    I-INC iF281D flickering-PC use only

    Hi, complete nube here. So I have a great Until recently monitor, but now while I am using it on PC, it flickers on all resolutions. My kids can play Playstation 3 no problems. Tried to replace video card and type of output, like PCIe slot, onboard video, VGA, DVI, HDMI. All same. PS3 works on HDMI.
    Also, this machine has to stay on all the time as the power button doesn't work consistently. Is this a guy-who-fixes computers can get a feel for and fix, or is it a send it out for fixing type deal? It was $350, but now similar by Hannspree is $200, so any help appreciated.https://www.badcaps.net/forum/images...s/feedback.gif

      If your power board looks anything like this Hanns-G 28 inch monitor, the most likely suspect are caps that are dried up, but not bloated. As the lcd warms up, the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the caps drops which allows the lcd to work. If the caps are "cold", they have high ESR. This explains why your monitor has to be on all the time.

      Many details in this mega thread ...

          Have you been able to try another monitor or tv on the PC seems odd it works on inputs from other sources.
          There is another thread where changing the resolution helped but I see you have tried that.
          Does the monitor get moved when used on pc as against PS3.
          Do you think the on/off switch problem is a faulty switch. Does is come on every time if you plug/unplug it.
          Is the flickering slight different shades of white or severe white to black.

          Is it connected using vga or dvi have you tried a new/different cable.
          Checked the cable for bent/ broken pins and dirt?
          Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

              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...

              The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.

              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...
