Hi all

I've got a 4 years old viewsonic 17" LCD.

It was all ok this morning until 10mins ago.

I restarted the computer 10 mins ago and the screen stays lit for around 3 seconds then it goes full dim.. I can barely see anything... I can't see where my mouse is move to at all.

I turned the LCD off and back on, again, it goes ok for few seconds then it goes full dim again..

Does anyone know what the problem is? Do I need a new LCD?

Thanks in advance

Wayne.
 
Are the cables in securely, also does it do it only when its in Windows, or even in BIOS? Could be power management setting the LCD to 0%? Or it could be bad display drivers, or LED Backlights.
 
actually, i just tried it again in bios. it goes black out in 1 sec.

it was ok for 10-15mins this morning when i turned it off for few hours... could it be a over-heat problem?

or time for a new one? :)
 
so def nothing wrong with the video card right?? coz i am using duo view and the 22" is fine..

i'll just get another 22" one then...lol
 
Well there you go!

Unfortunately by the other monitor working correctly you ruled out every other possibility. Good luck shopping for a new monitor, if you need help looking for one i would be glad to help you out
 
hi, thanks for you help!

i've got a 22" asus vw222 atm... i am using duo view for multi-tasking.
i don't play a lot of games.. only some mini flash games online.
using it mostly for web browsing and ms office.
any suggestions apart from asus?

kinda disappointed with viewsonic.. coz my older 15" one still works and the 17" died so quickly.....
 
ok, got another new 22" asus.

just have a quick question about my broken monitor.

coz what happened was i relocated my computer to my study room and i end up mixing my power cords with my old asus 22" with my 17" viewsonic and the power cord for my desktop.

does the cords have anything to do with it? would it be not enough power for the 17" viewsonic that's why it goes full dim?

Cheers.
 
it doesnt matter... i have an idea as to what might be happening. my best mate's TV sometimes shuts off when starting "cold". i think what happens is that the LED in it has to warm up, so we just have to turn it back on when it turns off. its a 61" widescreen DLP.

so just try turning it back on when it turns off, thats all :)
 
but its something that never happened before, and im reasonably sure he tried just leaving it to see if it would come back up...
