Re: [CGUYS] LCD monitor problems

I suspect the graphics card (or video component of the main logic
board), John.  Have you tried connecting one of these monitors to
another computer?

Thank you,

We had an LCD monitor just turn off and not go on again about a month
ago.
Looks like it is cheaper to replace than repair.

We just got a new one, different manufacturer, and within three days,
the same thing happened.

I Googled around, but didn't see anything specific.

Both were plugged into the surge protection part of a UPS.

Could it be the computer connection?  Some power problem getting through
the UPS?

Any ideas welcome.  Thanks.

I would, except I can't turn them on any more.  Not even the light that
shows it is plugged in goes on any more.

 Good question.  But the answer is No.

i had a big problem with the voltage in my house(lost the neutral).  the 
constant voltage box did not work correctly.  did not beep very often.  house 
voltage was at 175-200V.  got a plug in volt meter from radio shack little 
thing that centered at 120, and went from 90 to about 150.  almost bent the 
needle.

power company dug up entire front yard, replaced power into house, replaced all 
killed appliances.



 Good question.  But the answer is No.
