I have a gateway desktop monitor with the model number FPD 1960 TFT LCD COLOR MONITOR. The power does not come on after you switch on. When I opened and checked I discovered that power does not go into the low voltage area from the high voltage area. Again I saw two swollen capacitors in the low voltage area. I wonder where the problem is.

There is main power fuse in the power supply module, but if the screen flashes on for seconds, then the problem is in the inverter board due to bad caps (very common in this model): http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Gateway%20FPD1830/

Hope my information will help you out.

threw it in the garbage.

Send the monitor. It's a power supply problem. My 15.4" LCD has the problem, too, whenever I move the monitor down, it powers off, and the menu disappears as well, but I'm going to fix the screen.

yes.. Check to make sure your wires are in good working order, check for loose pins, and make sure there aren't any kinks / tears / breaks in the shielding for the monitor cable.

Also, make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card, and that someone hasn't tampered with any color settings on the monitor / graphics setting software (nVidia allows me to adjust color for each individual color... i.e. red, green, blue.. )

Also, i have seen times where KVM's have caused the color to be off. even after removing the monitor from the KVM and testing a new monitor on the KVM, after detaching the KVM, and allowing it to reset (1 minute no power) then reconnecting it with all 4 PC's turned off, the issue went away.


To Recap:
1) Make sure monitor settings are at factory default
2) test the monitor on another PC, if good step 3
3) test different monitor on affected PC, if good, step 4
4) be sure your software settings work for your monitor, and all cables are secure, and free of defects such as kinks, broken shielding, broken wires within the shielding, missing / bent / broken / loose coonector pins.

If all abouve test show the monitor is good on one PC, and bad on another, replace your graphics card to see if this solves the problem, if so, your card may be faulty

from [email protected] I need a power cord for fpd 1960 where can i find thes parts?

It sounds like the monitor whose writing comes up in pink has a problem with the RGB usually IC driven and all of them sound like they have faulty power supply boards. Will investigate further and give a more detailed answer. Hope this helps for the time being.
