I have an Acer Al2216W that has been working fine until this afternoon. We did have a power outage for about 2 hours before the problem occurred. It will not power up on my CPU or my wifes CPU yet her monitor power up fine on my CPU. Is there a fuse or reset button somewhere for me to check? Thanks

SOURCE: HOW CAN I TAKE OUT THE MONITOR BASE FROM THE MONITOR ACER

remove the hinge cover, then remove the six screws you see there. Then the base slides out.

Is the line still there if you unplug the monitor from the PC and bring up the onscreen display or menu? If so the LCD panel is likely bad, and would be replaced if under warranty. If the line is not there you can try to replace the VGA or DVI cable that connects the LCD to the PC. You can also connect the LCD to another PC and see if the lines are still there to make sure it is not the graphics card on the PC.

Hello,

Slow starting, no power or a flickering display are all indications of a failing power supply. Check out this article on our web site at: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/repairing-the-acer-al2216w-lcd-monitor/ The power supply board in your monitor should be the DAC-19M010. To correct the problem you will need to replace the capacitors that are failing. You will need to replace 7 capacitors on the board. This does involve a bit of soldering but is an easy thing to do. If you don't want to do the repair yourself we do offer a repair service, you can get the details of that here: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/service-request-form/ If you have any questions just let us know.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

Look for bad caps first, worst case will be bad IC/MOSFET in the inverter circuits which will need in-depth component level troubleshooting.

You may have dead power supply due to bad DC filter caps, that will be the first place to check, in-depth troubleshooting required.
If you are going to DIY and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed ACER and other monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.
