LCD Monitor problem
The internal interface connection between the LCD panel to its matrix
drivers may be having a fault, or the matrix address or signal driver itself may be failing. This is usually serviced by changing the panel itself, or by changing the drive board, if replaceable in that model. In many of these monitors, the drive board and panel come as one assembly. These monitors are generally sold with a 3 year warranty. Take it back to the dealer. If the warranty is expired, they will charge you to service it. They normally will not sell the parts to outside service people. They will tell you to send them the monitor, if you try to buy the parts yourself. If the monitor is out of warranty, my preference would be to buy a new one rather than spend the dollars to service the old one. With a new monitor you will have a full new warranty. -- Jerry G. ===== "PaulH96636" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the feedback.
I didn't know warranties lasted 3 years; the manuf. date given is Oct. 2002 so it still should apply. Unforch, I don't have the original warranty, but can try taking it to a service center in the area for an estimate, perhaps. -ph |

LCD Monitor problem
BS. I have had several good experiences with Samsung - TV, LCD and more.
On the other hand, I have a couple of Viewsonic monitors at home - they are all nice, but before - two years ago - I had to RMA 15" Viewsonic LCD panel from San Jose to LA TWICE. "Ken G." wrote in message ... Never buy anything with the name samsung on it .. all JUNK!! |
