Re: Asus VH242H with a white flicker.

So I'm not sure the format of how this is supposed to be listed, but testing the voltage regulators on the mainboard I came out with this:

regulator markings:
L281 ------- Line 1
G1084-33 - Line 2
Pin 1: 0
Pin 2: 3.29
Pin 3: 4.94

Regulator markings:
210140LA -- Line 1
9T9030K --- Line 2
Pin 1: 3.29
Pin 2: 0
Pin 3: 1.19

From what I understand the first one is a fixed regulator and seems to be operating correctly. The second one however is interesting......

Re: Asus VH242H with a white flicker.

So I put the boards back into the monitor and fired it back up to try to troubleshoot a little. The screen only flickers on the dark colors, I can see no problems when I change it to a pure white background. If I have a black background it will flicker a white color, and then if I right click to bring up a menu, everything directly above and below the menu will look fine, while the flicker/distortion happens all around the vertical stripe where ever the menu is.

I know some of these are sloppy.. but it's the best I can do with my bad camera and shaky hands. Let me know if you need a close up of anything in particular....

Re: Asus VH242H with a white flicker.

I will put up pictures as soon as I can, I still have the entire thing dismantled on my workbench. I've got little experience in these things but I know how to solder, re-flow joints etc. I can use a multimeter well enough to determine if my reading matches what I'm supposed to see. I don't have enough experience in electronics to often venture a guess as to WHY the readings are wrong. As for the warranty, I picked this up off of Ebay a while back, and it was working fine for a while. I'm not sure that it's still under warranty (manufactured...

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

I literally JUST fixed this problem on my 225BW. The longer you wait to fix it the longer it takes to turn on, and its frustrating to have to push the power button a hundred times in 20 minutes. The problem was the capacitors, on mine I had 6 caps that were bad, one was to the point of leaking. On the schematics it shows 3 caps near the transformer so I ordered 4, but when I opened mine up it was slightly different, with a total of 5 820uf25v caps and 1 320euf25v(I think this was the other one) that had blown out. So definitely open it up before you...

So as the title describes I have an ASUS VH242H 24" monitor that has begun to flicker. The initial power up shows a crisp picture and looks fine. After a few minutes you begin to notice the screen flickering, almost looks like horizontal waves scrolling down the screen. It doesn't transform the entire image to white though, it seems like only the dark content of the screen flickers to white. (maybe it's just more noticeable in the dark places because of the color contrast). Its worst in the top left corner of the screen, and almost unnoticeable on the opposite end of the monitor. As the set...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey folks!
My name is Andrew and I'm from Virginia. Mostly I've done small bits of tinkering and I am very novice. I've worked as a construction worker for years, done some wiring and very little with electronics short of putting together computers. When it came to the circuits, I would just buy a whole new one instead of troubleshooting what was wrong with mine. Lately I've begun soldering and testing and whatnot, coming to this forum quite often to read other people's experiences and get some insight. I decided it was...
