My monitor is having some problem turning on.... I turn the switch on... it will blink on lights and off again... cannot switch on... is it the adapter issue?
Wah kao... or is it cables issue?

and the first time i reset the power.. it works..

Do you mean your screen appear again and black out in the next few seconds?

If so, very likely your fused blowing.

What monitor are you using currently and how long have you been using it?

FadeToBlack SG

Using LCD monitor HP 17 inch..

been used for about 4 years or so..

yeah, u know monitor always got the light bulb to indicate power right?
It will turn on, turn off, then turn on, then off and then never on again..
only 2 times..

If it’s fused, i thought totally cannot switch on?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Automatically or what?

FadeToBlack SG

what u mean? got manually one?

dork3d SG

The voltage from the adapter is not enough to power the monitor, try getting a new adapter to try…

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Automatically means it could be due standby or screensaver.

Manually means someone controlled your computer lor. Then do a remote shutdown.

still don't understand... ok let me put this to a story..

about 2 days ago.. using halfway my monitor got shut off.. so i switch off my minotor switch.. and the on again... my monitor works again... no problem..

but today... i try doing the same trick... but my monitor seems to be dead already... u know there is 2 switches... 1 is your power supply switch... then the other 1 is your monitor switch... (my computer is shut down i'm just testing the monitor) ok... my monitor switch is always on... so whenever i switch on my main power supply... automaticallly the monitor will switch on...
so the thing is.. when i switched on... the power (blue) lights up.. and the goes off, lights up once more and goes off once more... then no more signal already.... no more lights... i checked the adapter.. there is yellow lights(so i suppose the adapter still got power)..

get it now?

unplug power and video cable.

if still fails, try with another power cable and/or video cable.

if all fails, time to get a new monitor. It's not worth repairing or repair it yourself. Crying or Very sad

FadeToBlack SG

what you mean the second part.. (try with another power cable)

ok i'm now using my brother's monitor btw... so i think the fault lies in monitor..

kaobeikaobu SG
