Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW



I've heard that as well. I have two of these 245BW displays (one broken) and that loud crack happens occasionally with one of them (the one that works, incidentally.) The loud crack is probably caused by expansion/contraction of mechanical components as the display radiates heat. It does not appear to be related to the electronics; if any of the small electrical components ever made a noise that loud it would mean catastrophic failure and would never repeat....

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

I too have a broken syncmaster 245bw. Symptoms; no picture, blue power LED lit solid when a signal is present and flashes otherwise, host detects EDID from display.

More than enough info in this thread to begin troubleshooting. I'll post what I find.
