be one of many things,1 video grapics card malfunction,,,2,, dry joints in the mother board..3 bad data cable ,,pc to monitor cable vga,,failing power supply,,,,i suggest you open the pc remove the data cable to you floppy while it is off remove memory stick clean with a damp soft rag or tissue reinsert when allowed to dry for 10 mins and then restart pc without the speakers web cam and anything except mouse keyboard and restart ,if it does same thing then your problem lies in *********** board,thus you need a new one

ur problem is with VGA port of ur monitor check it out wether its connection loose or not the problem is of power signal its not getting a proper current supply so check it out otherwise repair it.....

I would think that the monitor is the issue, especialy that in safe mode it still does not function properly!

The fault with the monitor may be in the scan amplifier circuits, and or the power supply.

When I used to service these, I found many times that there were defective electrolytic capacitors in the scan amplifier sections and the power supply that gave problems.

This type of repair is time consuming, and when out of warranty it may not be worth the cost.

I would be seriously considering an LCD monitor.

Beautiful screen, lasts about for a few minutes, goes black. Power button still green. If I turn it off, and then back on, it works again for a while. Any ideas?
