NEC flatscreen monitor help Created 19 years ago2005-09-11 19:49:52 UTC by fate

I just bought this NEC MultiSync LCD1760V flatscreen monitor for $100
When i turn it on I can see the screen fine but after about 30 secounds it gos dark and i can basrly make out the desktop! does anyone know whats wrong?

Maybe a power save feature?

No, I turned of all the Energy start feturs but that diden't work

$100? Second-hand, or what?

sounds like a backlight problem. You may have a bad tube, or a loose wire, or maybe i'm totally wrong. but a lcd for $100?!?

A LCD for 100$?? Where'd you buy it?? Ebay?

Stop nagging about the cheapness of it, you intolerent bastards. Try to help instead.

fate: I would try contacting their customer support - if you indeed bought it secondhand, take it to a computer repair shop and have them diagnose(sp?) it.

Allright, whatever. Just do it as ZL says..

omfg! i thought this was some sort of practical joke! about 10 secs into reading the first post, my monitor blacked out
freaky or what!?!?

it turned out id just pulled the monitor cable out with my foot but still creepy

Mobile Phones save power by turning the lights off...
Computers have lights inside...
?100 computer screen = Cheap screen / maybe second hand, with a broken light inside.

Solution :

Contact technical Support
Try using a different LCD screen by borrowing it off a friend...
Get Nightvision goggles
Turn brightness to full...

Loffe, I think we all were commenting on the likely-dubious quality of something of that price. I certainly was.

habboi: $100. ~?50 (USD)!

Please, don't argue about CRTs vs. TFTs any more, just try and help fate, okay?

Now, let's wait for him to return and further enlighten us.

weird problem, you should do as others said (contact technical Support)

I got it from a local computer surplus store. And yes it was $100US.
It was new in the box. but they don't come with any warrenty. I belive the problum is the backlight. so am going to bring it to a repiar shop unless any one can tell me how to fix it myself.

well, to fix it yourself, if the light tube is burned out, you'd need another identical one. If its a loose wire... you could do it yourself with a screwdriver (probably). I've only been inside a laptop lcd, but from that experience, if you crack it open, be VERY careful with any boards that are attached directly to the screen itself.

The light tube itself should be easy to find, probably on the side of the screen. In the laptop I trashed, there were two wires going to it that were plugged into a circuitboard. if those are loose, that could be your problem. Hope that I helped somehow.

edit: if you have the money, take it to a repair shop, because if they screw up, they're liable. if you screw up, you're out $100.

I think i will go wiht the reapiar shop.. thanks guys
