Samsung Syncmaster 173v monitor screen black with the power light flashing green have tried unplugging and plugging back in with no luck

Sorry it is like your monitor needs service. Electrolytic condensators in power supply need to be changed. Give it to an electronic shop, it is a job for a specialist.

Unlikely unless you discharged a large static shock into the connector as you were doing this. I have never seen a monitor or computer video port damaged by connecting the cable while power is on.

Try unplugging the power cable to the monitor for 10min or more and then reconnect and see if it starts to work.

please check your menu settings at your monitor and reset it to factory default,,, it seems the settings was config

You need a fluorescent back light and inverter kit. Available on eBay.

try to check your screen resolution maybe not compatible to your System. if green flashing there no signal from cpu to VGA cable monitor.

Monitor is definitely bad then, could be bad capacitors on the power board but getting it repaired at a shop would cost more then just buying a brand new monitor.

1. change the power supply out put capacitors.& main filter capacitor.

2. near 2 LOT 47mf / 250v cap.

3. degousing PTC

4. LOT

I've had a similar problem with my 173v monitor since I bought it a few years ago. When I start my computer, Mac or PC (I've connected it to both), the screen remains black and the green power light flickers once a second, almost like it's twitching - it's different from the blink it makes when the computer isn't turned on but the monitor is. Like kronem, I have to unplug the line from the monitor to the computer, wait for the monitor to register no input, and then plug the monitor in again before it displays anything. I've never figured out a way around the problem - I hate it!
