    Amptron A170E1

    Hello everyone. Has anyone ever heard of a monitor named Amptron? The model is A170E1 and I am having an intermittent back light. Sometimes it will work for months and other times just for a few hours or minuets. Thanks for the help.

    So it's Baroque? Sorry about that. I'll get Bach to the monitor now.

    Treat it like any other intermittent. Don't bother looking for bad solder joints, assume that any of them in the usual locations (transformers, components on heat sinks) are suspect and touch them up. Also, the leads to the CCFLs are notorious for intermittent connections at the ends of the tube.

              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...

              Hi Everyone

              Lately I am experiencing the deja-vu incident on one of the led monitor like this.
              https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...lashing-on-off

              The monitor is HP 27es LED Monitor

              The monitor will randomly blackout and display no signal and will recover again.
              Sometimes need to power and off again to restore the display but...

              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...
