Good morning friends,
I was given an Acer AL1715 last night that was supposed to not work. However when I plugged it in to my surprise it did! Except that after about 5 seconds the display turned to black.
1. power was still on, green led still lit
2. Back lighting? (I don't think that this is the root of anything)
3. Can't access the menu options at all
4. Changing screen resolution and refresh rate has no effect
5. If I unplug it, wait a few seconds and plug back in it will work for another 5 seconds.
6. #4 is true even if I try to access the menu settings immediately after plugging in and trying during the initial 5 seconds
7. I opened it up and examined the caps, none had any visible sign of failure.
I think that is all I know for now.
