    Viewsonic VA2026w glitching 2" from right side

    Hi Everyone!

    This is my first time posting but hopefully I can give you as much information as you might need to help diagnose the issue.

    My Viewsonic VA2026w monitor started acting up a few months ago. It would slowly cause a stutter on the right side of the monitor. It made a line about 2 inches wide from top to bottom that would flicker. From the video and pictures below, you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. Here is what I noticed so far:

    If the monitor is turned off after being powered down for more than 5 minutes, it looks fine until the monitor heats up from normal use. Nothing felt hot or out of the ordinary but the problem does go away temporarily if I turn it off for a few minutes. I opened the monitor last night and all of the caps looked fine and nothing was oozing out. I pulled all of the ribbon cables and cleaned them before putting them back. I would have taken more pictures but I thought by cleaning the ribbon cable I would be good to go so I put it back together. This is also before I found badcaps.net today. I can get more pictures if needed.

    We prefer that the pictures are hosted here and not posted inline for a number of reasons.

    Post top down view pictures of your all boards (both sides) following the instructions below exactly.

    If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

    We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

    Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

      First, the housekeeping details, and the 'not so bad' news. The site owner prefers that pictures be hosted onsite. This avoids the problem in this post. For a number of reasons (popups, trojans) many members will not attempt to view pictures hosted offsite.

      Now for the bad news. The symptoms you describe indicate a driver issue on the tcon (panel board) or a tab bond issue on the LCD panel itself. You can check the tab bonds by squeezing on the monitor frame in the area above the problem. If it goes away, it's a tab bond problem. You can try inserting something to increase the pressure (one person reported success with vinyl bumpers), but in general repair results are poor.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

        Thank you for the responses! I will make sure I post all my future posts with pictures in accordance to the method this site allows.

        I will try adding a "bumper" later this week and let you know if I get the results I am after. Thanks for the tip!
