    Off topic, but...

    Where can I find said Dead LCD's that you guys seem to run into all the time? I would love to find a dead LCD to fix and use as a monitor, I love my huge Trinitron CRT to death but I wouldn't mind an LCD for my secondary monitor. I posted an ad on Craigslist, any more suggestions?

    Seems a lot get them as non working cast offs...or via the dumpster....
    Seems a lot have inverter problems so I guess ask your friends or got dumpster diving
    (like find them on the street)

    Me I haven't got one yet either...
    had a nice 21" Sony CRT but think its got a dud $100 AU chip...you can buy the whole thing for around that...

    So back to 17" CRT's (suppose thats better the 15" I was using LOL)

    Cheers and good luck

      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...

      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...
