Samsung 226BW shows blue powerlight and displays "digital/analog" search on the screen for a second or two. There is a gentle electrical "fizz" sound then the screen goes completely black. I replaced the power board, althoug no caps seemed bad visually, and the unit still had same symptoms. Next, I purchased the M220EW01 VO X PCB component (inverter?). Q: How do I attach it? The eight 8 Raydium plastic ribbon connectors on the old board seems to be glued to the gold contacts at one end and disappear into the panel at the other. Are they ironed on or something?

Your description suggests the fault is with the screen, not the system. Can you you test that by connecting both screens to a buddy's computer?

When first powers up display is fine suggests a bad solder joint, revealing itself after heating up.

hi dear

start your computer on safe mode and go to the display property change to as per mentioned rresolution on your screen.

best of luck

This model may have defective capacitors in the power supply. I normally replace the 2 or 4 bulging caps and normal function is restored.

This blue light flashing means there is power to monitor bu NO video signal. No Analog or digital Video . analog is the regular plug for PC to Monitor, the other is HDMI digital or other digital. Check signal digital/analog means again: No video signal from PC detected.

Hello cstafford35,

Your monitor has a very common problem. The internal power supply has blown a part called a capacitor. If you are comfortable working with electronics and with soldering I can talk you thru the diag/repair. If you are not ready to tackle that we also offer a repair service, about $30 plus shipping for your model. Let me know if you want to try fixing it yourself and we can go from there. The repair will require opening the monitor case and replacing from 2 - 5 parts. You can call me at 318-447-9040 if you have questions.

Sounds like the backlight's gone. You can try to open up the case and replace it, but an easier (and probably cheaper) option is to simply buy a new monitor

do a windows update

At first you should clarify if your GPU or LCD is broken.
Do You have any chance to try another monitor with your Graphicadapter or to try your monitor on a different PC?
Moreover you should try it with a new cable.

The symptom of weird symbols sounds most likely like a overheated or wrong-plugged Graphicadapter

consult a technician you could not do any thing for this fault

Hi, Normally I would suggest that you first lower your laptop's screen resolution, refresh rate and color quality and verify that you have enabled the external monitor or dual view in your Display Property Settings as well as the Fn key + F?. However, this kind of problem should not exist with an LCD Widescreen monitor with specs and features as your Samsung 226BW. If trying the reco on the first paragraph and you still have no movie display (but all other laptop display shows), perhaps it is a problem with the Samsung 226BW. To my knowledge, this particular brand/model uses no less than 3 different panel display, some not as good as the others. Verify that you have an original Samsung panel display in your Samsung monitor by looking at the sticker at the back of the screen, it should say Model: 226BW [R] S. If it says A or even a C, then perhaps the display panel is not living to its specs/claimed capacities. You of course can request a replacement from your dealer and cite your problem but insist that it be an "S". Most instances (but not always) an "S" would mean panel screen by Samsung, "A" by AU Optronics and "C" by CMO. Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.
