Hi, I have this problem with my LCD: wheh I turn the screen ON it works no longer than 10-15 sec./ I meen , the PC is on as well/ and loses the picture. If I turned OFF from the On/Off button and again ON - same situation. To chek if the problem is not in my PC, I pluged the LCD to my notebook - same. Do you think I have to replace the chipset / I was surprised it LG-made!/ ?

Hi...there guys,
No, no, no.... It's not the chipset....what you guys had are a busted backlight inverter, get that replaced or repaired it. Replaced a couple of over-heated capacitors...and it will come back as good as new...

No input signal, go to power save sony sdm-hs93

I f you see the message on the screen indicating 'NO INPUR SIGNAL', you need to check the VGA cable and both ends of the connectors also. Try this monitor with other PC also.

This SDM-HS73/93 have common problem: bad backlight assemblies due to poor workmanship in sodlering works, see my pictures below. You should also inspect the caps. This is not recommend for DIY.

Sony Monitor ... SOMEONE HELP, please!

Thanks for your response. I actually sent my monitor out to guy that does LCD repairs for cheap. He changed out the video board and did repairs similar to yours but still couldn't get the monitor to work. After some more testing, he found that one of the chips that contained Sony's proprietary firmware had gone bad and said there really was no way to replace the chip. It definitely seems like we had the same problem, so I thought this information may help. I'm sorry that you paid so much for repairs that didn't solve the problem.
