I figure this is a good place to post. Well here's a short story. bought this unit from best buy in a replacment ace monitor that lasted 2 days then smoked. hahaha. It's a westinghouse 19" wide screen. Realy nice moniter. Well it quit working. Tryed to take it back to best buy but they mest up the recieped and i gues technicly i stole this moniter cause all the reseip shows is the old monitor and they can't help me. Well i quit shoping there.
Anyway this moniter powers up. And loses picture in 2 seconds. Vary's now and then. I leave it set for a month it'll stay on for at least 5 min. every time i change any settings like the res, pixles, or anything in the display settings in my comp...it'll pop back on for a few seconds and go back off. Light stays green. Then eventualy goes into standby. And before you ask yes i have read just about every post in here tonite about westinghouse problems. And i got gutsy and opend it. And honestly it still looks new. No discolor anywere on the board. And all the capaciters look great. No baldgy ones that is. And i can't afford another monitor. Got laid off two weeks ago. enough of the sob story..lol. I just figured i would try to fix it. The monitor i use now has always been my back up...but it's old...not sure how much longer it has so i would like to keep it as a back up...lol Any sugestions? I will snap some pictures tommorow if i need to.
thanks.
