HF289H Hannspree Monitor

possible short circuit on button board coupling resistor or capacitor dry jointed

I would first suspect a power supply issue in the monitor, it would require at the least opening the set and looking in the power supply for signs of damage, if its a year or two old look carefully for puffed up caps.

If you are not able to safely get it apart have a tech look at it for you.

In case you do get it open here is what bad filter caps look like, if find that they are fairly easy and inexpensive to replace.

Turn the Hannspree-brand monitor on using its remote, then press "Menu."
Press and scroll the down arrow button to highlight "Setting." Press the right arrow button to enter the "Setting" menu.

Press and scroll the down arrow button to highlight "Aspect."

Press and scroll the right arrow button to change the aspect ratio from "Auto" to "Full," "Normal," Panorama" or "Zoom," depending on the type of image that you want to see on the screen.

Press "OK" on the remote control. Press "Menu" twice to exit the menu settings.
hope it helps

It may have damaged the power supply(PS) and a fuss is possible, but you may not recognize the fuss on the circuit board. Open up the monitor and take a look. Also take the Number down off PS and look-up on line. A used/refurbished PS. eBay a good place to look

try this

press tv button (lights up red)

hold setup button for 10 seconds (tv button blinks twice)

enter code 10030

Press power button on top right. If tv turns off your good

If it doesnt work follow steps above but try these other codes 11348, 11745, 11783

christerfred, I would think that if it TURNED OFF all by itself, and no matter how many times you push the on/off switch it remains in the OFF state, I certainly think it's BROKE. In fact I think that the "switch-mode-power-supply" may be in permanent SHUTDOWN mode. Here is a clue! When strange things happen to an LCD display, the first place to look is the power supply, be it a SMPS that lives on the floor or resides inside the plastic case of the monitor. I have worked on a few LCD displays and repaired a few of them. But I have never come across a magical "let it work" reset button. If Hannspree won't do anything in the way of warranty work, then go watch some of the longer video clips of "LCD monitor disassembly" and "LCD repair" @ YOUTUBE just so that you will know what is up with all the LCD monitors (all brands) that now have BLACK and LIFELESS lcd panels. Also do a visit to www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm and www.badcaps.net for additional info. You will also need to do a search for the "LCD flashlight test" to evaluate the state of your Hannspree SMPS. After doing the above, get back here and tell me what you want to do. If you feel that the information received at fixya was helpful, please rate this response at fixya.

is this from your computer or monitor? if from your monitor settings, you are hitting the monitor menu button with your keyboard as you type. If from the computers' display settings, change the desktop resolution once or twice , hit apply and ok. this should break the opening cycle.

You have five buttons at thee right-hand bottom of your screen (just under thee edge). They are (from
left to right) the Main Menu button, the Down button, the Up button, the Input button and the Power
button (under the light).


To adjust your screen press the main menu button. Once the main menu screen is up, toggle
through it using the Up/Down buttons. Once you see what you want to adjust, move over to the
right side of the menu by pressing the Input button. Now use your Up/Down buttons to highlight
what you want to change. Once it is highlighted, press the "Input" button again. Now use the
Up/Down buttons to adjust your settings.


Once you have adjusted the settings, simply press the main menu button to exit.

Press the exit or menu button twice.
