HG281D Monitor Problem

[felstud]

Hello all,

I have a Hanns G 281D that I purchased about three years ago and now i'm currently having a problem with it. The monitor will not work under its normal resolution (1920x1200) without it being fully warmed up. In order for me to "warm up" the monitor I have to use 800x600 resolution and slowly increase the resolution over time. Once I finally get into 1920x1200 over several hours, I have to put a sweat shirt on the back side of the monitor otherwise the picture will go out. The normal blue LED light that shows when the monitor is on stopped a few months after I purchased the monitor so I am unable to tell if it is flashing. I opened up the back of the case to see if any capacitors were bad but I am unable to see any that are faulty. I'll post some pictures on this tomorrow. Does this sound like a capacitor problem to you guys?

Re: HG281D Monitor Problem

Not heard anything quite like that. It sounds as though it could be capacitors, but could be a cold joint depending on what you mean by "not work under its normal resolution"- doesnt come on at all, garbled screen, dark screen etc.may be the bulbs or associated wiring.
Cooking it under a sweatshirt will be doing it no good at all - you will be causing all the caps to deteriorate.
Look forward to the pics.
