Acer AL1914 19" LCD Monitor Logo
Anonymous Posted on Oct 07, 2010

My Acer AL1914 monitor works perfectly. However, when I turn off the computer and then turn it back on, the screen does not come back on. The word ACER will pop up for a moment and then goes away, the green light next to the on/off button on the monitor steadily blinks. The only way I can get my "desk top" to show is to unplug the cords from the back of the monitor, wait a minute or 2 and then plug in the power cord and then the connection cord immediately. If I have trouble getting the connection cord plugged in right away, the screen will not come on and I have to unplug the cords again and wait a minute or two and then try again! Is this a driver problem??? I've tried to download and reload a driver but have not been sucessful. I use windowsXP.

    both cord have been replace. The same thing happens if i switch my monitor off. When turn it back on (monitor on/off button) the green light comes on, looks like the monitor is trying to come on, and then the green light on the monitor start blinking...pusing the on/off button on the monitor then does nothing...i'ts got to be something in the programing/system. would like to know how to read the system files for the monitor start/restart.

Try checking the cables for bent or broken pins or just try a new monitor cable.

When turning on my monitor(AL1914) the Acer name appears then disappears and a box that reads "no signal" appears.

Not the monitor. check that both end of the cable are tight. The most likely problem is the video card in the computer it it works okay on the XP computer.

Describe your acer monitor al1914 Problem screen not working right. The clarity and the color are dim. Tried to auto reset, but no luck so far. please help!

As far as the clarity concerned, the PC Video setting should be set to the native resolution of this monitor, which is 1280 x 1024 @60Hz for best picture.
Try it on another PC also, otherwise you may have to open it up but we need to narrow down the problem first.

I unplugged my Acer al1914 monitor from my computer and plugged a different acer al1914 in my computer and now when I transfer the screen from notebook to monitor it has a blue tint on the entire screen. I...

Check the color settings in the on-screen menu. You can choose between "Warm", "Cool" and "User". Maybe you used the "Warm" setting before and somehow it got changed to "Cool".
If this is not the case, you can try the "User" mode and reduce the intensity of the blue channel.
If even black areas show a blue tint, maybe running an auto configuration from the menu helps.
As a last resort, use the "Reset" menu item which resets all settings to factory defaults.

Monitor Acer Al 1914, no signal

Check your connections to the PC. Make sure that they are nice and secure. If there is a resolution problem setting it should display the boot process and then go blank after starting the operating system.
