I need a CPU monitor repair.

[TAXMAN]

Ok. My Computer monitor is on the blink. It will not stay on. It will power up for about 1-2 seconds and then clicks off. I am borrowing a neighbors monitor untill I gte mine fixed. If you know how to work on them , or just know something about them let me know. If you tell me it's a lost cause, I will just look for another one.

Thanks
Johnny

TAX, Id say trash it, sounds like one or more transitors, or processors is having thermal issues. Monitors are cheap nowa days, I have a spare 15" you can have if you want.

Ok. Yea it sounds like it is snapping when it shuts down. I never had a problem until I tried to turn it on this morning. It's a 21" that I use for gaming. I hate to loose it, but I guess I'll have to get another one. And thanks for the offer of your spare. My neighbor is letting me use one of his. He works at MCI as a Netwok Eng. and does all thier repairs and programing at home. So he has lots of spare stuff. Thank god. So I am in the market for one I guess. If you want to just get rid of it let me know. Or at least really cheap. I just cant afford this kind of break down right now. I just had to put a new engine in my truck that bent a rod the week before Xmas. Great timing. So it kinda figures. My B-day is tomorrow, so I guess I am going to expect this kinda stuff all year. LOL

Going from a 21" to a 15" is radical, but youre welcome to it, you can use it till you get another one. No problem. It works just fine.

[TAXMAN]

Thanks Jim.
I'll let you know if I need it.

Take the monitor and kick it. Does nothing for the monitor, but makes You feel a heck of a lot better. :-D
But then again it took me a while to figure out with "boot up the computer" they meant for me to switch it on. :o

LOL. I used to be the same way. I built my existing system myself. I just dont know anything about Monitor repair.

what is the brand? Maybe its under warranty. Most monitors have a 3 year warranty for CRT and 1yr for flat screens.

I bought it as a Remanufuctured about 4 years ago. Maybe longer. It's a HP so I needed a better one anyway.
