Re: HP ZR2740W Monitor Bad Caps?

Doesn't the power LED automatically turn off after a set interval though? It works fine when I turn on the monitor then the LED automatically goes off. I can't really confirm that because I have never watched it go off before or timed it so I will have to check on that.

A lot of people replaced caps on it and fixed the complete failure of the screen after the monitor only being out a short time. I was hopping this issue was along the same lines.

The LED isn't on when it happens.

Re: HP ZR2740W Monitor Bad Caps?

Their idea of warranty is ridiculous. I keep my monitors in top notch quality and they send me this [URL="http://zopsi.com/broken.jpg"]http://zopsi.com/broken.jpg[/URL]. That just shows the biggest error. It also had fingerprints all over it, dents in the back, the dvi-d cable barely went in because of dents. Then it had a similar issue but just shut down.

So I requested another one and got something in bad condition again. I had to keep escalating until I got one of equal condition to the one I sent in. It took 2 weeks...

Hey guys,

I'm new here and I need some help identifying what exactly is causing this.This is the second time I have had problems with this monitor and I suspect bad caps. The monitor is an HP ZR2740W LED backlit IPS display. It is connected to an EVGA GTX 580 through a DVI-D cable. It goes black for a second or two then comes back and repeats at random intervals sometimes going black for as long as 10 seconds. Attached is a video of the issue. I was on eevblog at the time and they referred me to here. I thought it could be the video card, but this seems more likely with the monitors...
