Re: Bricked NEC PA241W-BK LCD monitor



Hi R_J:

It worked!!! But I have to admit I was skeptical at first -the reset procedure suggested earlier didn't do anything, so I really didn't expect much. But when I plugged in one end of the the USB cable into the monitor and the other one to my laptop and when the laptop recognized another USB device, it started to look much better. Then I did the firmware update - this time it completed flawlessly and the monitor is working. Thanks again for the tip and for saving me a couple of hundred of bucks :-)!...

Hello,

I tried to do a firmware upgrade in my NEC PA241W-BK LCD monitor via the USB port recently. Unfortunately, the upgrade failed during the process, and the end result is that the monitor is pretty much dead - it's not turning on.

I called NEC and they stopped servicing this particular model in October 2017. They are also not offering replacement parts for this model anymore.
Since the panel has about 3k hours on it, I'd like to at least try to get it fixed, assuming it would make sense from the financial standpoint.

According to a buddy...
