    Advice on warranty for hannspree 25 inch monitor

    ok, i was searching google for the sku of my hannspree hf257hpb monitor and saw this group. read through a thread
    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14768
    of 2 seconds to black which was similar to my issues.

    i am not qualified to make repair on my monitor, but since it is only 2 years old, it would be under the 3 year warranty from hannspree. However, they limit the 3 year warranty as follows:
    1-Year limited warranty on LCD/Backlight from original date of purchase

    since i am having the 2 seconds to black, and can see images using a flashlight,
    i am asking your groups honest opinion if the repair on my monitor would fall under the LCD/Backlight issue, or would it be under another issue which would hopefully be under the 3 year warranty. i do not want to ship to them and then tell me it is $150 to repair cause my issue is not under the 3 year warranty.
    thanks

    They really covered their butts with that 2-faced warranty. There's really no definite answer for a few reasons:

    1) if the ccfl's or LCD panel have gone bad, then yes, game over and you're SOL.

    2) does the "backlight" also included the inverter portion? From the link you gave, it appears that the inverter assembly is part of the power supply board. Say, for example, one of the inverter transformers is bad, then would the warranty exclude the replacement of the power supply board?

    3) the mainboard sends a signal to the inverter assemby to turn on the ccfl's. If the main board is bad, then that would probably be covered under the warranty.

    4) Let's not forget that the power supply supplies voltage to drive the inverter section. If the power supply output is not working properly, then no backlights. Of course, these guys can claim point #2 above.

    The only way you can verify any of the above is to take apart the monitor, which probably voids your warranty. With the way the warranty is currently written, you're putting your trust in Hannspree 100%, which would be foolish. They can easily claim a backlight problem and be done with you because you'd have no proof otherwise.

        i am literally backed up at my job with 3 to 6 months of work.
        it would be foolish of me to attempt any repair also because i am an amateur
        with no experience (soldered a few items over the years but they looked
        pretty bad after finishing)
        if someone here would like to attempt a repair, i can ship the item to them.
        alternatively, i can sell the bad unit at a cheap price.
        still have the original box and shipping materials so it should arrive in good condition.

        i'll sell the bad unit for $40 shipped
        alternatively, if you are out of work and can prove it to me somehow i will ship the bad unit to you for free.

          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...

          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 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...
