My LCD screen got burnt out. A "pop" sound and the screen completely blacked out without any response.

I'm wondering if it is possible for the LCD screen to be repaired..

And does afking with the computer screen off while allowing the computer to run cause the screen to wear out at the same rate as leaving the screen and CPU on together?

I frequently leave my computer on with the screen off when I'm downloading stuff..

Any opinions on this?

Not worth repairing, might as well get a new one.

What brand LCD was yours?

Normally I auto power off monitor after 3 mins.

not sure lo...

most probably getting a new one, now using the old school square square fat fat kind of screen...

maybe is slightly over a year of so, possibly 1 1/2...so..no warranty :(

Should be 2 years warranty right?

I got mine recently 1+1.

Maybe you should follow what kenneth said, check the fuse in the plug to see if it's burnt.

yours is promotion, that's why 1+1?

maurizio13 SG

is it? heehee. come to think of it I did get both monitors during promotion.

I have another Samsung which is like 7-8 years old and it still works fine. I leave it on most of the time every night.

Lcds dont normally die, with a pop, CRT monitors do (those box kind)

Maybe it has nothing to do with the LCD, but something in there fused or something like that...

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Might be one those flat screen CRT monitors.

MOST LCDS ARE COVERED WITH A THREE YEARS WARRARTY

thelesis SG

your LCD monitor got power or not? try to change the power cord...

if it’s laptop could be shared VRAM, graphics card problem or a blown chip in the LCD.

if it’s desktop…. just get a new one.
