Re: Viewsonic VX2235WM - blank screen on/off

One more item I am not sure I mention it or not. After I notice the black screen; I turn off the monitor and power it back again and then it works for awhile and then went black again. I am not sure this is an indication of something else is wrong! Thanks.

Re: Viewsonic VX2235WM - blank screen on/off

I try to further taking the sheet metal apart but I didn't make it far enough to see the fluorescent tubes. So, I am not sure there is any dimming around the lamps? Here are more pictures of the PCBA. Thanks....

Re: Viewsonic VX2235WM - blank screen on/off

Thanks for your help. I didn't see the two covers over the neck supporting bracket. Once I pull those out everything is easy.

I checked the pcb and didn't notice any swollen caps. Am I looking the right parts? I can only counted 12 brown caps in the pcb. Any suggestion on what to check next? I have a voltmeter should I be checking for any values between each of those caps? Thanks....

Re: Viewsonic VX2235WM - blank screen on/off

budm,

I tried taken off the base and ply on the taps in the bottom of the frame. So far I only have the 3 taps from each sides pop opened. The middle section appears to have screws in the middle holding the frame together. I try removing the base arm but w/o luck. Please any one out there can share some light on this topic so I can take the housing apart? Thanks a bunch!

Again I have the VX2235WM-3

Re: Viewsonic VX2235WM - blank screen on/off

Have not dis-assemble the housing yet so I am not sure any caps have domed out? So, I should follows your instruction for the WM-3 and ply out the speaker grill to starts, yes? If you can be so kind please point me to the right direction to start taking the unit apart? Thanks.

Re: Viewsonic VX2235WM - blank screen on/off

Thanks for those photos; my unit is the one in last set of your photos. VX2235WM-3; model #-VS11446. Since I am not an electronic tech and I am looking for an easy way out. Should I go ahead to replace those caps and take a chance to see will it taken care of my problem? While I was surfing the web I also find a better repair kit for less money.

Hello All, good to learn that there are people like you guys out there! I am a handyman but new to electronics. This is an area I try to stay away. Stated yesterday while working on my pc my VX2235WM went blank on me. The LED stay blue but no picture; as I move the mouse around I notice a white line pops in/out horizontally on the screen. I have checked all connections and they are fine. Same thing happen to a laptop I hookup to the monitor. While I check on line there are many suggestions about the problem with the power inverter.
