ViewSonic monitor spasm

Sep 08, 2009 2 Replies

I have the model VG800 LCD and have looked for the schematic online, but have not found it yet. However, here is the problem. When I power it up, the green light lites, then an image flashes for a half second then disappears. The light remains on. It can be reset, and the process repeats itself. I tested the external power supply with a 5 amp load, and it manitains 12 volts. So I assume there must be a logic switch internally that trips off. Can anyone familiar with this model give me more specific ideas? Thank you.

Most likely* bad caps or decoupling in the supply to the (backlight) inverter. Viewsonic's are plagued with this problem.

*YMMV

have similar problem only thing is that monitor shows screen after several minutes. by any chance do you remember what was the issue with this monitor thanks.
