    AOC U27G3X strange burn-in

    I have an AOC U27G3X 4K gaming monitor that I use both as a TV and for gaming on a Nintendo Switch 2 console. Recently, something very strange has been happening to it. After playing a game that has an on-screen timer for a few minutes, the last digit of the timer (the one rapidly flickering from 0 to 9) appears to burn in on the monitor. Going to a different source or power cycling the monitor does not help; there is a constant flickering area on the screen where that digit was.

    It seems strange that only that digit would burn in, and NOT the other digits that are changing less frequently. Is there some setting I can change to avoid this happening, or is the monitor permanently damaged?

    Note: The flickering is much more noticeable on the camera than it is to the naked eye.

      Huh, very odd! I have no idea, sorry. Hopefully someone else knows... I'd be fascinated to learn the answer!

          ACER BM320 Monitor - Horizonal Flickering Lines After a While
          by reessi
          Hello,

          The monitor started off showing flickering thin (1 pixel) lines horizontally every say 3mm..

          They are black on the right and gradually fade to nothing on the far left.
          They start either after 5 mins or up to 2 hours after so annoying for testing.
          They flicker continuously very fast! With a slight pause milli-second every second.

          Initially I cleaned the LVDS cable and connected to the T-Con and then it worked fine for 3 weeks but not sure if this was just co-incidence.

          I tested each half by removing the first the left flex from...

          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...

          Dell monitor PSU vs Dell laptop PSU
          by keepread
          Hi there!
          Someone gave me their old monitor, it's Dell S2715ht.
          The owner was using it when his PSU began to smell and then to smoke. It literally began to melt. He turned the monitor off, pulled the PSU, and ditched it because it was smelly even after it cooled. So I got the monitor but not the plug.
          Now, I tried to bring the monitor back to life, by plugging one of my many Dell laptop PSUs. They are of the same 19.5V, and the wattage of the laptop PSU is higher than that which the monitor is rated for. Visually, the socket on the monitor seems compatible, and the plug plugs...

          ASUS TUF VG32VQ monitor, T-con(31M02-C01 CTRL BD) or panel malfunction?
          by technonenehno
          Hello everyone!
          As mentioned in the topic i am debugging a VG32VQ monitor which has a quite curios issue. For starters the backlight is working, the mainboard is also working and audio is being normally played thru the speakers. The problem of the monitor is that the screen is always blank(you can see the backlight turns on since the screen brightens a little bit but still black). When plugged into a computer the monitor is detected and HDMI signal is being broadcast to the monitor(checked with a data analyzer). The monitor panel should not be damaged but i am open to this option.

          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...
