    VA1912wb issue

    My Viewsonic VA1912wb monitor has recently come up with the most annoying problem. The blue contrast/brightness dialogue box has appeared and - despite all efforts on my part - will not go away. The damned thing sits smack in the middle of the screen, while the "highlighter" bounces back and forth between the brightness and contrast buttons. All the manual buttons at the bottom front are okay; none of them appear to be stuck.

    I am not a "tecky"; and hope to hear of a non-technical solution to this problem.

    Otherwise, the monitor is in good working order.

      Re: VA1912wb issue

      Moved from FAQ. Please don't post questions there.

      as for your problem, it sounds like a bad microswitch. you can confirm this by opening the LCD case and using a multimeter to see what that switch is doing. It it is indeed shorted, buy a replacement on digikey/mouser/newark and happy soldering.

      (if that is too tech of an answer, then get a new monitor or have a tech fix it. there is no other way)

      PS- You misspelled "Vancouver" in your location. If I were you, I'd fix that.

          Here is the service manual


          page 7 onwards has detail of the button functions.
          When the osd is not on the screen try the factory reset for brightness/contrast then follow by the shortcut to lock the osd.

          Dont know if that will work but shouldnt do any harm.
          Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

              Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54. displays on the external monitor and works fine, the issue is NO display on the internal screen
              by DqMagetz
              Good day!
              I have a customer's laptop — Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 (EH5VF - LA-H501P). It has a display on the external monitor and it's working fine, but the issue is NO display on the internal screen. I already replaced the eDP cable and checked the LCD connector pins.

              Here are the voltage readings:
              • Input – 19V (stable)
              • +LCDVDD – 3.3V briefly, then drops to 0V
              • EDP_HPD – 3.3V briefly, then drops to 0V
              • PCH_BKL_PWM – 2.2–5V briefly, then drops to 0V
              • EC BKOFF# – 1.8V briefly, then drops to 0V
              • PANEL_OD_EN – 0.3V

              Is it possible that the EC chip is corrupted or damag...

              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...

              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.

              by FercHeliX
              Hi
              There's this old LG 1510S LCD Monitor that had 2 issues, one with inverter board and one with image display (mainboard maybe), the issue with the inverter was that when i turned it on it goes off after 1 or 2 secs. and the problem was with the tuner caps on inverter board, after i changed the caps monitor stays on but there's another problem that if I turn it on by the power button, no signal message does not show on the screen, but if I let it stay on and disconnect by the power cable and connect it again the no signal message will appear, and one more thing...the 12V power is 17V before...
