Proview Computers & Internet - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
Proview monitor, model 900P, product PL913s. I have it hooked up to computer and to power source, but can't get monitor to turn on. Something more needed beside the "power" button on right?
- Check the power cable: Make sure the power cable is properly connected to the monitor and to the power source.
- Check the video cable: Make sure the video cable is properly connected to the computer and to the monitor.
- Check the computer settings: Make sure the computer is set to the correct display settings for the monitor. You can typically do this by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Display settings."
- Check the power source: Make sure the power source is working and that there is no problem with the outlet or power cord.
- Check the power button: Make sure the power button on the right side of the monitor is not stuck and is functioning properly.
- Try a different cable or computer: If possible, try connecting the monitor to a different computer or cable to see if the issue is with the computer or cable.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a problem with the monitor itself

Monitor is blank
Most common failure in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, falied 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 monitors to get some ideas what goes wrong: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further.
Turn on the computer and
The simplest test would be to try another monitor. If it shuts off, the graphics card is overheating, or the PS in the computer, or the processor. If the result is that everything continues as it should, the original monitor is overheating or otherwise failing.
How do I fix a monitor
The age and much more power consumption and different dangerous places with high power ask for knowledge of focussing ,anode ,flyback (horizontal) and primairy rectification power on differend places , is not without danger , how to unload the display tube, and much more and in most case the line transformer flyback transistor and capacitor could be damaged. is not useful , a new monitor has more advantage and most of them are not to expensive to buy.
I have Monitor Proview PL916S 900P It turns on
spc12b, Have you tried the flashlight test yet? How old is this monitor? Your monitor has a 2 types of power supplys in it. A switch-mode-power-supply and an "INVERTER" supply. One or both of them could be having a problem. The inverter needs DC from the smps to change it into AC to light up the cold-cathode-fluorescent-tubes that are hung in back of the lcd panel. Let me know results of flashlight test. After screen goes black, hold light 1-2" from screen at different angles. Let me know if you still can see the win-desktop screen even though it is still dark.. Bye for now. louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel @aol.com
Power Surge damage. Suggestions on which part to replace.
I would start looking at the power supply, it's usually a separate board where the a/c line plugs into. In many cases i have seen that the problem you described is from a damaged power supply, sounds like something is shorting causing the power supply to continuously come on and off. I would first check the capictors to see if any of them have blown, usually cylinder looking and sometimes you'll see an X or a K at the top of the cylinder, if it's blown then the top will be bulging out instead of being flat. If all those look good then there is probably a short somewhere else like in one of the transistors, if so you'd be best to just find another power supply board to replace.

Hi,
I, too, was given one of these monitors. Using a flashlight shine it at an angle to the screen and see if you see a computer screen showing under the beam of the flashlight. If you see a picture then the backlight or its circuit is not working. Check to see that the 4 cables going to the LCD display are plugged in all of the way. There are plugs on each of the cables with 2 wires to each plug.
