Re: dv 172 repair?

Thanks for all your help. I got it repaired ($120) and sold it....now I have a brand new ViewSonic VX922, much better...

Re: dv 172 repair?

Does anybody know how to open the case? I have rfemoved all visible screws but can't get the back cover off.

Mitsubishi's repairer quotes $200+ for repairing/replacing faulty board. Can anybody enlighten me about the possibility of doing the job myself or of getting spare parts (circuit board - the display itself has no faults).
Otherwise it seems a better option to buy a new display.
Thanks for comments/advice

my diamond view 172 monitor will not display anything for some 20 min or more after I turn the computer on (have tried two dt xp computers and a laptop). All it shows is a blinking light, yellow at first, green later at about 5 sec intervals. I have tried different power and video cables - no change.
Eventually it comes up with a normal boot and once it is running, goes on forvever without problems; rebooting is OK. I also noticed that the display does not show the NO VIDEO sign at first but if it is running and I pull the video cable, it does.
I suspect that the culprit is somewhere...
