    VP2030b Flickering

    The VP2030b is a great monitor that I don't want to give up. I also have a newer VG2428wm that just doesn't compare.

    My VP2030b started flickering last year but only when the screen was mostly white. When I changed the display to mostly dark, the flickering stops. Then after extended use, the screen would go black for a few seconds and then return to normal for several minutes. This repeating black out pattern would continue until I turned the monitor off for a while as if to let it cool down. The monitor returns to normal after restarting but eventually goes back to flickering and then the eventual brief black outs.

    I've disassembled the monitor and examined the board, but I'm not sure if capacitors are the problem. None are apparently bulging. Are there other possible explanations or is my next step to submit a few photos?

    Thanks for any help.

      1) Caps don't have to bulge in order to be bad.

      2) Yes, post clear focused top down view photos of all your boards following the instructions in my sig file below exactly.

      3) Do you have a multimeter and are you familiar with taking DC voltage measurements?

      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.

          ACER BM320 Monitor - Horizonal Flickering Lines After a While
          by reessi
          Hello,

          The monitor started off showing flickering thin (1 pixel) lines horizontally every say 3mm..

          They are black on the right and gradually fade to nothing on the far left.
          They start either after 5 mins or up to 2 hours after so annoying for testing.
          They flicker continuously very fast! With a slight pause milli-second every second.

          Initially I cleaned the LVDS cable and connected to the T-Con and then it worked fine for 3 weeks but not sure if this was just co-incidence.

          I tested each half by removing the first the left flex from...

          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...

          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...
