Hi,
I have an interesting problem with my Viewsonic monitor, that someone here might enjoy or know something about. I'd not very valuable, but as a matter of prinicple, I'd rather not throw it away since it works perfectly except for one thing.
From a fresh PC boot, the signal doesn't seem to be detected. If I turn off the monitor via the standby button and back on again, the monitor displays the image for a slightly longer time, even if it's almost impercetible. Repeating this proceedure up to 20 times, the image stays longer each time becoming long enough to be detected properly and stays permanently. At this stage, turning the monitor off and on again, results in normal operation.
The PC build is relatively new and overclocked. The motherboard, a P67, could do with a bit more power, only 4 of it's 8 power pins are connected. Everything worked fine for a number of weeks after the build and the voltages on the mobo seem stable, even when fully loaded. This leads me to believe that the mobo power is unlikely to be the problem.
It sounds to me like a capacitor / psu problem in the monitor. Like something isn't getting chance to fully charge, before it's power is being switched out, but I'm very interested in hearing any suggestions that people may have on how best to confirm the source of the problem and ideas on how to fix it.
Thanks for reading,
Craig.
