Purple screen vertical lines picture comes & goes
I would suggest that You should check
your monitor with another PC. If it still has the same problem, there will be something wrong with your monitor.
Using these following steps to examine your monitor. After you turned
PC on and monitor went purple, you have to check that if you can
see the image on the screen or
not by shining a flashlight into the screen, not directly but find the
best
angle to the screen and take a look very closely. If you can see the
icons or
any image, there will be a minor problem. This is because of the lamps
inside
screen. Some of them were broken and it is very easy to replace. If you
cannot
see anything on the screen, there'll be some problems with inverter
board. If you
have soldering tool and want to fix it by yourself, check the caps first. It
may cause this problem. Some caps might show leaking or burn spot on the board
because of too high temp. If you don't have soldering tool, you better go get a
technician to do so.
Hope this help!! If anything I can help you with, feel free to let me know.
Thank
you,
TV won't turn on
Hello Marie,
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Most tv's do have an internal fuse, so if you open the chassis (which is the back part of the tv and slide it out and away from your circuit boards) the fuse will be located where the cord comes into the circuit board. Look for burnt or scorched spots on your circuit board also while you have the back off. I am sorry to say that most often than not in cases of lightning strikes the damage is expensive to repair and replacement of the devices is usually cheaper. Since the strike got a lot of your devices, it is not looking good. If you have further questions or need more assistance please let me know and I will be more than happy to help.
If you do not mind please rate my help, I would appreciate it. Thanks
Do plasma televisions need to be recharged regularly?
Try putting a fan on the back of the tv to see if it is getting better. If it does then you probally have a board that is overheating. If that is the case then CAREFULLY !!! remove the back and place where you can turn on and safely access the open back NO TOUCHING STUFF !!! Mabey lay it face down on a glass table or lay it on a table with 25% hanging over the edge to see the screen. Then take a COLD blow dryer and blow it on the boards to find out which one makes it get better. If one does then it will probally be your problem board. Make extremely sure that is the one before removing it by blowing from all angles on the boards around it without air hitting the suposed problem board. Then try a little hot air to see if that starts the problem on that board so you can be sure. Of course check the surrounding and offending board several times to be sure before removing.
Looking for driver for 15" LCD Television - Model: FLM-1511
Hi Billy.
You don't normally need drivers for a monitor of this size.
The most common cause of of this problem is that your old monitor was set to a lower resolution than this monitor is designed to support.
LCD monitories have a 'native' resolution meaning that the screen itself is made up of 1280 x 768 liquid crystal cells.
You need to change the screen resolution to 1280 x 768;
assuming you are using Windows XP click with the right mouse button an an empty part of the desktop and select Properties (or click Start, then click Control Panel then click Display), on the Settings tab, under Screen resolution, drag the slider bar until it says 1280x768 and then click Apply.
Post back if you still have the same problem after this.

Horizontal lines on lcd screen
Weirdguy250,
-Try connecting the display to another computer, if the follows the display chances are good its a problem cable inside or more likely the LCD panel itself going bad.
If the problem stays with the computer:
-Try reseating your video card.
-Unplug, inspect and reattach your video cable. Check both ends if possible and pay special attention to any bent pins.
Let us know if you have any other questions and please don't forget to rate this posting.
My Employer Says They Are Going To Cut My Wages. Can They?
If you are in the middle of a contract, then cutting your wages is almost certainly a violation of your employment law rights. While I am by no means an expert on this matter, I did have a similar issue years ago - mid-contract wage cuts - and I hired an
employment attorney to fight the case on my behalf. It turned out that my employer was basically looking to scare people into taking the wage cut.
They got into some pretty serious legal trouble for their transgression, and nothing happened to me in terms of wage cuts after that. If you are between contracts, your employer can re-negotiate your salary, but as far as I am aware, if you are in an agreed-upon contract, they cannot just decide to reduce your salary. If you want to settle matters, contest this action with support from a legal professional.
