Re: ENVISION EN9410e 19" Monitor

Thanks Chuck, that is helpful. I am having trouble finding a local repair geek, the one that I was told about by the guy who gave me this monitor in the first place claims that they do NOT do repairs, they send them out, with a 6-8 week time frame between shipment and RESPONSE, never mind how long it will take them to finish the rotten thing.

I need to make a couple more phone calls, but it is looking more and more like I am going to have to do it myself or use it for target practice.

I will be in touch in that...

Re: ENVISION EN9410e 19" Monitor

I [I]told[/I] you I was chicken, I put it all back together already and stuck it back on the shelf.

I am going to take it to one of our local tech joints and get a quote before I dive into it much further than I already did. If they can/will fix it for $25 I will let them. It will be less unpleasant than listening to my wife rag on me about destroying HER monitor. Even though I never told her I would give it to her even if it worked. I know how she is.

Is that aluminum tape something that HAS to be there,...

Re: ENVISION EN9410e 19" Monitor

SO, it turns out I am chicken. I removed the back cover of the monitor, and found that everything is concealed behind metal plates and aluminum tape of some variety, over the course of 30 minutes, I removed two strips of tape and three metal plates, only to find that there is another layer of metal brackets and clear plastic sheets taped and screwed into various places.
I was unable to see any of the actual circuitry components as all the boards are installed comp. side down.
This would mean dismantling EVERY seperate bracket...

So, I am Monitor illiterate, it is the one area of a computer system that I have never played with, primarily because this is the first time I have had one that seemed to be worth saving that didn't already work just fine.

Anyway, I got this monitor from a guy, as-is, and he told me some tech told [I]him[/I] it was a $25 fix, but couldn't remember what the fix actually was. So I figured I would come here and see if it was identifiable by y'all without having to pay some tech a diagnostic fee as well as a repair fee. Maybe even fix it myself if it is a relatively simple repair....
