I have a monitor that works fine most of the time, but will all of a sudden go all green or black. I smack the side a couple times and it works again. Should I open it up to see if anything is loose, or wait for my 10,000v gloves and fiberglass pole?

Hi Spacedye69!
Yes wear rubber gloves and a rubber boots with a nice trenchcoat made of rubber
Just kidding but take care there is lethal voltages in there so if you don't know what you are doing I say TAKE CARE!!
It could be anything, can be bad solder joint if the D-Sub is soldered right on the pcb but if there is no connector at the rear of your monitor you have to look elsewhere.
Not much

Re: Wacky monitor
Had a TV do that, eventually the sure way of fixing it; slapping it on the side, stopped working ;-)
So I opened it up and found a loose solder joint on the PCB attached to the neck of the tube, worked perfect ever since I resoldered that ;-)"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

Hi Everyone
Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.

The monitor is HP 27es LED Monitor

The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.
Sometimes need to power and off again to restore the display but... -
Good evening, gentlemen.
I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.
To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.

Looking through my repair pictures and notes, it's been a long time since I posted anything in the LCD monitors section. So here goes that.
I'm dedicating this thread to one of the very first LCD monitors I repaired (if not the first one), which was more than 10 years ago now. The monitor is a Wise Wing, model F199. It's a 19” CFL-backlit LCD. I got it for free off of Craigslist in 2009 from a guy, who said he bought it for cheap from Wallmart and the monitor worked only for a little less than 2 years before quitting.
When I saw the Craigslist post, I wasn't... -
