    Sceptre X240T-1920 24"

    Hi everyone,

    This monitor is new in 8/2009, has been working great until yesterday when I came home to a black screen with the power button flashing (Blue).

    I tried on different computers in case of a video card problem same issue. I cant find much information on this monitor that is helpfull.

    I tried the flashlight trick and could not see anything. If I turn it off and on I can see the computer booting up but the screen goes blank in a second at most, so I keep hitting power button off and on and can see different phases of the computer starting.

    If I just unplug then plug it back in and turn on power I can see (2) slight flashes of light but never a picture.

    So any thoughts would be very appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Drew

    I can make some suggestions
    There a lot of reasons for your monitor behaving like you describe
    Depending on how the monitor was designed, there is a possibility you may be experiencing what we call 2 seconds to black. I have worked on some Dell monitors that have had something causing the CCFLs to turn off [ Bad capacitors, CCFL or, Inverter coil bad] this occurs rather rapidly in other words faster than 2 seconds, and goes into a standby mode. I am sure there are others that behave the same way. If you're able to follow the guide that Retiredcaps has written about 2 seconds to black it probably would be a good place to start.
    Without seeing what you're working with it's going to be hard for anyone to make suggestions.
    It really makes thing easier if the pictures are not posted inline.
    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

      Any chance that it's still under warranty? If not, then you'll have to take apart and post some good focused photos, top and bottom, of the entire power supply.

          HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
          by momaka
          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...

          AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
          by wattage
          Hello Badcaps Community,

          I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

          The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

          by ant3202
          Hi Everyone

          Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...lashing-on-off

          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...

          LG 23MP55HQ LED Monitor turns off after a few seconds or flickers.
          by Rick_1234
          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.

          Wise Wing F199 19'' LCD monitor - recapped
          by momaka
          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...
