Hello,

The reason your unit is flickering when in digital mode and not analog mode is because digital mode requires more power than analog. The power supply in the unit is beginning to have a failure in the output filter capacitors so the power is not as smooth as it should be, when the voltage fluctuates so does the picture. If you replace the failing capacitors in the power supply board the problem will go away. Here is a link to a repair guide with dis-assembly instructions and then what to look for and replace to get the unit back up and running.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

I believe this flickering might be caused by failing caps. Replacement is not too difficult, so will see if the flickering continues.

After starting the computer the screen is black and only displays digital analog on screen and the blue light is flashing. It then displays a box say "check signal digital analog." please help me. Thanx.

This blue light flashing means there is power to monitor bu NO video signal. No Analog or digital Video . analog is the regular plug for PC to Monitor, the other is HDMI digital or other digital. Check signal digital/analog means again: No video signal from PC detected.

My flat screen Samsung monitor flickers on and off and goes to black for a few seconds before flickering on and off again. I tried taking out the cable connecting it to the computer and it still flickers...

Yes probably your monitor should be check by a technician. Try to see the warranty for you monitor if its still catch the warranty service for it, they may replace it. Bring it back to where you bought it.

The monitor turns on and the computer image comes on for about a second then screen goes black again. The image that does come on is perfect.

I'm having the exact problem. I just got the new monitor & I replaced my 18". When I plug it in it flickers, when it does come on it's clear & clean; but after a few minutes it goes black. I tried to switch it to Digital & Analog, but I don't know how to fix it. I know it works, it was just plugged into my brother's computer. Is something wrong with the settings on my computer? If so, how do I fix it? I have both monitors hooked up on my computer desk right now, it's a bit crowded! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I just got my tower back from the shop. I hooked it back up to my Samsung monitor and I can't get the monitor back to digital mode

digital mode only works on dvi or hdmi connection. if you connect it to vga, that's always analog mode.

Samsung 215TW Monitor Flicker

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

I had a similar problem on a different monitor and fixed the green sparkles by selecting a lower refresh rate.

Samsung 931B SyncmMaster

DO YOU MEAN WONT SWITCH FROM ANALOG TO DIGITAL!!!

THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL CHANGE IS IF YOU HAVE A DIGITAL INPUT SOURCE CONNECTED to this mointor like HDMI AS THIS MOINTOR AUTOMATICALLY SENSES ANALOG SIGNALS AND DIGITAL INPUT SIGNALS if a digital signal is available it will switch over if a digital input singal is not available you will only be able to use the analog option
