Hanns-G HG281D

[Liquadia]

I am experiencing a problem with my Hanns-g Monitor and before I delve into opening it I would like to know what i should be looking for other than bulging caps.

Basically The monitors backight turns onand off it appears as I cant see nothing. Everything else works fine however i do notice that it flickers alot depending on what screen Resoloution its set at, the lower the less flicker the higher the more flicker sometimes its stable for ages then flickers and gets worse

At present its flickering quite a bit and going from 1920x1200 to 800x600 causes it to stay on and not flicker

What can i do about this! or look for

Is it a power issue

Please repost the question on Computer Display forum, you will also find tons of threads of this model.
That symtom is due to bad caps in the main board. Bad cap can look normal but can have high ESR. You should also replace all the caps in the power supply anyway.
See the pictures of the two caps here:

I had the same symptoms on a samsung monitor it was just bad caps.

Higher res takes more power. so you are probably hitting the stability wall with the bad caps at native res.

Good luck, Hope it is a simple fix.

Was this with the same model? was it the smaller of the caps you replaced or just ALL of them for the power supply
