pc screen goes black

[wickedtart52]

I have a HP F1703 flat screen which is under 2 years old. When i switch on my pc the windows started loading and the screen is on for about 2-5 second then goes black. I tried turning the screen off then on and again stays on for a couple of second then goes black. What is wrong. Do i need a new Screen

when the screen goes black does the power light show orange or green ?

hi i only have orange and blue - blue is when it is on all the time and orange prior to going off. The blue is on.

is there a feint image when it goes black - we use hp monitors here and have seen many go black but with feint im age still displayed - this occuirs when there is a problem with the backlight

Not it just goes black. I must say that when the screen does come on it is not as bright as it normally was, but it is only on for a split second then off.

Turn your pc off, unplug it from the wall and leave it for 5 minutes or so. I would suggest (for a reason I cant explain) pulling the monitor plug out of your pc during this time. Before you plug your computer back into the mains make sure you have ur monitor plugged into the pc.

I saw this happen to a mate one time, so its worth letting you know about it. Apparently the key thing was unplugging the pc from the wall.

It's a bonkers fault, but it could be a problem with your graphics card or XP itself. Try doing a repair with your XP disc, it might clear it because this has happened to me and it worked. If it's not that, try and borrow a card from another machine, making sure that the card is compatible with your Motherboard and BIOS version, pop it in and see what happens, I'd try the card first before doing the repair. The reason why your monitor is going into low power standby is because it isn't recieving video output from the base unit, the software problem could be to do with the energy compliance settings going corrupt and permanently cutting the video signal. Give it a try, you won't permanently screw it up if you are careful!

I will try and do a repair if it stays on long enough for me to start the disk up. Regarding your second paragraph it is far too technical for me, i am at a lost. Sorry to sound silly. You then say about trying the card first? Do not know what card or where i can obtain one from. Thanks for your help tho.

It seems that your inverter board is causing the problem. Have a look at this tutorial and I'm sure it will help you repair your LCD screen.
