Per the first hit on Google for 'viewsonic fades white', http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=A68BB7FE4AF6EC93EB730E8588C865A2?topicId=4064461903&sid=1
(which you should go on and read in another tab,) you need to contact Viewsonic about an inverter board (for the CCFL backlight) or switching your backlight to LED while spoofing the INVERTER_OK signal to keep the display from giving up as it does.

So...this should be a hint that you should respect others' time (or be moved to increase usability) better by searching for cures in similar Viewsonic monitors, and of course checking the obvious search terms. Viewsonic evidently has a nifty knowledge base available for all on the web, so that one would be a nifty surprise.

Viewsonic va2431wm monitor, lCDd slowly fade from normal screen to white. The monitor turns on but only get white screen, no color. Open monitor, nor bad capacitors. Why no picture?

Hello, unfortunately this is usually due to hardware problem, In this specific situation it is most likely the problem with lcd panel itself (electronic on panel). Sometimes it can work after the units becomes cold (not working for some time) and you power it on again.
Anyway if you are not familiar with electronics , please visit proper service center, due to the high voltage inside.
Hope this helps.

Fading colour

If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years.
Take it to a repair shop.

White horizontal lines flicker and screen goes off.

check the wiring inside the monitor, pull the sceen out and move the wires with the screen on so you can see when it's working. then tape the wires where it works.
