    LG W2442PA LCD monitor flickers when cold

    Hello,

    I have a strange problem with LG W2442PA LCD monitor - it is working fine, but if you leave the PC to switch off the monitor into power saving mode and you leave it like that for some 3-4 minutes (enough for the monitor to cool down), and then you wake it up - the monitor will flicker (just like 60Hz on CRT) for 15-20 sec. and then will return back to normal operation. The same can be reproduced if you simply turn off the display by using the on/off switch on the monitor for some 3-4 minutes after it heated up.

    It would never flicker when being used intensively (i.e. if you not let it enter in power saving mode to cool down or turn it off manually for some time and).

    Please advise!

    Thanks in advance for your time spent!

      Well this is just a guess, but it seems to me that the large primary cap is bad. When the monitor is cold, it has a very low capacitance, which is causing the 60Hz mains frequency to interfere with the DC output of the power supply. As it warms up it's capacitance goes back up and then the mains frequency is blocked properly.
      It could easily be something else though....
      Crack it open and take some pictures for us, and then people will be able to help you better.

          No, there are no other issues except for the flicker...

            Open it up to get a visible check on caps
            A couple of pictures if possible will help if its not the caps

              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.

              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...

              The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.

              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...
