ViewSonic VX2235wm have to power on and off several times before image obtained. Used to be once or twice now it is more. Is there a fix??

Sounds like a power supply failure. Send it in for service.

That is a power supply problem not a video board problem. You will need to either rebuild or replace the power supply to fix that problem.

Black screens or no pictures are usually caused by a failure in the back light power supply. Many times the monitor is working but with the back lights not turning on you can't see the display. Here is a link to a repair guide that will show you how to open the unit and what to look for and replace to rebuild the power supply and bring the unit back to life.

The short answer is no, becuase by time you pay the $50 for the backlight, and $75/hour for the tech to fix it, you can buy another 22inch for the same price and have a 5 year warrinty.

Sorry,
Have a nice day

The problem is in the power supply / inverter board, commonly caused by bulging capacitors at the top, "indicating they are open" the capacitors will need to be replaced to correct the issue.

One of the best places I have found (that I use) is Newark.com .

Check power supply section for bad caps with bulging top first, may be a sign of failing power supply: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Viewsonic%20VX2235W/

I repaired my VX2235WM that wouldn't turn the display on anymore (would accept a video signal for a PC, but no image would be shown) by replacing 5 stressed electrolytic capacitors on the power supply board.

Tricky one. Have you tried using different dispay resolutions from your Windows Display Control Panel?
ie 1200x1014, 1600x1400, etc.

When you say you used the manual adjust, do you mean the horizontal sync option?

Did you perform a Settings Recall?

And most monitors have a way of entering into an engineering "Factory Service Menu". Usually by depressing specific buttons while the monitor is OFF, and then pressing the power button while still holding the others. Then let all button go at once. From there, hit the normal button that you use for getting into the OSD. In the OSD, there's usually a new field with all kinds of cool new settings to play with. One of them being a soft reset. You'll have to search the net for how to enter into your Factory service menu.

Oh wait! I know!
If your picture has moved to the right, move yourself accordingly.
So that now you and your picture will be aligned properly.

He he he...
Kidding!
